When anime characters confuse facial recognition software
has science gone too far?

Precious children

LOL
smh anime consistency
ikr
may i ask how much experience you have on digital art guys?
ok 😄
for me uh like
since i was 9-10
so over 10 yrs
but i don't think that necessarily means i'm more skilled because god knows i never use anything but the brush tool on photoshop
WARNING: I AM SO SORRY FOR WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO UNINSTALL GIMP FROM MY MACHINE
spits out drink
LMFMAOA

I tried searching for your art and got that 😛 So I wasnt to far off

just mix shin with it now
the ultimate creation
what have we done
me:ok,i'm going to be more productive on PS today!
Photoshop:pen pressure not working,try to restart the computer.if that doesn't work reinstall tablet properties.
me:fuuuuu!
good thing i didn't had to...
@unkempt tinsel
I am in such a giggling fit dear god what have I done to these poor children
YOU KILLED EM
Mix em mash em put em in a stew
Well somehow I don't think I will EVER get Artisan after this monstrosity xD

I'm surprised I am not banned for murdering your children

LOL
LOL
i'm having fun
i do want to color this but at the same time i don't wanna ruin this shading
It looks great Jade! :>
thank u

What a q t pie 
Honestly I love that in b&w.
yessss me too thank y'all
i did color it and i do very much like it colored also
oh i should probably post this in creative
I love hero academia
yaaass
Did u draw that?
weeelp,done with the base colors...but my mid finger started to hurt from the pen,so i might do the rest tomorrow

You did an AMAZING job my dude!
i especially like the little junimo you added sitting on his shoulder
Thank you,and haha yes,Junimos are so cute 😍
I like the Junimo too

yoooo lookin great! i'm loving the colors
I'm glad you do Jade 
Smookie: senpai noticed me
=))
nah
lmao
i am waaay far from Jade,but i'll get at his level somehow in my own way
*her
kill me
I thought she was a guy


Do you think I’m a guy? @mighty bronze
sorry Jade...
hugs Jade
I thought you were a girl ^.^
Amy looks like a girl name so yeah
Yay
I just think you are a cool dude ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m actually a boy
....
Jk I’m a girl
gottem
Is smookie a boy or girl
Kk

Yup :>
He had that could be a girl or boy vibe
Like those people who’s name Sam
Where’s baggy t shirts
Has a neither girly or manly voice
Amy i think we should move this convo somewhere else,i mean it's not related at creative
It’s a creative discussion
about our genders? lol

