>>3829184
Line economy, weight and flow. Pretty much all lines should be simple CSI lines. Add line weight to focal areas, undersides or places in shadow, parts that are closer in perspective to the viewer or when you want to create space between two things that overlap. Things that are stretched will have thinner lines in the areas that are stretched. Avoid tangents like )( shapes or conveniently converging likes like Y shapes. Don't chicken scratch. Plan out your lines. Think about what your line is trying to describe and find characteristics you can add to the line that distinguishes it from other lines, if it's needed. Don't add thick outlines to an entire object because that flattens it.
These are just things to think about. Experiment and be your own judge of what works or doesn't.

Also, from my own experience, if you're drawing from imagination working in proper lines won't save you unless you understand the volume that you're trying to describe.

I really want to know, what is this (picrel) art style? What are it's defining features? Does it have a name? Does it draw from specific fundamentals, or a style (eg. cubism, expressionism, etc.)? What are the techniques, that create such results?

These are just basic questions that boggle my mind. If there are any details you are capable of extrapolating from the image, please go on.

Efficient? There are no shortcuts. Learn how to draw and render it, by practicing.

Dynamic? That's pretty subjective. You make choices when you draw, and you insert dynamics into the drawing. You learn to do this over time.

Interesting? Also completely subjective.

Get some cloth. Drape it over something, light it. Draw it. You'll learn what's interesting and "dynamic" over time. That's how the masters did it.

Somewhat stupid question
A few months ago, maybe a year at most, there was an OP post with a picture of a statue of a cute angel girl. Later on in the threads there were more pictures, and I think it had been recently damaged or something, maybe due to people taking photos with it.
I never saved any photos but wanted to see it again, does anyone else remember this?

It should have your best, arranged in chronological order. If you're seeking to be attractive to companies you need to show off your latest work but also be sure to show that you understand 'artistic development', not just have a bunch of pics of well-rendered girls. But if you're trying to appeal to the masses, you should show how you've grown over time.

Line weight is the biggest issue I see. It looks like the brush size is very small and the pressure curve is too sensitive. Try setting it for less falloff with pressure (make a curve that looks like ln(x) ) and it should give you something closer to what you have in graphite.

All art-centric subs are self-masturbatory and anything that isn't absolute top-tier high-quality work is completely ignored.

Posting to themed subs and their memey counterparts gets you much more traction, as long as you don't specify that you made the work because self-promotion is looked down upon for some reason. Always include a link back to your gallery/twitter handle in your piece. You can get bonus points if you make an alt and claim that 'your friend/family member/boyfriend' made it. However, if you post from your main account don't be afraid to own up to the piece if someone asks who made it, as at that point you can respond with plugs.

God damnit guys, I'm having a very irritating pen pressure bug in Manga studio 5.

Every few strokes or even mid stroke the brush cuts or defaults to what seems to be the lowest brush size even though it was fine previously. I tried reseting ms5, and even reinstalled the drivers, but nothing works. Is this only a bug or the tablet giving out?

This is on a fresh win10 install because my pc crashed last week so I don't really know if paint 3d is accurate with p.sensitivity to test it out, but it works fine on that. I'm already late as fuck for work, tablet giving out right now would be some fucked up timing.

It's not so much the overall time as it is the quality of the time you choose to use. hours of dicking around goaless in a sketchbook will probably yield lesser results than structured study on a single topic and then applied in 40 minutes. Building off the last thing you learned and practiced. The rest is building muscle memory of basic shapes and lines which could be done in a sketch book anywhere any time.

I'd say it's because digital art is more accessible and cheaper to get set up, and also a mix of not sharing "dirty" lineart or pictures that show smudges. There's also the fact that most people think that just using digital means you're automatically a better artist. As for the people who switch from traditional to digital in progress charts, I have no clue.
I'd say money is a big factor, as well as it's easier to correct mistakes in digital (ctrl-z), and add photoshop tricks to trick people to think you can actually draw.

