/jp/ - Otaku Culture

My shit isn't really /jp/ related...

>>33472836
Why don't you create some /jp/ related ''shit'' then?

>>33472881
don't feel like it

>>33471910
I'm not really sure how many months it will take, but I'm hoping I become decent enough in 6 months for me to be able to buy a good drawing pad. But for now I'll have to practice with pencil & paper. Biggest hurdle is what I should draw to improve or how to practice on it.

It's so hard

>>33472836
Draw shobon.

>>33476876
Pencil and paper is good for practice because it builds confidence.

I drew some Sekibanki today but I'm still not very sure of myself so I won't post my work yet.
Banki is pretty fun to draw.

>>33473038
Does that mean /jp/ is shit to you?

>>33471910
That's a very nice Junko, it reminds me of ZUN's style except cleaner.
>>33478632
Post it! Most of us are trying to learn how to draw so nobody who's worth listening to is going to shit on you for it.

>>33471910
I wasn't planning to show it off this early, but would /jp/ be interested in a Touhou MMO? I've been working on a classic RO server with various Touhou modifications on and off.

I'm not really sure what direction I want to take it in though. The main thing is that there wouldn't really be a lot of choice for customization if each class is a different character due to sprite limitations, and I'm also not sure how far I should take the modifications, right now I'm just working on replacing job classes, but I'm not sure if I want to do stuff like replace Poring's with yukkuri or so on. The other thing is that I'm not sure how many people would even play, an MMO with a dozen people on would be a little bit lonely.

I'd also like to eventually replace the sprites with my own art, though I'm not a very good artist at the moment. It's been something I've wanted to do for a while now.

>>33473038
DRAW SHOBON
HE'S A CAT WITH ONE FEATURE

>>33481770
I don't have the power to sustain something like that right now.
My system is unstable.
It sounds good though, it looks like fun going by the Webm

>>33481770
>but would /jp/ be interested in a Touhou MMO?
Yes
>RO
No

I'd only play it if it were Valkyrie Sky, Mabinogi, Path of Exile, or Trickster at least if you're going to be 2D.

>>33481770
I fuck with it heavily. Never played RO but I'd give a touhou MMO a shot.

>>33478632
Banki is cute and fun, I understand what you mean.

>Also need tips on drawing, beginner practice
Haha just draw bro.
You don't need guides, tutorials or help. You just have to draw bro.
No, I actually read a lot of books, guides and tutorials custom tailored to beginners who can't tell their head from their own asses but I'm too much of a petty selfish asshole so I'll just tell you to just draw bro. Just draw and you'll be good bro. Just draw. Because we don't live in an internet era where there's a perfect guide for newfags to learn with so you'll just learn by just drawing and magically know what you're doing wrong and what you're doing right and what you've got to fix and improve by just drawing bro. So just draw.

>>33476876
I started with pencil and paper and when I tried using a tablet I hated it. They make them ‘pressure sensitive’ but it seems like none detect when you’re using the side of the ‘lead’ of the pencil.

If you get used to using pencil properly, be sure to try before you buy once you start looking at drawing tabs.

When are you guys going to upgrade from ancient technology like pencils and tablets and start drawing with 21st century technology?

>>33487442
that looks worse than any papercraft or 3dprint i've ever seen

>>33487638
That's because you've got 0 int.
https://youtu.be/d39jqRyJ_7o?t=200

How can I get better without pencil and paper? I have many tablets (for something else >_>), and am looking at buying one with a screen on it too, despite probably not using it for anything art related. how2getbetterpl0x since I have terrible hand to eye coordination and tablet pens feel extremely light or weird to hold.

What's even the point of posting in our OC thread when you're an outsider? Go shit up your own board's OC thread.

I want to start drawing but I don't know where to start.
Anyone know good software, guides and stuff to draw cute moe girls?

>>33488107
sai

Here is a sketch that I made the other day. It's my character but I won't talk about her here.

The way I used to practice or just draw in general when I started was just trying to make full illustrations every time. I'd use many resources such as video tutorials and references until I managed to finish my drawings and I was satisfied with them. I think this helped me improve with each drawing that I made. Do this only if you feel it might help you get better.

Youtube channels that helped me in the beginning were markcrilley and mikeymegamega.

I'd recommend medibang paint pro (free) for a drawing software. Other programs are probably good as well but I've had the best experience with this one.

There's not much to my story but I've been doing this for about 3 years. I haven't been drawing daily or regularly at all so don't worry if you can't or forget to draw too often.

