good work

These threads will always get ruined by some artists and their followers so why even bother creating new ones?

>>11252706
These threads always get ruined by some non-contributing butthurt anon.

>>11252717
The starting point is always some not that well drawn pic from the same overrated artists. Then it gets spammed by people without any taste (as long as the pic has unhealthy huge boobs in it or a loli), while other pics from good artists get totally ignored. And if someone makes the rest of the posters here aware of this unfairness then he gets accused of being a troll. Okay...

>>11252759
>while other pics from good artists get totally ignored
It's weird how often people complain about this, yet the "pics from good artists" still get ignored. You'd think people like you would make an effort to set a good example.

I want to see more drawings from unsocial NEETs because deep in my heart I know that they are the best people around here and their feelings carry the most weight.

>>11253093
Because being a good person doesn't change anything to the better anymore. From the looks of it you have to be an arrogant asshole like most of the popular artists to make people listen to you. The nice and quite people only get trampled into the ground or ignored.

>>11252717
What if an anon who posts an awesome pic say bad things about the other artists?

Hello I am the person that make the fake 2hu music awhile back; trying to make something else but not sure where to go with it:

>>11253305
He probably can justifiably and likely has supportive information to critique them to help them improve.

>>11253389
Love it, sounds just like the stuff ZUN makes. It has this Touhou-ish kind of ominous feeling to it.
Do you use soundcloud? Anyway, please post more.

>>11253389
By the way, the way it slowly builds up at the beginning with the trumpets kind of makes me think of a last stage boss.

>>11253389
I don't usually bother listening to the music made in these threads, but this was excellent! I could easily imagine it being from a genuine Touhou game's soundtrack.

please send help

>>11253616
please send not-crap drum samples*

>>11253389
Damn, I've been fooled by the positive comments... It sounds all the same to me. Sorry but you need to practice some more.

Does anyone here watch drawing streams on Niconicolive? I can't figure out what tags people use for them.

>>11253863
Please tell me you mute them at least in case they are talking.

>>11251906

>>11253495
>>11253389
You are amazing.

>>11253886
Most of the time yeah, unless I am trying to ask them something.

>>11253389
Please do more, I need it

>>11253389
Not really good.

>>11253389
That's cancer for the eardrums.

>>11253389
Hmm, doesn't sound like tohou or in any way interesting.

Maybe you weren't drunk enough while making it.

>>11253863

Pretty sure I get the most streams with 描く. You could also try デッサン every once in a while if you're interested in people sketching, although I always get limited results with it.

>>11254005
Cool, thanks!

From your experience, have you been able to see what settings they use, or do most of them usually hide their command panels? Even when they don't hide them, the quality of the stream still makes it hard to see sometimes.

Hey /jp/. Today is a sad day for me. This is gonna be a tl;dr post, but I figure this is the right place to post it.

I'm a former indie developer for a group of friends that was working on a visual novel/eroge. Today is the second week since the project was cancelled.

I was the lead writer. I can't draw for shit and I'm bad at coding, but I was tasked with writing narration, plot, choices, and character personalities and back stories out of our little four man team.

A year ago, we were inspired by Katawa Shoujo, which was born right here on 4chan. We fell in love with it; beautifully written, developed by an indie group, and with great artwork. We thought if they could do it, so could we.

We stated from the outset that it wouldn't be a nukige; we wanted all four heroines to have dynamic personalities, great back stories, and have their own likeability. We wanted quality over quantity.

The project was soon titled 'Home,' and was to be set in a dark, science fiction-like setting during the peak of a war that threatened to destroy the entire planet. Home was the name of a secret facility that took in war orphans, but in reality, was a lab that attempted to turn children into supersoldier killing machines. It ended up being even darker than we originally intended, with one yandere route, and every route having a very tragic twist, even if it was entirely possible to have good endings with everyone, some of which had every major character surviving.

I won't go into too much detail. The project died recently, as said above; too many people got busy IRL, and everyone drifted away.

Everyone except me. I poured my soul into this. I fell in love with the very characters I was writing.

I'd do anything to see it live.

>samefagging

>>11254034
Must suck to be you. Should've gotten a girlfriend instead.

>>11254040
I have one. In fact she designed one of them with me. The token moe who seemed to be the only genuinely happy person in the facility, turns out to be a stepford smiler who uses her own power (illusion) to create her own little world where she has everything she wants and doesn't suffer in the facility like the others.