But kk
ya a general discussion about genders probably best for another channel
come at #adventurers-guild 😂
Anyone have experience on making short comics?
sorta?
i use csp for everything
what's csp?
clip studio
ah okay
I have the full version and use so little of its features
so it doesn't matter
You mean paint ex vs. paint pro right
photoshop is nice
sure it is
i dunno what the difference is tbh
Paint EX isn’t worth it
i see
i never use the 3d models and stuff, i just use comic things and my brushes lmao
ok good to know!
the one thing i will say though
is if you plan on printing, make sure you change the files to rgb in photoshop
but what interests me is this Moving illustrations and short animation
Up to 24 frames long
cause csp doesnt save comics for print, you gotta do that yourself
aha
oh yeah animating in it is fun
You can do 2D animation with EX but I’ve never tried
and I use adobe illustrator for book making so nah
i have a vendetta against illustrator but i wanna get good at it or in design
._.
i wanna make zines lmao
i still plan to do a comic 
Still have to do the page number switching before printing it out ,_,
rip
I know the printing shops could do it but I like to have it all done myself
specially if you use a special font too
Actually Indesign is better with zine/book planning
Riiiight
That happened before 
yeahhh i just need to learn how to make a zine first
i wanna run a psychonauts one
i gotta put feelers out first! gotta make sure theres interest for it blobsweat
i just figured, cult classic game and a sequel set to come out...eventually...
that it might??? regardless, im drawing stuff for it
Go go feeb
wip of the full unit!! this is the first i've ever drawn all of them together i am a Mess
cute!!
i'm done the coloring i would shade but do I want to? no
i love the bibi soldiers au so much i made an ask blog for it
I don't see why not 😮
as i sketched up the bachelorettes i realized i have like no headcanons for any of the girls
because im a big gay who spends all my time thinking about boys
so please throw your headcanons for the main girls at me
the only headcanon I have is that Maru makes it her hobby to hit on Penny in front of my farmer, even though Penny and my farmer are married, or perhaps because of it 🤣
Ohhh I like the pose!
there's more work to do u_u but it's good!
Ah neil it looks great! I love cookie run! It really looks good so far! I need to get to designing my cookie run oc * v *9
!! Im loving this so much
mffw i realise that my overly ambitious project might be overly ambitious 😤
i need to design and draw 54 cards, the bigger card, and settle on fonts and stuff but like..........hm....
if i finish some now i can put it in my portfolio and hopefully finish it up by the time we do our senior thesis?? whenever that is???? aaaaaa
Does anyone know if medibling is good? A lot of people have recommended it to me but idk if its good
I've never heard of medibling, and when I googled it, it led me to a dutch medical bracelet ^^;
idk
Also good luck Feebs!
🤦♀️ I’m stupid it was medibang
omg XD
You're okay
I used it for a little bit when I was going on a spree trying out different programs. Wasn't my style, but it's not bad per se.
ooh i like it
I'm loving it Neil! Its looking fantastic 💙
I love those details neil! awesome as always :)
can't wait to see it when it finish~
thank you!!
Anytime! :>
gimme a stardew character to doodle, peeps, please
one penny doodle on the way 
Yessss!
Where’s the George love
George! always! deserves! love! Evelyn too
I’m drawing Haley
My no. 1 girl
I drew a Haley too a few days ago but I'm too lazy to digitalize it and finish it 🤣
lol
lol
the witch is my one true love ♥
Cart lady!
Do you guys like this style?
it is, in fact, cute
yes its very adorable
ADORBS
the rounded look 2 the head reminds me of Adventure Time
I likes
Does it look good? I think the legs are too short
Possibly?
The body also starts move centred in the top, then slowly leans to one side
Ye! The torso high fives BlueWind
okay hold on
If you want to go for a chibi-like style, you might consider adjusting the torso to be smaller. I guess you can make the legs a little longer too
You're doing prtty good on how general leg curves work tho
yes!
So many people do straight collums, but legs r curvy bois
I have finished editing chapter 3 of my story. I guess I'll maaybe consider publishing once I get past 6.
instead of 12.
I mean
6 months to finish 6 more chapters doesn't seem too crazy. Right?
Seems reasonable
chapters?
Yeah
Unless they're like chapters of 10k words each
u doing a book or comic
No, I don't think even the longest gets to 10k words. Not too far, but that's a rare thing.
A book 😄
oh cool
I'm doing the editing and a little commentary per chapter.
I could'nt possibly draw a comic anyways
and the story, I don't think it lends itself to comic form.
ah
I've started writing again, writing long chapters is McHard
I keep
meaning to make comic too ;-; Just none of my story ideas feel like they'd word as comics
👀 Any of y'all doing Inktober tho? I'm doing it 4 the first time this year
yeah i’m working on the slightly chibi style, cause i wanna start doing a comic
I do have the base down i just need a good style to go with it
Perks of comics: Most comics dont actually focus on backgrounds lmao
So many come up with reasons to not have much background shown on each page, I love it
What's inktober?
There's an Inktober twitter account, gives you a prompt for each day too
but yeah im going to do inktober this year, i did it last year, except for like the 23 cause i was too busy
I think it may help if you draw a line straight down the middle, to prevent any accidental leans
Like, just a faint guide line
I always do shit tonnes of guide lines lol, they McHelpful
I've never had the motivation to do Inktober before, so I'm McHype
Hopefully going to The Drawing Room this week 4 some art supplies too
I feel, I was drawing for a bit a few days ago
Stopped, then looked back at it
Entire drawing was like, way slanted cause of how I had the sketchbook sitting lol
