i think u should!! even if u dont draw traditionally a lot, it's nice to have when u cant draw on ur computer
devout bridge
that being said, digital art tonight or watercolour stuff? cause i want both but i only have so many time
lament turtle
I have become really reliant on digital
devout bridge
same tbh
thin dagger
hmm u could try digital but makin it look like watercolor?
devout bridge
traditional is fun though cause theres even less rules
nahh i have a new watercolour set i wanna break in and a thing i wanna do
lament turtle
I had to draw for my therapy session today too bad I didn’t get a pic
devout bridge
i just also wanna mess with digital tonight lmao
thin dagger
ahhh ok
lament turtle
It was all abt self esteem and he was like “you drew her just like how you look” and I almost cried
Idk I mean I kinda see it but not really
I do tend to project myself onto my favs A Lot though
I do wanna draw today but sadly I don’t have the time sobs

Nah nah i saw ur earlier WIPs

Weren't they confirmed to have dated in like the very last ep of AT?
I didn't see it
The ep i mean

Niiiice
My favorite gays
Is that why BG never got with Finn
My personal headcanons include Marcy as a hardcore lesbian and BG as pan
Wait
thin dagger
oh yeah i headcannon marcy as a lesbian and pb as a bi
but now that i think about it
pan is also good
frail adder
Buuutttt it's kinda canon that Marcy is bi too technically so idk
She had a boyfriend for like one episode
thin dagger
u rite
honestly just happy that they r happy and gay together
and that i could drawt hem
devout bridge
i think they were canon but in that 'off screeen/away from audience' kinda way. the hsow just finally addressed it
frail adder
Yeahhh
devout bridge
it was in a panel iirc
thin dagger
yeah
frail adder
I can see why
Well
Kinda
Unfortunately i can see why
Because as accepted as it is now to be LGBT, they prolly would have suffered from a lot of parental backlash
"I don't want my kids exposed to that" kinda shit
frail adder
Yup
But I'm really glad they confirmed that
To be hella fuckin honest, I'm Just Your Problem is such a bop

I need my RWBY so bad. People shouldn't have to go so long without best girls
mighty bronze
I should start doing a comic,I'll doodle something today 
onyx island
I should do the drawing I was planning on doing but got too caught up making a mod 🤣
mighty bronze
I see that artists use a simple style for the Slice of life comics and they turn really good drawing them again and again,so chibi style would be good to start with i think?
onyx island
Yeah I think so! You don't want to go too detailed on them since you'll be drawing them over and over again. You want enough details to make them easily identifiable at first glance
mighty bronze
And to tell the story 
onyx island
Then again I know nothing on comic making, I'm just saying what I think might help 🤣
mighty bronze
You help for sure
austere plover
If you start basic then you can get it downpat
That's what I'm tryna do atm - doing more simple stuff and slowly building up to more details
mighty bronze
Yeah i noticed on many artists
devout bridge
i'd just. draw.
dont work on finding a style, learn to draw a lot of things first and your style will develop
draw however you draw and figure out what works and what doesnt
rich delta
I've found that taking anatomy really helped improve my style tbh, or at least studying it for a couple years
My style was way different, like xxxHolic levels of bad proportions, beforehand
So if any advice I can give, it'd be that anatomy helps a heck ton, or it did for me at least
austere plover
Where are some good places to find anatomy? Is there like a particular website you guys used, or just google?
mighty bronze
But chibi isn't hard,right? 
I use Pinterest a lot for references,and it's ok in my opinion
echo mesa
I mean, I find chibis difficult
Studying anatomy can always improve how your chibis look regardless
echo mesa
Chibis arent just a mess of limbs, you can get better poses out of them by studying real life like you can with any other art style
brazen lark
https://line-of-action.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/ this website is p fun for me to use when i wanna practice some figure drawing
timed challenges are Real good in testing ur ability
also on a personal level, i feel like drawing comics was a huge push for me to get better in All aspects of drawing since i was forced to draw things and angles i wasnt used to LMAO
echo mesa
An @ for when u return @austere plover
Ye, I'm drawing a singular page of a 'maybe' comic rn
it certainly interesting lol
You're Punkgarden on tumblr, right? Do you have Kofi and/or do commissions ?
devout bridge
i use nude models for anatomy
so youtube is fine
if you dont have classes
blobsweat im tryina do comics rn and im stugglin with panels
devout bridge
pin is okay for references, but i'd advise against looking at chibis for anatomy help. you wont improve with anatomy/proportions if you draw yourself into a corner that way
yells!! i know! and i just wanna do something small and stupid
brazen lark
i always end up doing several versions and thumbnails bc i want!! it to flow well!!!
and i always get super insecure if i end up doing the same sort of panels over and over again ;__;
echo mesa
It's
bugging me that I didnt list those in alphabetical order
probs gonna redraw this page a few times
mighty bronze
Nice
So i have to get a better understanding in anatomy before to draw smthing stupid feb? 
devout bridge
im so mad cause i wanna make it easy since its just a lil shit post comic but I WANT IT TO LOOK NICE
aaaaaa
i dont wanna thumb out a shit post lmao
...prolly gonna tho
mighty bronze
I see
devout bridge
you need to now anatomy before you can break it
good art doesnt come from styles, styles are made up of what you've learnt and what you found works for you, its not somethign you set out to do
mighty bronze
Ahaaa
devout bridge
just draw what you can and make it work
mighty bronze