I can't get the perspective right on this and it doesn't look quite right to me. It's supposed to be the character on the right. I can't find any other canine art with a similar angle to reference either so I'm basically completely guessing this.

practice drawing cubes like that. start with something like two cubes for the upper half of the body and two for the lower half. work out what the cubes look like foreshortened in perspective, turned, tilted, whatever. after that move on to things like cars, shoes, or playground slides. rotate those. then try rotating people around drawing them at every angle rotated and in perspective. look up "krenz perspective" image studies. you need to start with primitives and understand perspective before you can do the body. then it's just filling in the blanks based on the bodily relationships you're using. things like finding midpoints in perspective and subdividing are a must and eventually they'll be ingrained in you.

find krenz stuff that's been subbed, there's some lectures on cgp and an unsubbed mega in the artbook thread i believe

An easy setup for this is to draw a narrow rectangle over a figure, then cross it from corner to corner to get a central point. That central point lines up with the pelvis, and then you can distort the rectangle in perspective to put figures in perspective. Mind, do this after you can distort cubes and what not in perspective first, otherwise it'll be hard to slot in the figure

So using Krita I haven't found a brush I enjoy inking with. Do you guys have any brush suggestions?

I found one I kind of like but it applies the 'curve effect' (?) far too easily. Like I can't even draw a circle without the far side being 3 times as thick as the side the circle started on.

Any idea how I edit this? I know how to get into brush edits but I'm unsure of what to actually adjust.

You should understand what different pencils do and what you can (and want to) do with a pencil. Harder pencils (h, 2h, etc) will produce thinner lines and lighter grays. Softer pencils (b, 2b, etc) will produce thicker lines and darker grays. With a soft pencil you can regulate the thickness with pressure in a much wider range than with a hard pencil, but it takes practice. I usually use one 4b pencil for everything I do with a pencil, but I don't do much, only rough sketches. Mechanical pencils are fine, but you should know that most of them have thin leads so you can't have any variation in your line weight and can't fill large areas by tilting the pencil. But there are mechanical pencils with thick leads.

the paper trick never worked for me, i just powered through the learning curve with pure autism and drew exclusively on my tablet for a year. it's a different kind of hand-eye coordination that you've never had to use before so it just takes some time to develop but once you do, the benefits are immense. the only advice i can really give is to simply use your tablet as much as possible even when you're not drawing anything, just use it to navigate your computer or to do delibrate scribbles while you watch movies, before you go to bed etc... also try not to become too dependent on stabilizers while you're still getting used to things, they're very useful for certain tasks but can also make drawing artificially harder.

yes, however you can be looser with painting. you still need dexterity to be able to get the brush to do what you want. a good drawing is necessary for a successful painting. if you find yourself redrawing large portions as you paint, scrap it and start over from redrawing it before painting.

trad translates to digital more than digital translates to traditional. then there are some things that work equally both ways but it's useless to describe until you see for yourself. i find digital really difficult to get decent linework with but i enjoy painting with it. there are a lot of things you won't understand with digital for a long time that you would find out quickly with traditional, but some things are easier in digital.

do both. also that paper thing doesn't work for me at all.

>>3836650
opacity and brush density are the most important features for me when it comes to brushes in csp. i use 1 to 0 on the top row for density, shift + numbers to adjust opacity. also set a hotkey for mix ground because you don't always want that on. for pushing paint around i would recommend something that's like the blur brush to mix what's there, or a drier mix ground brush. there's an acrylic gouache set on clip assets that has some nice default settings.

The pressure curves are hard to get right so I forgo it and use a CSP brush where the ends taper automatically; if I need to make it thicker I go over the line again or adjust the size. Inking with a brush or pen has better stabilization from the paper surface itself. There's so much more control with physical that a stylus can't hope to achieve in my hands but that's my experience.

Just adding on that I can watch professional digital artists drawing on youtube/twitch etc and they always ctrl-z lines and go over their work in multiple layers for cleanup meanwhile you can look at KJG, Karl Kopinski, Eliza Ivanova, Peter Han working with first line = final line, usually working in permanent media.

My theory is that their idea of what is 'appealing' is their own subjective view. They may think what they're drawing is appealing, while not necessarily the case.