She's a bigger weeb than me. Ironically, she's why I got into anime in the first place.

>>11254015

A pretty fair amount keep their panels visible, but to be honest, I generally don't make the effort to note settings they're using. Sorry to be of no use there.

>>11254034
Nothing gets done when you put nothing at stake, whether it's money, social standing or relationships.
People won't care about the project enough and when the time comes, people would rather not sacrifice something else when simply dropping the project costs them nothing.

>>11254034
I've been in your position several times in the past. Finish that script on your own even if you can't find new members right away. Tell that story.

>>11254034

Just finish the story and then either find other coders and artists who believe in you or learn how to draw and code.

>>11254077
I will man. Even if I have to convert it from a visual novel to a light novel.

I worked too damn hard on this to scrap it.

>>11254055
>She's a bigger weeb than me
Is she qt or a hambeast

>>11254034
You got what you deserved for being social, because social people should stay away from our hobbies.

>>11254034
You have no talent. End of the story.

>>11253389
As someone who likes touhou I must say I feel insulted hearing you say it's supposed to be fake touhou music.

>>11254055
People with girlfriends/boyfriends are not real otaku.

Learn to draw

/jp/, I signed up for a drawing class so I can one day draw Touhou porn.
It's now at the advanced level and we are drawing nude models today.
It's the first time I will see a woman naked. I'm a little scared, yet perhaps excited. Wish me luck!

>>11254146
GL&HF!

>>11253887
i love it

>>11254146
Uhmm, we don't care? It's so easy to learn it at home, so you have no excuse other than talking about it in real life or on the internet. That's pretty sad.

>>11254151
Thank you
>>11254160
I'm lazy and unmotivated, so I would browse /jp/ all day and dream if I tried to do it at home.
Having a teacher to whip you into shape and to teach you skills and techniques is rather helpful. It's like a coach. Especially when they critique you. And I think studying the human body in real life will help me with my form and proportions. We already drew skeletons.
I'm sorry if I am useless or blogging though. We should try to remain positive if we want to produce quality original content.

>>11254176
How much is the course?

>>11254176
Good luck

>>11254146
>>11254176
Good Luck! I'll wait warmly for your Touhous. And now shut up and do some grinding!

>>11254034

no sympathy >>>/v/

>>11254034

Go to /ic/ to learn to draw.

Go to /vg/ and look in the agdg thread to learn to make games.

Make it yourself. The logic in game isn't that hard. Also, you could probably find some people to help you.

>>11254313
Aww, you didn't really improve since your last posts. You must be one of the slower learning artists.

>>11255028
How fast do you expect people to improve? Jesus christ.

why do all art things turn into high school - tier bitch fests

>>11255062
Contribute something or get out.

>>11255157
why? so i can get passive aggressive remarks thrown at me?

>>11255062
because /jp/sies are NEET high school girls

>>11254176
>I'm lazy and unmotivated, so I would browse /jp/ all day and dream if I tried to do it at home.
that's why you draw while on a toilet.

take something with a hard flat surface, like a book or a hard cover notebook. a4 size. you'll use it as a table. if you have printer paper, take a few sheets. take a pencil and an eraser too.

then get to drawing while you take a shit.

>>11255229
Is this the way scat artists do it?

>>11255186
If you can't stomach it if someone tells you that you did something wrong then this is clearly not the type of thread for you. We aren't little kids who begin to cry if we are confronted with criticism.

>>11255318
i dunno, but the toilet's the only time i'm away from my pc, so i have some freedom to draw.

i only draw while there and sometimes during fapping.

>>11255229
It would take you a year before you finish anything that way.

>>11255350
well, because of that my toilet time extends to nearly an hour each time. i only do sketches, so few trips and it's all done.

sometimes when i get started, i finish after returning too.

>>11255003
Just like your face.

>>11255370
What kind of comment is that supposed to be?

Been without internet for a year. I wish i could participate in these draw threads.

One day I will contribute to these draw threads.

How did you not kill yourself?
I went two days without the internet and it felt like I was going to die.

>>11255343
I cry everytime someone criticizes me...

>>11255580
Oh its not an easy task. Im miserable.