Going to do the lines much better 
Legs...hands...
Ugh
Only 40 mins for these??ok need to draw something else
onyx oxide
lone mountain
something about this blue hand is really throwing me off even tho i used a reference
i thing it needs to be longer, the arm atleast
or maybe the other one need to be shorter idk
humble lava
the purple upper arm is a little short looking.
echo mesa
I think the forearm lengths are good
^ I agree on what Gainem said, but I think its the forearm folding up that makes the upper arm look shorter
humble lava
and maybe the forearm is a little long, for the direction it's facing
idk. Perspective is a big ol' pain in the left buttock.
lone mountain
ok so i got the purp arm to look okay
but the other one look ver akward
esp when i flip it
humble lava
iunno. Maybe the upper arm is a bit short there too. Aside from that it just looks a little rigid in the hand and wrist.
mighty bronze
3 months ago i couldn't even draw a stick figure and look at me today 😂 ooh but this is not all,I'm going to do some magic with the hair at home
Because I'm hungry 
And somehow the eyes don't feel right
austere plover
I think it's because they're slightly facing different ways? Left is facing up, right is facing more to the right?
Looks good though! The flower in the hair is super cute
mighty bronze
Some edit will do
Thank you
And idk why she looks more like Leah
bingo
Why not do it digitally 
Aaah can't wait to get home

I mean, it's cool
But why post it in both creative channels? People who check these channels will definitely see it even if you only post it in one

Just like Jar said,it is cool to post your art and get feedback,but we use #creative-discussion to get advices while we do a WIP or simply talk about art and the #creative to post the finished piece
echo mesa
I McTried
5 mins per pose
austere plover
Challenges are so fun tho 😮
echo mesa
Lol, I decided to stop doing the 10 pages a day challenge
Too grindy
Doing Looc's character challenge tho, with occasional drawings of poses like that one
I love challenges since they give you something to start with, instead of trying t entirely come up with the whole idea
austere plover
I should make a tumblr post for it - so it's somewhere everyone can see
Yeah! And gives you something to focus on too
echo mesa
What's ur url again? o3o You mentioned changing it, and then not changing it
And now idk what it is lol
echo mesa

I got lucky when I renamed my old url, made it in a time I was talking to Rly
U cant talk to Rly about tumblr and have an ugly blog
These two rough sketches look way better with ink
I love ink
Makes everything look 200% nicer