I hope this helps at least a little bit, good luck!

>>33471910
one of the biggest tips I can offer with art is learning how to make shapes flow together as well as learning how the line of action works. the line of action is a good reference for posing as it simulates the movement of the spinal cord. the human body mostly consists of spheres and squares when it comes to standard physique.

facial structure can be done with many different kinds of shapes like triangles, circles, hearts, rectangles, whatever the fuck

really the most real thing I can say as an artists is that we have no idea what the fuck we're doing half the time idk man i got into art simply by being a sonic fag

>>33488107
Start with a pencil + paper, then move onto drawing with SAI and a tablet.
/ic/ has some good guides but you should just download them and then immediately leave that shithole.

Something I drew last year

I try to draw daily, but I don't really consider it my drawings because I'm more or less copying other people's drawings
But I do think it's made me better, so hopefully if I keep at it I'll be able to do my own stuff eventually

>>33487874
>How can I get better without pencil and paper?
what do you mean
you get better with practice

Draw daily to get the gains. (this will take a long time)
Draw from your shoulder or elbow, not with your wrist.
Don't death grip your utensil.
Remember to do hand stretches.
Most important do finished pieces and studies, if you doodle mindlessly you will never improve.

>>33507331
But what if I doodle mindfully?

>>33471910
Very cute Junko. Please draw more, if you get the chance.

>>33471910
just b urself :)

>>33517631

>>33488107
The sticky on /ic/ has a ton of courses and resources. As a beginner the video courses by Brent Eviston helped me a lot but your mileage may vary.
>>33495045
I'll never understand the cunts there who purposefully misguide by giving bad info/crits.

>>33488107
I'll third the /ic/ tip, get the material from there and fuck off immediately after that

Haven't seen an OC thread in a long time
Here's an animation I finished yesterday because TH18 announce

>>33523952
kek

>>33523952
Nice. For a second it almost look like she was going to pole vault with the gohei.

>>33487874
pencil and paper will improve you much better than any tablet.

>>33523952
It's always a pleasure seeing your work.

>>33487442
When I stop being poor.
So never. I thought of making my own models of shows I knew were never gonna get any.
>>33523952
I think there was one a few weeks ago.
This is pretty great.

>>33481770
Sounds interesting! It's been many years since I last played but I'll certainly give it a try. What version are you modding?

>>33523952
NOOOOOOOO THE BIRD AAAAAAAAA

>>33536971
The server is based off of pre-renewal, so all the EXP rates, job stuff, tutorial, etc are all just like classic RO because I liked the difficulty and general requirement for cooperation it entailed. The client's based off a 2015 one.

Still not sure what I'll do yet. It's basically a niche within a niche within a niche if it's something I wanted to keep to /jp/, since I don't think old MMOs are as popular as they used to be. I think it's fun and a good idea on paper though, especially because I could script custom events and such. It'd be pretty sad to put months of work into it and be dead on arrival though, so I've been putting a bit of thought into it. The thing about something like this is, without anyone to play it with, it's a bit lonely.

Developer work is hard.

>>33523952
That bird getting cut in half was smooth as hell

>>33539810
I'll play with you, anon!

>>33544503
thanks, it's probably smoother because I did that section on twos but was too lazy and did most of reimu on fours

>>33498237
Looks preddy solid mane. Umineko grill with best theme desu.

>>33523952
I dig it a lot. Cute stumpy proportions and that's one way to approach the growing gohei.
And yea, we had one just a while back, but it died pretty quickly sadly.

Something I started working on a while back.

>>33554202
holy shit anon that looks wicked, give me more.

>>33554202
still WIP, I presume? Still seeing lots of mirrored parts
Also I have never seen your finish piece. Could you post at least 1 that you're proud of?

My friend tells me /jp/ is healing?

>>33559446
I made an animated version too.

>>33559446
more like rotting

>>33559446

you need to cut down on how much text is in the frame, wall of text does not make a good comic

>>33569682
he wasn't trying to make a good comic, he was trying to make an epic /pol/ joke

I would unironically start drawing OC but I can't find myself even trying when all I have is a mouse
gotta get a tablet first to make practicing worth it

>>33570393
A pen(cil) and paper will probably be faster and cheaper, and you don't have to spend forever fiddling with your pressure/brush settings

>>33570393
Excuses! Mouse is a tool like any other.

>>33523952
Cool.