Digitals fine
Just give it dat inky look ig?
It used to be stricter, but it's more lax now
It's more about being consistent with your art for the month
a lot of people do it on digital cause they often have their tablet or whatever near them
I no longer keep enough paper around to do non-digital 😛
So it's more of draw something each day of the month and go beyond sketching than actually drawing with ink?
I have plenty of virtual paper 😄
Also I finally found a loophole around the clear backpack thing
Yeah, it's to help get into the habit of drawing and finishing stuff each day
On the faq it also explains that you could do all 7 days on one day each week as long as you consistantly do that each week
I just have, lots of sketchbooks lol
I just covered the inside part with drawings and said i was a messy artist XD It actually worked
I might look into it. I mean... I have to actually get better at art cos I have to make my own covers and stuff.
Lol i have about a 13 sketchbooks on my shelf and a bunch of them hiding in my closet
it's kind of terrifying
I don't have money to pay, though.
lol id do it for free
So maybe if I get lucky I'll eventually happily ask you
im the kind of person who does one free thing then charges
Art trades thoooo
Would be cool to have those going in this channel lol
rip
awww
I just bought a lot of art supplies from amazon and I don't plan on opening the boxes until the entire order comes so
I can't wait to show you all what I got ^p^
yes
i probably will
o3o 💯
👀 I
like
pink
So pink and so lovely 💗
;D
I'm scared to keep going, shading hair especially terrifies me
and I just noticed I need to fix her right shoulder :p
Awww looking pretty
I just finished setting up my ko-fi account so that I can finally do requests now I wait to get a bigger following on tumblr for it
Doing commissions intimidates and scares me so I think I’ll stick with ko-fi requests
ooo exciting!
i totally understand altho u can try to have commissions open to just ur friends first to get used to it/experiment?
thats what i did and it made things a lil less intimidating
it's just a suggestion tho! u dont have to if youre still uncomfortable
Or burn myself out?
oh yeah
definitely
commissions will start slow in beginning so it most likely wont be as bad?
That’s true
at least for me it was (and im still in the beginning too)
but you do what's most comfortable for you!
But I wanna get a following before I do commissions bc I keep deleting my tumblrs bc of personal reasons
Smh
oh yeah
i put out my commissions even tho i dont have much of a following but only bc i was just being hasty about it
I do intend to keep this account up though
BTW is it ok if i ask for ur tumblr?
oooo oke!
thank u!!
Np!!
I’ve yet to get any asks bc I have (3) followers and they’re just my friends
And I told them not to cheat and send me asks
Nccndkxnd
Thank u i really appreciate it even though you probably don’t know a thing abt the fandom of the blog
yeah no problem!!! im quite curious anyways
Is the ask haley blog McGone now?
Yeah unfortunately
I lost interest in that a long time ago
But I do have a sdv blog still but it’s just rbs
I had to delete my entire account bc I was being harassed so I remade
But I don’t intend on deleting this account anymore, even if I do get found it just got overwhelming before
I dont rly get how you somehow keep getting harassed
Seems like its happened a few times
Yeah it has
They stalk me that’s how they find me but this time I’m avoiding servers where they can find me
Sounds like they need to get McLives
Stalkings lame
Tbh
One of em stole on of my previous urls they’re hella creepy and they had the audacity to say I was the creepy one
Anyway this isn’t art related so I’m gonna drop it bc I’m way over this drama like this happened Last Year
I started playing a new game 👀
So clearly
I gotta do sum crappy/lazy art of my character
do it!
my characters an elf
I already forgot her name but I luv her
lol
Ohhhh can't wait
she is joining
The Pink Page
The pinkisition
Nice Jade!
ah...i need to get a blue pencil for sketches too
I like bloo better than regular pencil
Not as shiny in pics ^-^
I hope I'll find it where i live,though the mall didn't had it,thank you
Or something in special when it comes about sketching pencils 
I dont think the pencils I get are meant for sketching lol
I just grabbed whatever I could get a singular pencil of
Probs getting more this Thurs
My poor pencil short
Yeah i did the same...but my blue one is 
I was thinking to search for something better 
I might have some spare ones at home but still...i hate that i erease a lot because i give a lot of attention to the sketch 
I lose my erasers constantly
So I never erase
Luckily the sketches end up mostly covered lol
When you want to draw an OC that you haven't drew in 6 months
"Well time to look at how he looked last time"
Ref is very old
"Omg it's awful"
Lmao
Hehe I just see it as an opportunity to make your own OC look even better!
Upgrade!!
Remastered OC!
Oog I still remember an old oc I made back in 2013
His name was Dekion Hiroto and he was a fanloid
I should draw him but the thing is is that I don’t have a ref I only remember him vaguely
I made Kario in 2014
Shes a good bab
Has grown so much
Same Clarissa’s p old
I see it too!! Mainly bc of being probably an OC I made with an old friend, and now he's pretty old
She went from being a subconscious god to being a simple anxious farm girl
Oh my first OC being Noah, he was made in 2016
He went from boy alongside friends fighting sad shit, to boy alongside even more friends fighting university
Clarissa’s been around since 2014
So has Clarence but he used to be her mirror image before I decided to make them twins
We don’t talk abt their relationship before they were twins
I like their sibling relationship now
I was quite creative on clothes when I started, then I somehow stopped that and now I'm back at it lol
I started out designing vocaloid ocs so I always had to get creative
Much change 👀
Wowzeeer
I love how vibrant the newer one looks
Daamn