I have the willpower to not suicide.. But i cant go without internet for another year. If that happens ill consider it.

Request a /jp/ related thing.
I will draw it at the best of my tablet abilities
...tomorrow. maybe.

>>11255813
Can you draw Orin forming a heart with her two tails?

hello /jp/

i am a new artist and I am practicing how to draw.

this is my second month of drawing practice, and I feel that I have drawn something that is worthy of your praise.

here it is, a life-like depiction of Alice.

please rate and comment and give advice for further improvement.

thanks in advance!

Well there's your problem you fell inlove with a game development subculture that has all its priorities wrong and puts faux style above substance.
>A year ago, we were inspired by Katawa Shoujo, which was born right here on 4chan. We fell in love with it; beautifully written
Now you're just trolling.

Get out KS devs.

>>11255941
No can do, long legs are against my religion.

>>11255952
No she is a youkai

>>11256174
On a serious note though, I think you should practice near side profile faces more. Nazuna's eyes could also afford to be a bit further apart from each other, considering the original style.

>>11256174
Nazuna is looking derpy but overall, that's some cute as HELL art.

>>11256188
Thank you! I'll look towards practicing those faces on comics more.

Finally got around to compiling my more recent melodies

Sorry, but I'm extremely original when it comes to drawing things. I'm just going to close this thread right now and go to sleep.

I do however wish everyone else in the thread lots of good ideas!

What the hell are you doing OC?

>>11258743
I don't have a tablet pen. I do have a bunch of papers I stole from school. Is it important? I can see the advantage in digital drawing but is it worth it?

>>11258756
>Is it important?
Do you want to carve on a rock?

Take your pencil and draw.
Digital vs traditional is up to preference.

Most people just do digital because its more flexible, no need to pay for materials and has some shortcuts too.

Manga is usually done traditionally.

Neither will change the fact that you can't draw a body in various poses, you have to practice that yourself for along time.

The other day I was watching someone draw with a fuckhuge tablet which was about the size of two keyboards. Has anyone had a really good experience drawing with larger, more expensive tablets? Do they make it easier to draw? My monitors resolution is fairly large (2560x1440) but my tablet is pretty small (a wacom bamboo). Is it worth getting a bigger tablet like that?

>>11258790
I draw with my ThinkPad x61t, it's basically a 12" 1400x1050 wacom tablet. The quality isn't as good as a real wacom tablet but it's still pretty decent considering it was like £200.

I don't have any experience with shading. What tools should I use in sai? I assume the pen and airbrush tools?

>>11258743
Basics you say, but I can keep drawing my feet, hands, desk, door, bed and whatever for ages, and I doubt that will have serious impact on my skills to draw cute 2D girls. Instructions for getting good at drawing are just too vague. The books that are listed as "beginner level" in the /ic/ sticky don't even touch the technical aspects of drawing, such as shading, in any way. Funnily enough, they will mention "Shade your picture" every so often, though.

>>11258790

If you have the space for it. I have to position my tablet in front of me with my laptop in a certain angle to to left with a small monitor in front of the tablet. It sucks.

>>11258832

Go sign up on cgpeers and download tutorials there. Ignore that shitty sticky.

>>11258832
>nd I doubt that will have serious impact on my skills to draw cute 2D girls.
Are you just copying or learning.

The point of doing so is to understand form, 3D form, if you can't draw 3D form to represent an object, you can't do anything but flat drawings.

2D girls are no different, you'll only be able to draw the from the front or side, nothing in between until you really understand what you're drawing.

>>11258832
Shit takes years, dude. Even if you have talent.

>>11258836
What should I start with?

still trying to get good.

>>11258865
It's pretty offensive when you say something like that while you're already better than an estimated 90% of the /jp/ population.

Fuck that shit. I just wanna draw ero manga already and participate at Comiket.
I don't have time for all that basic crap.
Just need to learn how to draw like rustle.

>>11258997

But rustle traces over see piss.

>>11259007
Well it can't be helped, if that's what's required to become a great artist like rustle then I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

Joking aside, it wasn't even him, it was Higashiyama and it wasn't cp, just some mild lesbian photos.

I always try to improve how I paint water. It's strange but I actually hate sand and the beach but it's usually what shows up in my paintings.

I want to make a short vn with a bully MC but I heard only beautiful people are allowed to bullying and even rape without consequences. Is that true?