>>33570530
I have plenty of pen/paper but I am unironically less used to drawing on paper at this point than I am on a computer.
>>33570534
Mouses are good for photo editing to me
otherwise they just require too much fiddling, you can't draw shapes with a mouse IMO

>>33570612
I used to draw on a mouse back on doodleordie and the best advice I heard was "pretend you're finger painting, like in the fog on a window"

>>33570636
I guess I can try, I'll dig up some of those /ic/ books tomorrow.

>>33471910
Havent made anything but this for a while
Be sure to take inspiration from different artists you like, take what you love from each of them and eventually they will fuse in some way and you will develop your own style. Also practice

there are mistakes in this but it was too late to fix and i liked the concept enough

>>33481770
I'd play it
you can get some high quality hosting with google for free once you're confident enough to host it somewhere

>>33572193
>free
yeah, but what's the catch?

>>33572193
Hosting isn't an issue, I can cover the hardware expenses myself no problem. As the other anon suggested, I don't trust Google anyways.

>>33572185
Looks really good to me anon.

>>33571695
this is super cute, although maybe the water could be a bit more transparent

>>33481770
Sounds nice. I hope I'll see it when you decide to host a game.

>>33571695
What were your inspirations?

>>33579433
Some may not be as apparent as others but; mirage333, kaduho, sorasu, takeyasu , giselebon, hono, tkmiz, tsukushiA, hakika, some jaypee/esfores drawanons and ZUN all shaped the way i draw in some way or other. Every artist I ever liked probably left some impression on me and still do

>>33580124
is koishi's hat supposed to be a transparency grid

>>33585338
she thought it was a png

>>33585943
Ah, I was hoping it would be some clever joke about koishi being transparent.

>>33573601
does it matter that much who hosts it?
I've never set something like this up before so I wonder what the downsides would be to not take a free offer.

>>33595615
There's an old adage in that if somebody offers you something for free, you're just "paying" them, or otherwise doing something to their benefit, in a way that's less obvious.

Since the server software is all being run on somebody else's hardware, that means they can see everything, and technically have access to everything - chat logs, IP addresses and more. You're basically putting it in good faith they won't nose around your stuff. Sort of like how some offbrand email-hosts will read others' mail for fun. Not really particular to google but any VPS, really. Something like that probably isn't too likely with Google, but you'd still have to worry about stuff like whatever information they're collecting or if their security ever gets compromised.

This thread is nice, and I’ve got a handful of stuff I’ve done over the past few months that I’d love to share.
October 2020

>>33596878
November. I sttill really love the colors on this one

>>33596893
Also November. A lot of my art has issues that I’m trying to get better at, and there’s stuff I really struggle with like body construction. A few of these older ones also have some glaring issues.
Also dumb file size limit.

>>33596921
Dec.

>>33596941
Last thing: a Reimu I procrastinated too hard on and didn’t finished all throughout February. That’s been a running theme with my art actually. Back in December/July I had another really bad art funk that I haven’t fully recovered from and I think all the trouble and self-loathing I had for me and what I stuggle with just killed my enthusiasm.

More unfinished stuff and sketches so I don’t spam the thread: https://imgur.com/a/IFWgBow
Thank you for your time.

>>33597039
cute angular hus

>>33589687
Nope, just a stupid joke about Koishi being dumb (and cute)

>>33596921
your colors are real nice and everything is dynamic and flowing but the actual drawing of the 2hus could use a lot of work, it's weirdly angular and makes most of them look like powerpuff girls villains
wakasagihime is good though

What if camera's never made it to Gensokyo?

>>33572185
That's great stuff, especially the hatching. Just curious, are you mainly traditional or do you also draw digital?

>>33597039
I like your composition and coloring a lot, anon. Like the other guy said though, the faces are a bit weird.

>>33544503
I thought it was two birds getting disrupted by the gohei passing between them on first viewing. Killing birds is not epic.

>>33608822
>Killing birds is not epic.
Eh. I don't know.. Blasting Okuu in the face for the first time was pretty epic to me.

>>33605698
I'm mainly traditional and grew up doing it, although I started getting into digital in the last year so I could animate, because trying to animate on paper was really difficult without a light table and pegboard

>>33612455
technically nobody dies during danmaku battles though

Have /jp/ ever try to make a magazine before? Like a collection of drawn touhou characters from anons?

>>33567486
HEAVENLYYYYY

>>33618289
what kind of magazines?