Thank you, he is my precious child now
Aww
dat progress is amazing
Look at you talking about OC,and me after 3 months stay and look like
Uhhh...i can draw Goku!!!
Lol, am now almost full OC trash
did someone say goku
Except every so or then I try to do smth related to some games lol
lol
pls do
:))
Talking about sketch from a game
I might do smth SDV related soon
Probably my farmer
👀
I see you
Ohh what'cha making there? 😮
Woah, that's one nice eye
I can't wait to see it Koog
A valkyrie
I still have to add the shadow and light on mine,which i'll do today
I think I'm achieving otherworldliness with the eyes
That's great!
Thanks :D
Aahhh looking prettier and prettier
Thanks 
Cuteeee!
oh god, I love it!
tfw you have a screen tablet and it's awesome in every way until there's a Fuckin Blackout and your tablet turns off and you just perish bc u can't draw until the power is back on.

oof
first world problems I wish I had
Daamn i just noticed that i have like 3 pages left and i'll finish another sketchbook 
That's the second one lol
Psst Jev
Time for Goku
GOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
//collapses, the power finally came back on, i can draw again
in the meanwhile, take one of the 5-10 min doodles i was doin before i got fucked
i wuv how she looks in the diversity mod ;__;
Pretty 💚 That's a cutie Emily
i lov her.........
im drawin all of the romance options + some of the villagers in this style :'D
oh i lov!!!!! cant wait to see more

grsokfdm
that's adorable
@sand flame Krita is rlly good
mimics a lot of what photoshop can do
I animate in it and I have no trouble at all
Glad to hear it, Thanks Mr. Potato.
👌
Huhuhuu it will be so fun to add the rest of the details and shadows,YOU JUST WAIT!!
Nice Smookie!
Thank you ^^
My first digital drawing (with my draw tablet) VS my most recent drawing with the same tablet.
Nice!!!!
does anyone know any pixel art servers
No idea x.x
I wouldnt recommend going on the hunt for other servers in this server lol
This thing seems 2 be going around 
Might give it a try
Cute ;D
Thank you!!!
godmorgon more like god moron
oohh that looks fun! I'm gonna try it as well :3
Do it Naru!
forgot to add clothes lol
great neil!!
GONNA COLOR IT TODAAAY
nice
Man you already posted that in sewers and adventure guild pls stop
@weak matrix
sigh
late to the party because timezones and work but
it me, friendly neighbourhood emo
that's really good 😆
FlUFF
i like your fashion taste though
thank u
its funny because i too am an emo named sebastian
(and its not even a kin thing)
(espc because i also love frogs, and live on a hill by the train tracks)
I really should have added Fox ears to mine now that I think about it...
welp everyone has their own style and preferences ^^
i even used to live in the basement when i still lived w my parents
but alas, game sebastian is best sebastian
i always name my farmer something else tho because it feels awkward to have the same name, espc because i always marry seb
i relate more to Leah since i like art,nature and animals,but i'm a boy so yeah,i prefer to marry her instead of being Leah 😂
Omg imma do that too
I worked really hard on this picture of Leah this morning /s
looking good!!
(it's just a recolor of my abigail from yesterday if you didn't see that, but at least I know where all the hue/saturation type stuff is in Clip Studio now) :p
It's helpful
I need to start working with a larger canvas
Like, those eyelashes are actually terribad if you look at them at 100% because I was doing them with a 1px brush
They look good to me.
thanks. I'm starting to feel happy with my ability to do eyes, although there are a million other styles I'd like to try
Hair's the next big thing on my list
I am bad at doing hair and eyes
My hair is usually just hastily sketched lines clustered together
here me
thank
Yes, very!
cute!!
you push me to do the same >.<
Do it Smookie!
taking the wacom tablet
feck it, imma give it a try too
ish...hard to draw the glasses lmao
And that's another thing I should have added... I might redo mine lol
lol
i'll change the original one a little because i need my mounth to be a little down 😂
Nice Blue!
I'm pretending I've shaved in the last week for that pic 😄
awwww cute
So anyway, wondering if anybody has any suggestions for me. I learn best by following along. When I first got my drawing tablet, I followed this series and it really helped me get a feel for how to use my tablet and Krita for digital painting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FfVnEIkA3I