>>11260307
All I can say to that is that this world isn't fair.

>>11260263
That's really pretty, I like it a lot.

Are you the anon who hates grass too?

>>11260263
That's really pretty, man

I just remembered that I actually have a bamboo tablet. I've only use it once.

Maybe it's time to learn how to draw.

>>11260318

Yes thats me. I don't hate grass it's the color green that I dislike.

I hate backgrounds so much
I don,t know where to start, can't find any good guides on them and /ic/ only tells you "go draw outside" like its supposed to come naturally

>>11260371

The best advice I can give you is first to learn perspective. It is only in tricking the mind into thinking one box is further than the other, rather than simply smaller, when you will understand depth.

The second thing that would help is atmosphere.The further away something is from the viewer it tends to become less saturated and more blue because of all the atmosphere between you and it. A good example of this and what I think would be a good place to start is a foggy forest. Your colors are going to be the most important part of the painting as they will determine how important something is through contrast and how close it is through saturation.

It would help to go searching for landscape paintings and seeing how other people do it.

>>11260371

Also generally speaking the further away something is the lighter it is and the closer the item is to the viewer the darker.

>>11260395
How do I understand it if I only want to do line work without using any colors? From the guides I have seen I only get that you have to use an horizon line and vanishing points, the rest is hard for me to comprehend.

>>11260428
This

I have a hard time blending things together seamlessly.

>>11260428
>>11260444

I'm not very good at explaining things but hopefully these help. Imagine a cube you know it has six equal sizes. It has a very rigid shape that will not change or be different every time. This is why if you are doing a perspective piece with a human creation within it it's going to be very difficult and tedious to work on and around this structure. at the same time however you are trying to create a composition so you would break the hard edges with soft or looser ones. In the bottom left image you can see that with the left building it has a bush to stop excessive hard corners and that area is nice to look at the other building isn't.

All lines that aren't vertical would point to a vanishing point however in real life you usually have a third one but it's usually so way down that it wont matter until you add some super top down perspective. You can even point a one main point perspective somewhere in the image like in the bottom right to give an image a lot of dynamics. Your horizon line matters so make sure you place it somewhere good even if it's off screen or slanted.

Sorry if this is all over the place but I'm tired and not very good at explaining things;

>>11260521
I could draw a similar sketch in lines and then when its time to color I have no clue how to go about it.

If I do, it feels like I'm drawing everything in distinct objects and in the end it looks like filled-in art done in Flash if you get what I mean.

>>11260585
Stop using lines then.

>>11258865
thats called "anatomy study"
i think you can stop doing that and jump into lines and shadows

meanwhile you are at this why not modify your tool and create a pencil one?
http://beroleagle.deviantart.com/art/Paint-Tool-SAI-Pencil-Brushes-96742060

>>11260585

Use thinner lines for distant objects. User lighter chalky colors for distant objects. Although ideally you might want to not use any sort of lines at all for any object or at least not for any distant object. I know when I look at a lot of good Japanese artists they still have everything very constricted and it looks like it may be outlined but it's usually only very frontal objects and usually only hard surfaces like machinery.

>>11263576
Good job, are you into Naoki Urasawa's work?

>>11263576
I like the updates

Every time I try to go outside my comfort zone with drawing and try to experiment with new techniques I can't stay focused long at all. Why is it so hard to improve /jp/?

>>11263703

You're trying to teach your brain and body how to remember and understand new things. It won't be instantaneous. Keep vigilant!

>>11263703
>I can't stay focused long at all.
You want to give up because its hard and not in your comfort zone.

Kinda like how it takes will power to start exercising, its easier to just stop and give up once you start feeling pain/tired.

Rough but I am tired and did it quickly. My parents are going to bring home shopping soon so I can't fall asleep or else I will feel bad later.

>>11264289
I like this.

>>11264289
Do you have any wallpaper sized similar images?

>>11264879

No but I could make one later. A lot of these aren't very big or even if they are they're not quite appropriate for a desktop.

Does anyone pretend to be Japanese on pixiv for uploading loli things?

>>11266195
Everything I make looks western as fuck.

>>11266215
Wish I could befriend and bully that miko

>>11266215
That's really cute, though it's like her upper arm disappeared.

Yes, it would be too obvious if I tried
Maybe if I could work up the motivation to do my reps every day

Cheese please!