>>33620363
something LO comic? or maybe like Osaka Banpaku by Azuma?

>>33620384
Hmm, I think you could take what /jp/ has been drawing in the flockmod thread, crop it, redraw the missing parts and make a nice magazine out of it.

>>33620394
I guess that would nice but who would done the cover? and what about webm and gif?

>>33618289
>Have /jp/ ever try to make a magazine before?
Yeah. The people who didn't get in got really autistic and spammed it.

I'd just like to say that I was caught up with much more important shit right when this happened, I'll have to wait until the weekend
I suppose I'll try drawing Reimu though, I'll use my fabled eye-glance adopted techniques I took from watching a speeddraw to make a vaguely human-looking 2hu

>>33622152
>The people who didn't get in got really autistic and spammed it.
sounds very /jp/-like

>>33570534
How did you learn to animate or start with pixel art? I want to get on it too.

>>33627416
Just learn how to draw lol. Pixel art isn't that complicated by itself, but drawing is. I started by just copying whatever Guilty Gear's style (both the old one and the new Xrd one) was doing, but then kinda developed my own, unintentionally.
>How did you learn to animate
Go get a copy of Animator's Survival Kit, and make it your bible. Nothing more to say, it'll teach you all the basics you need. Hope you like walking animations.

>>33627416
>Pixel art
If you want to do good original work like that anon posted, you probably need to actually get good.
If you just want to animate small low-resolution sprites that'll take up a fraction of the screen in a game, you can cheat by copying animations that others have done and experiment a bit to get the clothing, hair, hat, or whatever, look OK.
Not saying that you should skip on fundamentals: you gotta practice to get good, and you gotta get good to create good stuff that people will want to play. But, if you just want to create some cute and simple games for your own enjoyment, you shouldn't let your lack of skills get in the way.
>>33628210
These animations are adorable and/or cool.

>>33628210
>>33579433
When you make pixel art, do you draw a draft/sketch or straight up make it as you go?

>>33628210
one thing I'd like to recommend is to not reverse an animation, make it a cycle - always looks better if you have a slightly different return stroke

>>33627300
sounds very autist-like

>>33631966
You have to be really, really, really good to draw without sketching, and it's not any different for pixel art. I'm not.
>>33634595
Yeah I know, I'm just lazy dude.

>>33604713
She looks like the Betty Boop parody from the Drawn Together

>>33622152
>Yeah. The people who didn't get in got really autistic and spammed it.
That explains everything, I had no idea what was going on since I didn't care much about LN's.
Reminds me of when the second /jp/ themesong was made around the same time, someone maliciously started spamming it onto every other board and eventually reddit in order to turn everyone against it. I've seen many people act like this before and I don't know why, must be demons.

>>33636889
Themesong was trash though. I don't get why anyone unironically likes it. I always viewed it on the same level as the board tan of /jp/ other boards (/v/) push onto it. Wouldn't be surprised it if was made on another board to begin with.

>>33618289
>>33620384
>/jp/

>>33637880
I don't see that all. The /jp/ board-tan has the problem a so many board-tans. Usually being made in the right after a board's creation by an artist who never intends to stay after the first week, either made to fill an arbitrary obligation to make a board-tan or to have a place to push their own ideas nobody cares about. The /jp/ board-tan, iirc, was for the former reason, made at the last second for a flash animation that was being made around the time /jp/ was made. It was never intended to have a long shelf life, it seemed like a one-off joke.
The second /jp/ theme seemed to have been made by someone who was an actual lurker and knew about the board and its culture and cared about /jp/ subjects enough to know how to use vocaloid and have a (very loose) grasp of Japanese.

>>33639458
I can't even remember a /jp/ board-tan, except maybe once or twice in one of those angry /v/-guy comics.

>>33642794
yeah that one

>>33622152
Seeing some of those decade old image reposts being pushed off and overcrowded by... "those" images that have only been here for the last coupe of years or so is saddening

>>33653180
All those images are spam, but it really shows how much certain images are spammed. I'm sure it even annoys them at that rate.

>>33650242
drawabox is good for general line quality/hand control.
But honestly just draw more and observe other art, or post it and people are hopefully going to give you specific tips.

>>33653571
well they should be in containment now, but the damage is already done

I dunno... the last time I draw something here in /jp/ on the spot, people at that time didn't like it so I just stopped... (see spoiler image) Before this, I occasionally draw Touhou / Anime Softcore Guro

>>33660870
Oh well... for old times sake... I'll post a few and spoiler the more riskier ones...