If anyone has a similar kind of recommendation(I don't really care about the program they use) for character drawing, I'd appreciate it and give you several internets.
I've been doing a bit of searching, but mostly I've come across low quality stuff, or speedpainting that's just too fast for me to get anything out of.
I tried Krita, but it kept freezing on me...
nvm
That's sad. I wish I could use it for character art, but alas it's not meant to be.
nice to meet you!
it was fun
aww nice

also i don't watch art vids usually, i wish i could help ):
Seeing everyone do the draw urself thing is so cool 😍 😍 😍
did some random pixel art :I
ty
uuu that's a nice one neil!!
leaf man
Green lad
I love
@echo mesa I'm enjoying it
;D
i was thinking at Robin Hood somehow lol
I
love archer/ranger looking characters
So lovely
yes!!!

I like big bow
the coloring is great
I almost always play archer characters in games
Still cant draw bows tho lmao
Love all the support you have all given me
i love mages!aaah i might do a sorceress or something later 😍
Definitely gotten me to do more art for sure and try my best to improve
SDGL:D":GL:"DSLG":L
lmao
Haha
don't save that on your c drive
Macko, maybe I'll try a penny on my next attempt. thinks about Penny's hair and panics

💚
I want to support everyone here
I was a victim of my own self criticism still am but I let others judge the work and tell me what they think and where to improve
I feel like the best fanart of all the marriage candidates is usually seb??
idk
i dont see enough of maru.. my lov
i love drawing maru
👀 I would love to see more drawings of Maru, I love Maru
lemme drudge up what i've drawn of her real quicklike to appease your needs
TY
Yes! You're the best 
I think I vaguely remember it but I wouldn't mind seeing it again hehe
awww
Ahhhhh so pretty 😍
and let me find my old badge art of her
thats so good
cutie ♥
And following the rule of 3, the first ever drawing I did of her in badge form. The pic above this one is going to be her new one
Rio, I want you to teach me your ways 💙
same
😭 She's gorgeous
first: pick up a pencil
second: don't put it down for the next 21 years of your life
but asdlkfj thank you all ;u;
Oh man, I'm gonna be so old 😭
😄
I started on a penny sketch. Figured I'd go for a not-directly-facing-the-camera angle
It didn't go well, gonna start over 😛
Sketches are fun but hard sometimes @_@ good luck on it tho!
spends the next 10 minutes fangirling over that Maru hair
I really wish I could use my tablet pen stylus thing to make selections, but it likes to freak out and register a new 'stroke' way before I can finish. I think I could emulate that with the g-pen pretty well though
Dang Turret, nice work ;o I envy people who can easily draw inanimate objects. I have to draw stuff with life in them. Otherwise it's boring to me XD
And some programs should be able to have a selection pen option ;o
First-ever designs are so cool
especially when you can see how far they've come
There's always that one pic that we love to remake lmao
It's hella glowy, I like that! Reminds me of cyberpunk aesthetic
But i dont have the latest version on my phone
i’ll start my PC to send the latest version
@rich delta
the light's a lot smoother in this one, good study ;o
also here is a pic of pop i drew a few days ago
I like the gaussian glow around him 👌 v nice
though maybe it might be flooding the channel a bit with art? i don't know if there's the 3-picture limit here like there is in #creative ^^;
Thank you! :D
waves tiny canvas around while singing Little House by The Fray
omg that looks so good!! i lov the design!!
ive been "animating" for so long ive technically only finished like 22 secs lmao
https://i.imgur.com/W3txITo.jpg
Thanks
And lol, animating sure is McTime Consuming
Oooh I can't wait to see it Catto
awww i might post a snippet bc it's mainly inside jokes
transfer it...? :0
Yeah
Yeah its w/e tho
I remember being 13 and staying up all night to make an animation tl show off to my friends
It was actually very smooth even though it was always cringy
Like wolves fighting amd very bad blood. But it was super smooth and they would always have a ton of frames
It was sub par
I was a little ahaed of my time i think
But also too late
oh wow that sounds interesting! wish i could see
I deleted all my stuff from my DSi
Because i looked at it and was like woah fuck that ew.
But i have new stuff on my 3ds which is lit i guess
ahhh yeah
oo sweet!