>>11264289
I love clouds so fuggin much.

>>11266424

I do too but I wish I were better at painting them. My clouds never really feel like clouds.

>>11266449
I feel your pain. You are my favourite OC thread artist by the way.

>>11263576
looks horribly western. If I were you I'd start over from scratch.

>>11263589
That's an insult to compare this stuff with it.

Should I practice to draw something in one go or always make a scribbly sketch first for all eternity?

>>11266529
I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing, dude.

>>11266795
Its still a decent animation
Keep doing stuff, you've got some potential
My penis agress, don't bother him about it

>>11264289
Your paintings make me think of this guy's stuff

I somewhat fixed the girl's face.
Also to balance out the western-ness I added a traditional japanese painting in the collage

>>11267030
I think your art style would do great in a detective game.

Not sure if anyone remembers me, but... This is how I learned to shade since my last attempt. I know my linework still needs fixing, but how is my shading?

>>11267383
It looks fine, but you've spent way to long on your drawing. Try to work on your speed.

>>11267406
I just haven't worked on it much until today.

>>11267030
Reminds me of Billy Bat.

>>11266795
Animate some grinding next.

Please! I like your art of the jiggle.

>>11267431

>>11267435
Didn't mean to link that to anyone.

>>11267435
cute
highlights on that right arm could use some work

>>11267383
Could you please share the full image?

>>11267431
Who should I draw grinding?

>>11267555
Ummm...I don't know!
How about Alice? She could dress up in slut wear and start grinding against an unsuspecting Marisa! THE CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

I don't know anything about music, but I like this a lot. It gives me a sad/lonely kind of feeling but it's really pretty.
Could you put up a download link for it? Unless I'm not seeing soundcloud's one.

>>11267724
Welp, forgot to make it downloadable, now it should work. Glad you like it.

>>11266471

Thank you but the one person who did that loli with the teddy seems better at rendering.

>>11266781
It's a rock.

>>11266716
Sketches are good for planning. Color doodles are fine digitally because of how easily you can make them.

>>11264879
I am working on one mow as I mentioned here >>11266001 I am planning on having a ship flying on the right side towards the camera but first I have to make the background look really nice.

>>11267696
Why is the first song so dissonant in comparison to the rest of what is on your soundcloud? I enjoyed listening to the rest of what you had, by the way.

>>11267769
Your colors are really nice, will you make anything more finished? It looks good from the thumbnail too.

>>11267866

That image is going to be more finished when I finish it.

How do I get better at drawing houses, /jp/?

>>11268058

the best way to make that house look better is to give it a foundation and seperation from it and the grass itself. Perhaps even a driveway to the side as well and a footpath with front fence. The house itself isn't really that much of a problem compared to the lack of its environment. Those trees look worse than the house.

>>11268073

Yeah, I know the environment is lacking. I plan on adding a driveway/step path and some plants or something.

What kind of front fence would you suggest? A lot of houses around here I see don't have front fences.

I am randomly generating the city and I'm not sure about fence placement for blocks with varying yard heights. Should I do A, B or C? Or something else?

>>11268102
Connect each letter to each block with a line, however, you CANNOT have a line touch another.
Can you do it?

>>11268150

...what?

Okay in something like this:

A) Yard sizes vary, empty space behind each
B) (block height - yard height) is given to front yard
C) like B, but difference is given to back yard

>>11268058
>>11268161
Have you played Sim City 4? You'll get some ideas from there.

>>11268161
The pic you posted here >>11268102

Do as I instructed.

>>11268102

What you had in the original lot seemed fine. Square lots with house in the top left corner. Perhaps change it up based on house style and maybe wider houses that are either wider or just include garages.

>>11268058
Aren't you the guy who's developing the loli kidnap game? If so, progress update?

>>11268254

Yes, yes I am.

>>11268226

I am unsure of what you mean by
>Connect each letter to each block with a line, however, you CANNOT have a line touch another.

>>11267769
This is now my wallpaper.

>>11267435

I think it's more the whole style that's ugly and not just one face.

Better no one, because you can't draw.

>>11267030
Looks crappy. Learn how to draw expressions.

>>11254034
Post your e-mail, I am interested.