>>33660972

Two strokes and several mishaps and medical issues later, still alive and barely kicking my Brother...

>>33661090
Anyway, that's all for now...

>>33661090
but why arrows?

>>33662177
It started with this image back when /jp/ was still a few digits old and it's easy to get "5's"... I decided to draw Touhou on the spot while taking suggestions from the thread so it was live. I vaguely recall someone mentioned put an arrow in her heart for a good measure... this image is where it all started.

>>33662264
who's the funny guy that keep`throwing arrows to dead 2hus

I doubt there's enough talent motivation in all of /jp/ to do a single minute

I like this zombie

>>33682276
seen this image like 3 times
twice on /v/

>>33682269
it would be much better if it wasn't restricted to MMD only, and you don't have to match an overall music track. Just 5 seconds of whatever you want as long as it's /jp/, audio+visual, name in the corner unless you want to be anon

>>33684978
Original TOHO CLOCK was actually drawn animation. TOHO MMD CLOCK is just an MMD derivative.

>>33685434
I tried watching this but it was unwatchable because half of the video is just a clock ticking up

Lack of inspiration is the only thing holding me from becoming a good artist. I'm afraid that unless I copy a ton of a single artist's work, i won't retain anything from them. And i cannot choose many artists i like enough to do this. Am i overthinking it?

>>33684317
that doesn't seem really possible since I posted it one single time on /v/

>>33686743
I think that's the best part. it gives you reference for what 5 seconds are and how dense can person make it

who am i drawing?

>>33714403
But what is TIME?

>>33471910
Last /jp/-related thing I did, I want to try and get around to grinding rendering when I have the time.
>>33570393
Practicing with a mouse when beginning isn't actually all that bad, just time-consuming. Though, you can't practice lineweight/strokes with it, which is arguably incredibly important depending on your style.

>>33719339
Very nice hips.

And even then talent is a really big factor. I know artists that have been drawing for several years daily and they are nowhere as appealing or creative as Japanese artists that have been drawing for just a couple of years.

>>33734285
>What made you choose Maccaroni?
cute stuff
Those are supposed to be pool noodles, I got the idea from an anon from the /v/ thread. Thanks!

>>33734300
this feels like an album cover

>>33735591
should have added those little arm floaties too

does anyone else get insecure about their art style or is it a literal nothing issue
not the lack of a specific style, but more of drawing in a way that isn't popular on social media or other art sites

I would only be insecure if I looked back and my artstyle was pure tumblr, otherwise it's fine as long as it isn't "bad"

honestly
what do you even mean by
>in a way that isn't popular on social media or other art sites
also a literal non issue, just stick to whatever you feel is right, that also includes improving yourself
your worry somehow makes me angry, like I'm not kidding my dude, I'm vexed

>>33744668
>it a literal nothing issue
This. I prefer trying to draw in a style that would be considered an old style, due to resembling popular artists' styles of the 90s and this makes me a bit self-conscious about it, but at the same time I also realize that there's no such thing as a style tied to a time period, just artists that have popularity at certain times and those who copy it or draw similarly to it.

>>33746015
>I would only be insecure if I looked back and my artstyle was pure tumblr
I have a feeling similar to this, but rather than "pure tumblr", it's more like "maximum overweeb" where the characters always had giant sweatdrops and anger marks, turned chibi then unchibi, constantly had textboxes with arrows pointing out obvious facts, and things like that.

>>33744668
Is this really a problem for people? I get being insecure about your own art style because it isn't what you want it to look like, but it's another thing to be insecure about it because of social media sites. My art style is the way it is because I enjoy how it looks and I want more art in that style. I don't get this post at all.

I made a weird flipper device for animations, no idea if it will be useful though

OC

>>33811674
thats very cool anon, what do you use for animation? I want to start at it too, but Im not sure what kind of program I can use that lets me measure the time of the entire animation

>>33812191
This is CSP.

>>33812291
oh nice, can I use it for the other thing I mentioned?

>>33811674
If it works with After Effects, it would be useful fir me.

>>33813895
Not entirely sure what you mean by that, the length of the entire animation in seconds is just number of frames x the framerate. Doesn't really have anything to do with the flipper.
>>33813980
In AE the previous/next frame buttons are pgup and pgdn which you could program the Arduino to do, although personally I've found that AE is kind of too slow to respond if you hit the key multiple times in a row. I've always just used the mouse on the timeline.