ive been tryin to teach myself not to throw my art away no matter how bad it is
I dont i freaked out and deleted everything personal from the interwebs bc i hate people
All my commissions and trades are still around though.
o i see. do you at least have it around your computer or something..?
Yeah, only a few things that had special meanings to me but im never uploading shit again
Weird, I had Rio's Maru pic open in Windows Photos for a few hours, when I came back to my computer it wasn't really responding. When I finally got the task manager open Photos was using like 95% of my RAM. looks suspiciously at Rio
Maru was messing with your computer
New copyright protections hopefully. At least my GPU wasn't running hot so I know she wasn't using it to mine bitcoins :p
Rio is hacking your computer
Absolutely worth it
im head over heels for this girl
thank aa
idk if i ever shared it but i found a really old drawing of clarissa and clarence
Like omg they look like the slenderman
i should redraw this...
omg uve improved so much
this was back in 2014
oh, wooow
that is a huge improvement
you should totally redraw it!
It's pretty even being from back then
but now you have a very distinctive style
which is also really pretty (and I do like it even better) so you should totally redraw it 😄
im doing it right now!! i just finished the sketch for clarence
😄
ooohhh, the transition from the first to this to your new style is so interesting!
Omg I tried some new way to draw abs and it's working good!!
Gasps dats haawt Koog!!well done 
That looks really awesome! Nicely done. 😃
Yogurt i love your design! 
Thank you!!! 
👀
I'm
A huge believe in 'Treat yoself binch' as a thing to live by
And not in terms of food, I hate the concept of using food as a reward
But ya know, doing small things day to day to treat yourself and take care of yourself
So I'm thinking I could make a 'Treat Yoself Binch,' series
Just pictures of various OCs doing things they find relaxing and such, idk
That's actually a really interesting concept
Also, apparently I may need to mark my story as mature on wattpad... even though I don't think it crosses any excess.
Wattpad isn't the post mature of sites? A lot of young fellas
You can post a story and mark it as for mature audiences.
Mhm, but I'm meaning the bar as what they think should be marked as mature may be a bit lower on wattpad compared to some other sites
Not that I've actually been on wattpad in quite some time
Is it still drowning in Naruto and One Direction fanfic lmao
I've no idea.
But apparently it's about the best place to self-publish when you're kind of a nobody.
I dont rly get that
But then, I prtty much never post original writings
2 paranoid
how come?
I either worry too much about my original writings not getting any views, getting insulted, or getting stolen
The combo of those has me unwilling to share my original writing lol
I don't really expect to get much for mine. And if people insult them... that's okay. I've insulted them way worse while working on them.
As for their getting stolen, I can prove in my google docs that I wrote it first.
and if that's not enough I also have documents with notes that date from even further back.
and drafts of other stories in the series.
I have my stuff in AO3. For some reason the stuff get more hits than I expect since I only even share that stuff here and like two or three people comment on them when I post them.
I only have a fanfic in AO3.
I heard they don't exactly want all that much original fiction.
even though you can totally post it, it's not the reason for the site.
I had a few fics on AO3 do decently
But now that I've been focused on Naruto fanfic mimes a ball of dust rolling by lol
I wrote a pretty disturbing fullmetal alchemist (brotherhood) fic 😄
Yeah, I prtty much avoid original stuff on Ao3
The ones who do post original stuff there arent the most likely to be writing good stuff
quietly hugs the one and only fanfic I ever finished that actually got a decent amount of attention
Well my works are SDV based fiction. idk if that counts as original fiction hehe
I never shared mine and it actually got a few hits!
It made me happy.
I think someone cried, too
It feels lame to get so happy over hits
But at the same time it's like
"Yaaaas, binch, I'm noticed, this is great' lol
As evil as making someone cry is, I LOVE making my readers feel.
That's what's great about writing/reading