Genetics may also play a role. Some artists are born with a natural mental/visual handicap.

there's only so long you can practise before your brain refuses to take in new information. hours of mindlessly staring at the screen like a zombie will not necessarily be good practise.

or, like a great violin teacher sad, "practise three hours a day, maybe four if you are a little stupid. any more than that, violin is not for you."

read the guidelines

When you share a photo that has a width between 320 and 1080 pixels, we keep that photo at its original resolution as long as the photo's aspect ratio is between 1.91:1 and 4:5 (a height between 566 and 1350 pixels with a width of 1080 pixels). If the aspect ratio of your photo isn't supported, it will be cropped to fit a supported ratio. If you share a photo at a lower resolution, we enlarge it to a width of 320 pixels. If you share a photo at a higher resolution, we size it down to a width of 1080 pixels.

If you want to make sure that your photo is shared with a width of 1080 pixels:

Download the most recent version of the Instagram app.
Upload a photo with a width of at least 1080 pixels with an aspect ratio between 1.91:1 and 4:5.

No come on man i'm not retarded. The front end of my pen is bugging out not wearing out, I didn't even know a wacom pen could die but it does.

Basically every few strokes the pressure detected gets stuck between 1 to 5% for the pc/wacom diagnostics, until you lift up the pen again, no matter how hard you press. The eraser side never has that problem, it didn't bug a singe time, so it looks like it's not the tablet, but the front pen side.

I still got no response on the quality of chinese tablets though, are they good or trash? if it's good there's no way i'm paying for a pen when I can get a whole new and more efficient tablet for 10 more bucks.

I'm trying to draw from life/photo ref, but I'm really bad it. I've read through many of the resources posted regularly on /ic/, tried different approaches to drawing and seeing, and no matter what I do I really struggle to get an accurate drawing. I'm familiar with symbol drawing and I don't think that's my issue. I notice that I'm really bad at judging proportions and shape size, I'm not sure how to get better at this except for measuring every little thing. Any advice?

You may have to just take your time for a while, worry about speed later. Place every line thoughtfully, and carefully. Observe and take in what you are looking at and just go bit by bit, even if it takes you a week. Personally, I get impaitent and fatigued very quickly and have the same issue, lose a lot of accuracy (it is as though I tell myself my current motivation lies on a very short timetable and so I need to get something out before it's gone).

I've tried going really slow, really observing. I read that "Draw what you see" book, the exact title/author escapes me, but essentially it recommended a 'Look, Hold, Draw' approach, really focusing on observing and taking in what you see. Still didn't click for me. Maybe my issue is just shitty hand/eye coordination? Which seems unlikely because I've been doing this for a while now, not to mention other activities that should enhance my hand/eye coordination (sports, video games).

You develop that as part of your style. These are not universal rules. Depending on how your drawing is going, you may decide that you need to add more line weight to X rather than Y because you judge that X needs to communicate the idea implied by extra thickness more than Y. That's the sort of mindset you need to be in.
Look at line art that you like and investigate the decisions that the artist took. Tracing and redrawing it yourself would help a lot.

Best to just practice with it in mind. It's actually not that hard to do and there are not that many dimensions to it, so you can figure out something pretty quickly relative to other topics like color.

I didn't call you retarded. I've just never heard of the pen wearing out. If you take a Wacom pen apart, there are no parts to wear out - the nib sits in a copper coil that attaches to a circuit board with wires and floats inside the pen case, and THAT can get gummed up with dust or crud, and you can clean it out. It sounds like that's the issue. It's worth looking into before dropping the cash on a new tablet. There are no mechanical parts to wear out. If the wires were broken, it wouldn't work at all.

me neither, which is surprising, I already bought it though, as I was in the middle of too much work and couldn't really wait. 85 bucks on what seems to be a petty good tablet that's going to pay itself in an hour or two of work is a pretty good deal to me. I was looking to upgrade to a screen tablet soon anyway, apparently newer ones don't have that glass gap between pen/screen which is great.

I did open the pen to maybe clean it, but I still have the same issue, I noticed the copper at the tip was a bit loose, but too dumb to know if it's normal or broken. I'll look into it a bit more, would be cool to fix an 80€ pen, thanks though anon.