>>11257040
because you're one of the decent ones here i'll let this slide but >>11257057 is right even MNL didn't come on here shouting it was his birthday, stop being so pretentious

>>11257040
And even on your birthday the only thing you could draw is something shitty. It's sad, isn't it?

>>11267834
Oh, man, i don't know; i only know what a song will be like when i've already finished it, so i tend to have a certain variety of results. Also, lately i just upload anything i remotely like, and well yeah i suppose that's kinda out of place in there (i've done worse, i think).

i can code a little, maybe just maybe... you know
i made this e- mail just for you, pls respond

>>11269657
Why do you respond to this horrible kind of person seriously?

>>11269671
because i lost control of my life and i have no job

>>11269676
Then you should team up with good people and not someone who says he has a girlfriend, uses that fucking frog meme, and says he was inspired by KS. Oh wait, now that I think about it it's obvious that he is just a troll. Okay then don't get in contact with him because he is a troll.

>>11267769
Looks great so far! I'll use that one until it's done.

Recently I've been trying to paint scenery. Does /jp/ like?

>>11269754
Nah, it's not that great...

>>11269754
It's a bit abstract?

>>11269764
>>11269765
Any advice on how I could improve?

>>11269754
I like it. Don't make it look more realistic.

>>11269754
>yominokuni.png
Take a look at this weeb.

>>11269769
It wouldn't be impossible to improve the pic by drawing over it with your eyes closed.

>>11269890
Wow you're mean and nonconstructive.

>>11269769
The picture looks stylized. That's why people don't like it. It's a taste issue.

Do you guys search for 東方Project or 東方 in pixiv?

>>11270049
For character names.

>東方Project

Why would you do that? A search for 東方 already covers it anyway. The only reason to use a longer search term is too many false hits, which is not going to happen with something as huge as Touhou.

>>11269754

I had this problem when starting too. The biggest issue is scaling over distance. If you can't convince people of that scaling and depth your image is failing as a landscape.
You seem to not have the basics of vanishing points understood as all lines need to be pointing towards them. You can practice by drawing a bunch of cubes in the same scene at different locations as it will help a lot. A series of cubes can then be advanced into a city with enough work.

>>11270079
Oh god my biggest annoyance are artists who don't tag 東方 properly.

Had a whole front page of touhou stuff but only tagged the character names.

>>11270419
Looks like you are new to drawing. Don't worry, everyone starts at one point. It looks amateurish but I've seen worse.

>>11270419
Man that's some fucked up proportions.

>>11270419
It doesn't look good.

>>11270419
I know why you don't try to change anything about your drawing style. You are all sulky like a little kid and don't want to give in to someone who could be a troll, right?

>>11270419
I drew better than that when I was still 17.

>>11270419
those hips are ridiculous
4/5 its okay

>>11270419
Oh wow you aren't even allowed to say anything negative about this person anymore. I made one negative comment that said the picture doesn't look good. Give me one reason why I shouldn't start torturing little animals now if I'm not even allowed anymore to say what's on my mind.

>>11270419
I gotta say Magister, that face does not look MILFy enough. I think if you worked on that, the image overall could look a lot better. The face doesn't fit and just pales in comparison to the rest of the image that is supposed to be softer and more adult like.

>>11270419

>>11270557

No one is allowed to say anything negative about this artist anymore or the comment gets deleted. But of course it's okay to say something bad about anyone else.

>>11270632
What's this then?
>>11270553
>>11270563

>>11266736
You aren't Zone-Sama right?

>>11270682
No, but that's quite a compliment...

The ship didn't work so now I am not sure what to put in the painting. maybe I should have another attempt at it. I guess th eproblem is hard surfaces.

>>11270419
You are not an Otaku. Otaku stay on the internet and don't go to cons. Otaku stay away from the 3D world. You have no idea how much I hate you. Even child murderers get more sympathy from me. How does it feel to always get special treatment while being an arrogant ass and looking down on people? You don't even have any talent. You just had some luck being surrounded by braindead ass kissers. Rot in hell already if there's something like justice. Oh how I wish all your characters would be purged from the internet. All you deserve is being hated.

>>11271663
Why must there be meanies in every thread demeaning his works and his personal life? I really don't get it. Your definition of otaku is askew, by the way.

>>11271681
I am personally kind to people who deserve to be praised, but not him. He is just someone who stumbled into the wrong hobbies. If drawings had souls then his drawings wouldn't have one.