You wanna write to make people feel, and you wanna feel invested and feel as u read
I'm happy enough to know the few people I share my works with like them. I have no intention of becoming a full time writer hehe
^^
I do want to become a proper writer.
Hence why Wattpad is better for my original stuff than AO3
A friend of mine is actually making somewhat of a living with her original work.
I wish there was a big large site that's focused on original works with a more grown up vibe than wattpad tbh?
Like if Ao3 had a split-off website from its main one
I can't really work for various reasons.
So I'd like to try my hand at working on my original stuff like my friend.
i would love if ao3 had a more original site
yes. Something to really get authors out there
I think creatives that make a living on that are awesome, I follow HollyCBrown, and she puts so much work into it, it's amazing
Just I couldnt see myself being willing to put in the sheer amount of work 😰
It IS a lot of work
my friend also works on selling stuff like clipart and stuff.
so she technically has liek 2-3 jobs like that.
Holly does vlogs, and is very transparent about what she does to earn a living
And it's like
How do these people not just wanna sleep for 10 yrs
I know!!!!
That's why I want to have a really good amount of work pre-done before I really get started.
Ye, I try to be like that with comics
But then get impatient 😰 looks at all the comics I completed 3 pages of then abandoned
To get myself to stick to my work and get to finishing things, I set up a schedule a lot like NaNoWriMo
just... far less insane.
instead of 50000 words in a month, I go for something as small as... say 15000
but I try to keep it a habit
I should rly get into doing that
Consistancy is the most important thing, but I McSuck at it lol
I get really OCD about seeing that I'm falling behind.
If I fall behind, I internally panic and then just give up on it lol
I have this really complete schedule table
it tells me what my yearly goal is
what my monthly goal is
what I've completed per day
what % completion it is
what the total completion is
how much I need to do per day to finish on time
how much I need to do the next moth.
etc.
That's a cool way of doing things
Having a self-given quota, means you can adjust so it's not too difficult or too easy
Exactly
Can't wait to see some fall art pouring in
if it's too hard, I can adjust it downward, and just change, say, the initial yearly goal, and it recalculates everything
If I feel it's too easy... then I can adjust it to be more challenging.
wiggles eyebrows at my journal and considers setting sum McGoals
I'm also mega looking forward to fall art
Fall colours are so lovely
i have spurts
i used to draw every day but now most days i don't do anything and a couple times a week i'll sit down for 4-6 hours and crank something out
I made an attempt at some earlier
I sometimes abandon drawing for weeks 😰
Yay for attempting 3 fall art ;D
I got some gr8 reference pics for fall art 😍
I am so lucky i have time to draw every day
I've did it for like 3 months and there was only 1 day when i had to take a break per week but rarely lol,hope i won't have an art breakdown or smthing 
The park is awesome to get some fresh air and sketch something
Drawing outside is one of the best feelings, I need to do it more
i get pain faster if i don't use a desk
so drawing outside isn't something i can do much
How about
An outside desk wiggles eyebrows
Just have a cheap one sitting somewhere outside
maybe
Literally the perfect pics to reference for fall colours
https://twitter.com/jerianie/status/1036339820971347968?s=19
There are some stone desks in the park but i still sit on a bench at the entry of it 😂 
Somehow i want people to see me 
And that's a really great reference
A lot of orange
That pic makes me wish I did digital art lol
Need to find some fall greens
You know... maybe I should start trying to draw daily too.
smookie you're going to have a huge burnout after daily drawing since i also had the same situation lol
I may not be good at it ... but... I can get better.
Maybe we should all try daily art?
And each day we could post here with 'Day 1' 'day 2' and so forth?
Make it a friendly challenge to see who goes the longest lol
Yes! definitely try to! It's a great way for stress release and you may amaze every day!
trust me you'll improve alot after daily drawings
Yeah, I can try!