Here's a google drive link, it should hopefully have enough information to make your own.

I know, but I want a program that lets me measure the time and timings of an entire animation
Lets say I want to make a 5 minute animation, and I want some keyframes to happen at 2min mark, 3 min mark etc
instead of just start to animate from scratch

You should be able to do that in literally any animation or video editing software I've ever seen (flash, csp, ae). Create a 5-minute long comp then head over to 120seconds and add some frames.

her hair is noticeably floofy in the zun art, i wonder how it'll turn out in most fanwork

I’m new at this but I drew a certain sage. More scribbled than drew? It’s the best I’m currently capable of but I still want to post it.

>>33864848
That face reminds me of Elly

>>33864848
I drew that Okina too a few months ago when I was just starting. Practice on the lines first,

>>33867024
-and in a few weeks you'll be able to draw without copying if you keep up your pratice and do a few research.

A lot of beginners it seems.
Practice makes perfect, but broaden your horizon with this kind of stuff.

>>33867024
>>33864848
I don't draw much myself but I do edit stuff for memes
it helps immensely if you look at the art you're trying to imitate, and then just deconstruct it part by part sort of
One of the best things I did was look at a speedpainter to understand how they drew a human body so quickly, and then I learned the basic technique for that. Though it needs practice to be perfect of course, but I feel that knowing "the tricks" should be pretty motivating

>>33869050
>but I feel that knowing "the tricks" should be pretty motivating
be prepared for whatever trick one has built up to be collapsed when they try to apply that trick in a slightly different way
not a bad thing, all things considered, if they use that opportunity to know and eliminate their weakness.

>>33867024
That's funny, it's a good Okina to start with I suppose.
>>33869050
I never thought about watching a speedpainter, that actually sounds like a good idea for getting proportions and technique down.

>>33872149
Well knowing "the trick" is just a way to get comfortable drawing harder stuff honestly, like drawing bodies piecemeal with arms having dolljoints and shit
I picked that up from speedpaints, but obviously you can't rely entirely on tricks, but it's a good "aid" so to say

bump

>>33878626
dolljoints and cylinders are really nice for getting the basic forms down before you flesh it out, but sometimes I watch people just start with a stickfigure and go from it, so I'm not really sure.

China dresses are the best!

>>33884996

Reminds me of that booba Ran artist

>>33902666
probably because of the dress, it's similar with the single large sheet in front

>>33896868
nice hips

>>33891230
Either they learned from just a stickfigure, or they have learnt the dolljoint style so well that they can just imagine it in their head.
Good stepping stone, if anything.

Day one of filling a page with 2hus until they stop looking like chimp attack victims.
Reimu looks like she has downs but I’m happy with how Murasa’s upper body and Okina turned out.

Very nice. I like that it's just not the newhu, but that the drawing has other things going for it as well. Is she drawing a pattern with smoke?

>>33947174
>Is she drawing a pattern with smoke?
No, it's not really clear yet because I am still missing most of the geometric patterns but the working idea is that the pipe is filled with something other than tobacco

does anyone else find it kinda funny when you spot the social media of an art anon? not intentionally, you just come across a familiar art style / drawing and you think back to one of these threads
of course you don't interact with them out of courtesy, but personally i think it's kinda neat.

>>33962771

but where is her other hair tube

I've been practicing on paper for months now and finally got a graphics tablet just a week ago, but then it has this problem where it moves the cursor on its own when not used. Anyone else had a similar encounter? It was very frustrating and hard to draw on, the only thing I used it for was to draw a shitty sketch of Kogasa that I'm too embarrassed to show, it would've turned out so cute on paper.

>>33989869
what brand and settings
i only have experience with wacom, even then its driver is kinda shit, not sure about other brands such as xp-pen, huion, etc.

>>33989938
The tablet brand is Veikk. I've tried everything and the closest deduction I've made is that the position of the tablet matters.

you forgot half of it; the aesthetic sense to make it look good

I wish all drawing anons good luck

>>34006451
That comes after. Without core fundamentals, any "aesthetic sense" will just be wasted effort and would distract from the need to figure out the basics.
As for developing aesthetic sense, analyzing other peoples' art by doing master studies of them would teach most of that. I don't think there's any book that can teach you 'appeal'. It's too personal and too much of a gut instinct, I think.

>>34006531
this kind of thinking is why 80% of the "art" looks like shit. Aesthetic sense comes hand in hand with the basics