>>11267383
Hard to tell from just this fragment, but the hair shading seems to be a quite different style than the rest.

hey man just do it. Just sit down and give it a try. Whip it out and slap it all over the paper. I'm about to do it right now. Let's both do it.

>>11270004
No Anon. This artist (are you this artist?) needs to read some tutorials about drawing backgrounds or scenery. You shouldn't tell him that "it's a taste issue" or else he's no better than a 14 year old on DA.

>>11270004
>stylized

yet another complete retard misusing the very popular scapegoat excuses word

>>11269754
Wait, is this supposed to be a river? I thought it was train tracks, but then I saw the tree(?) and now I'm not sure.

>>11273412
>>11273444
I want to contribute, but whenever I notice these threads, they're a hundred posts in, and then when I get ready to draw, that titty midget guy posts and the thread gets 300 more posts and starts dropping. It'd be falling now if not for post deletions probably.

One day, I'll have prepared an art a month in advance so I can actually post it in a living thread.

>>11270004
>The picture looks stylized. That's why people don't like it.
You're an absolute retard.
You don't "stylize" before knowing the fundamentals, if you do you end up with typical DA trash and excuses.

>>11273489
It's a (badly drawn) staircase

>>11269754

With all these interpretations it gives people, that picture is probably the only actual art in this entire thread.

>>11263576
why were people saying bad things about this?

>>11273531
People give interpretations to things, not the other way around.

>>11273531
You possess a child's perspective on "art" and need to go back to school.

>>11273542
An adult's perspective of true art is the Mona Lisa which is just a painting of an ugly slut that looks like a man.

>>11273546
That's not an adult's perspective, it is also a wrong perspective. The Mona Lisa's importance has been overhyped to fuel nationalism, hence why two countries argued over who it belonged to without giving any real shits about the work itself.

>>11273531
With "actual art" I presume you mean "pretentious artsy garbage", and not actual art.

>>11273551
And yet the majority of people who are experts at art consider it as such. You aren't an expert, why should I believe you over them?

>>11273563
I don't know. I kind of went on a tangent.

But a piece yielding multiple interpretations =/= good art.

>>11273575
What is "good art" anyways?
Its all up to opinions and we can't objectively describe any piece as "good art"

We can judge execution though, and that painting has poor execution because of the artist's lack of skills.

>>11270729
>>11253887

if you link to it from off site or some nsfw topic (like /i/'s nsfw pic dump one) he can't do shit since it's allowed by rules.

Haven't used actual lines in a while.

In the end I couldn't think of what to put on the right. perhaps next time I'll pay attention to my layout and composition...

>>11275013
This might help.

Okay I'll try it out and post the result in the next thread.

New OC thread where?

>>11275848
Why are you turdlings always so impatient and feel the need for a new thread asap? Can't you non-indigenous little tits learn to sit back and take it easy, even for a bit?

>>11276042
I-I'm sorry... ;_;

>>11273717
Yeah, I know. I've been really unmotivated as of late with digital drawing.

>>11275013
Colors are pleasant, reminds me of Dice Tsutsumi's works. Composition could be better though.

>>11276142
Draw more. I like your weird shit.

Practice lineart

I have an annoying problem.
I know I'm supposed to make a drawing by first making a sketch, then do the line work and after that coloring/shading. I have some knowledge about anatomy and I can draw clean lines, but somehow I need a lot of more steps in between the first sketch and the final line art. Even if the sketch looks alright, a lot of errors appear that need to be fixed when I begin to draw the smooth lines over it. I don't know if it's a problem with my planning or if I should put a little more effort in the sketch.
It takes really too long until my drawings are finished and I want to speed the whole process up.
Any tips how I'm supposed to do this?

>>11276676
Post some of your work so we assess the problem better.

>>11276720
I'm afraid I'm not confident enough to do this.

>>11276855
How can you expect to improve if you're not willing to get feedback?

>>11276855
How is someone supposed to help your problems if you won't show any evidence.
Your post is stupid sorry.

>>11276676
Put some more effort into the sketch and think about what you're putting down more. Without knowing what it looks like, the best I can say is study whatever you're drawing, maybe pick up a book on it too if you can. It's good you can notice faults but you should really pick up on them sooner.

>>11276855