Friendly in the sense that, if you dont have time, you can do a stickman and have it count lol
I know Callie is just amazing!
i like that idea
if I have no time, I can just make a study.
say, draw a hand
or an eye.
Non-pressure friendly challenge amoung pals
Best kinda challenge, cause we all just want each other 2 do our best
Could be fun
We want to improve faster but patience is all 
Yeah! Without pressure and whatnot, it might be better.
I'm doing Inktober next month 😰 Be nice to have a kinda more relaxed challenge before that
I'm usually intimidated by the pressure of things.
yall thinking of doing inktober?
I... might.
i have this witch prompt i'm going to follow i think
I suck at traditional art dkxnxnx
same rip
But I suppose I can try
i'm doing it digitally
I’ll probably be drawing Eli and the BiBi Soldiers for 30 days tho
Yeah, I'd have to do it digitally too
I used to suck at traditional art
And then I got annoyed at both my laptops and switched to traditional art and am doing mucho better
because not enough paper
What is inktober may i ask? 
you do a prompt for every day of october
and you usually have to use black
and other shades of black
Added info - https://inktober.com
yee
I'm probably going to have one colour asides from black
Hence why I've been practising only using pink as a colour on a page
thats what i plan on doing too
Wowzer that sounds interesting
Ooo
In the faq there's mentions of it being fine just to do it once per week and stuff like that, and about how the focus is consistancy ^~^
Drawing with ink??can it be a back pen?
Guys, I'm so happy right now. The way I self-teach is unorthodox, but I'm so happy with my progress. Slowly but surely I'm putting together a sort of style. I can totally do eyes and hair-coloring now!(a little bit 😄 )
I have Never done inktober but I might this year
Yay for self-teaching and improvement!
And practice!
The years my first Inktober and Im
So!
Hype!
That is really great Blue!
Woot
I'm kind of doing my own inktober already. I don't set hard goals for myself cause then I get disappointed in myself when I have bad days and don't do anything.
Just do what I can when I feel like it.
I need to think more about it
abs are pretty hot though.
if i don't have muscles at least let me draw them 
I don't have an IPad 
But i look forward to get something like this in the future
is that a wacom?
Why though?
It’s too heavy
I like being able to carry my drawing table around
I'm not sure I could really work with a cintiq.
I have a Surface tablet, and it can get hard to draw some details when my hand covers the drawing.
So you say that an IPad would be better Soy?
an ipad wouldn't have all the programs a normal computer does.
Hmm as in drawing, cintiq def wins
couldnt u move the canvas around if ur hand is blocking the way?
You can move your canvas..
im not rly s- oh are u drawing with ur fingers??????
no
also ye im not really understanding here bc i also work with a screen tablet dkjghfgjfd
but i don't hold the pen properly.
Are you talking about cintiq or
Aww
can you prop your wrist a bit?
....That also can strain your worst in some cases
Yeah, I can't really do much about my fingers getting in the way here and there.
my wrists don't do well with strain.
Oh.. could be the way you hold the pen
Yeah, I don't hold it right 😛
I used to do it when I was younger haha had just the tip of the pen peak out of my grip
my fingers are too short.
But that's okay
I don't own a cintiq
I do own a Surface, which is good for many things.
and a normal intuos 3.
It’s nice to have but I wish it could do more lol
sorry about incoming typos
I feel like at this point all tablets are on par unless you are aiming for specific models with extremely high pressure sensitivity
I mean, the normal ones 
That Cintiq tablet with the clip studio paint software would be a huge jump for me,but again i won't rush things because expensive things won't make me better 
I know some people who prefer their old friends
A friend has a cintiq and a bamboo and she keeps going back to her old bamboo
My intuos 3 is godly.
I have an intuos draw, too, but it's nothing compared to the intuos 3.
I want to try an iPad, I've heard really good things about drawing on them
those screen tablets seem neat, but once you've had practice drawing on a regular one and got that hand-eye coordination down I can't see how they give you any advantage
You sure will improve fast with a screen display tablet ...only if you draw a lot