It’s not weird, but I don’t think it’s a good thing. If you mean rendering when you say drawing, and you spend a lot of time detailing shadows within the face to end up with the result you find attractive, but only have low standards for the body so you don’t define it properly- it’ll end with your work looking kind of unsatisfying. I had this exact issue but I didn’t realise what it was that was so unsatisfactory, I flipped my canvas upside down and realised how over rendered the face was compared to the body.

why do women and black people have it so easy on social media?
>international women's day today
>many girl artist RT other (quite shitty) girl artists just because they're girls
>many of them are banding together and getting a significant boost in followers
>mere weeks ago was visible women's day where the same shit happened
>all of last month was black people sucking black dick because black history month
>despite improving leaps and bounds (only compared to my own works, not in a Dunning Kruger way) in the same time frame, I've gathered maybe 8 followers across all my social media accounts

should I just start a new account and pretend to be a woman? Not like anybody would know. All jokes aside, it's crazy what free advantages girls get in the art world. Even Holly Brown still has an army of white knights despite being total ass and after the tracing bullshit.

How do I stop symbol drawing? I have trouble drawing from ref and when I do those tricks like flipping the ref photo upside down my drawings come out looking much more accurate. How do force myself to be able to do this without resorting to gimmicks like that so I can just draw from life?

I've read all the books that are often recommended here (drawing on the right side of the brain, etc) and while they do contain exercises to practice, they don't really explain how to do it outside of the exercise.
Has anyone had any success training their brain to some symbol drawing? What worked best for you?

How do I stop locking up and freaking when I'm trying to learn? I haven't gotten past page fucking 16 of drawing with a pencil because all these questions keep overwhelming me and extraneous sources flash into my head that go against what he's doing. Like how am I gonna grow out of making the ball noses and cheeks? What if I want to make a different cheek or nose shape? How the fuck do I know where to put those guidelines? "Under the nose is so fucking vague and contradictory to what he actually did, which is more like in the middle of the nose, but who knows because the noses collapse in on themselves as the face starts down to a single micrometer of connection so that could be "under" the nose?

I just can't take it. I wanna puke. Do you guys have any ways of keeping your head clear of all this shit? Is music good or bad for it?

The only purpose of Keys to Drawing/Right Side is learning to draw what you see instead of relying on symbol drawing, right? I did a few exercises from the begginings of both books and I think I'm good enough at that already, can I just ignore the rest of the books and skip to Loomis? There is too much bullshit in those books.

Anonymous Fri Mar 8 17:57:58 2019 No.3842550

>>3842525
Skim the bullshit and do the exercises.
Keys to Drawing is obviously less bullshit than Pseudoscience on the Right Side of The Brain, but you should at least read the paragraphs around the exercises before doing them, then just scan for key information in the rest.
Finish what you start, anon.

A bit of a weird issue only indirectly related. Normally I'm pretty chill and I don't give much of a heck, got no trouble sleeping even on rotating shift schedule. However whenever I draw or paint something more ambitious I can't sleep because my mind is churning with anxiety about the work. I'm literally losing sleep. I really want to improve but how do I care less?

Do you also have giant mess in your files? Every file in my drawings folder is named something like gayyshitlmao001.psd and it has 30 layers with random sketches and 3 unnamed groups containing finished drawings. I create separate files only for bigger projects. And I can never find anything.

the one that looks cool to you. and make sure to draw more than you read until you feel like you get stuck.

if you don't care what you think looks cool, construction is a really good way to go, loomismeme, perspective books, that kind of stuff with boxes.

They like talking about it
They are interested in the nuance (may be concentrated on visual detail, composition, concept, etc)
They actively identify what makes art good.
I have a film major friend who will just go "Oh, it was a good [whatever genre] movie" after seeing a film, and he can't expand on why he likes it, what makes it good, or how it made him feel afterwards. That is a sign of low passion to me.

how long's it take to get used to a screen tablet? i just set mine up and matched the colors best i could to my monitor, still kind of strange to be using a pen to draw directly onto the screen. doesn't help that it's matte and has quite a bit of friction compared to the old chinese screenless one i used. feels like im scratching it whenever i make a stroke