Waiting for the full lines 
mellow loom
how can i make sure i'm getting something out of figure drawing
i'm using it to practice proportions & just get a stronger idea of human anatomy
but i feel like i'm just kinda learning how to imitate a few shapes instead of understanding how it works
mighty bronze
I don't think so,anatomy might be hard at start but before to build something you have to know how to deconstruct it,after all the body is made of geometric shapes
rich delta
It'll take time to see the changes
devout bridge
if you draw it enough you'll pick it up tbh? i dunno what to tell you aside from keep doing it
mellow loom
aight
devout bridge
you gotta draw a lot of bad stuff before anything looks great y'know?
mellow loom
i'm not dissatisfied with how they're coming out
i think they look fine
i just don't feel like i understand how the body is working
rich delta
Pre anatomy lessons
Compared to my stuff now there are major changes that I didn't see at the time
devout bridge
ah. nah that just comes with time then
rich delta
Yep
devout bridge
like theres still body parts that i dont really know how they work, but i know how they dont so i avoid doing old mistakes if i can help it haha
oof lemme see if i have pre anat drawings somewhere
rich delta
Mine were baaaad lmao
Anatomy I'll always recommend afterwards
You don't need to major in biology but just knowing overall measurements helps
mighty bronze
Omg those characters Rio 
rich delta
Lmao
mighty bronze
I like them lol
rich delta
Yeah they're a couple, I need to revamp them
I have an old revamp of the guy lemme grab him
devout bridge
oh nooo feos birth in 14 lmao
mellow loom
& i'm ok with how they look? i just don't know how to apply it
devout bridge
hes changed since then
and nah they look pretty good
now challenge yourself, you've got a rough idea
do it with less lines. try doing it with nothing but gesture or shading
no contour
rich delta
devout bridge
come up with ways to push what you're learning
mighty bronze
rich delta
The revamp was huge for me
mighty bronze
When did you do that one?
rich delta
Three ish years ago
mighty bronze
Wowzer

It's fun for me

I can relate
rich delta
Materials are infinite and you can fix any mistake
mighty bronze

i like it cause its more forgiving lmao
that and i draw mirrored
and i have to use cameras for that traditionally
mellow loom
i like digital for lines but not for
uhh anything else basically
painting/coloring/sketching
mighty bronze
In the park i was like
where do i find a mirror??
rich delta
Lmao yeah coloring is way different from lines
mellow loom
coloring SUCKS
mighty bronze
It will be a challenge but you will get used to it with practice
rich delta
I love fill tool
mellow loom
it's so much more tedious than traditional for me
How do you use fill tool without like
messing up the anti-alias
rich delta
Fire alpaca has expand by pixel ratio
Same with their magic wand tool
It's soooo nice
mighty bronze
just let the mistakes happen friend,and learn from others
also i do recommend Clip Studio if you ever think to go further into digitally,coloring and shading is like heaven there!!!
rich delta
Mistakes were hard for me at first
mellow loom
i haven't tried clip studio
mighty bronze
it is a free trial
rich delta
Neither have I but I did use Manga studio for paneling
mighty bronze
tho
rich delta
I hope they still have the panels

i don't like it for anything else though

Aseprite was a compulsive purchase. I'll have to use it one of this days lol
mellow loom
i can see how a specialized pixel program would be good for animation
but i don't rly animate so i haven't found a free program that didn't work ok for me
rich delta
I used gimp for my pixel

It wasn't bad
rich delta
I could dither so that's all that matters forme

Not styles, you randomize the list
And then you either draw a character from it, or a fan character

sighs i wish there were better examples of what i'm doing to use as references/inspiration but there's only one person who's made a name for themselves doing battle cuts and they're...not what i'm looking for? like a few of their many creations are, but like... majority aren't
sobs i wish this wasn't such a niche
i now know the pain of fanfic authors for small fandoms/niche communities
mighty bronze
and what did you plan to do?
rich delta
i'm doing battle cuts rn and trying to find my style with them
they're really cool and i've always wanted to do them
i'm starting out with pokemon but wanna move onto things like league and anime series with them
rich delta
yep! i wanna do prints of them and maybe commissions in their style since battle cuts are huge in communities that have team comp like league and pokemon
but i can't start until i know how to do them and i can't know how to do them without practice but references/good examples help out so much, if only there were more
rich delta

I haven't personally - but if I was to make a in depth backstory I probably would
onyx island
you could always go with the classical "adjective-noun" combo for last names lol
echo mesa
I tend to google 'Common last names for InsertCountryHere' lol
A lot of my OCs have last names but I sometimes get them muddled
Like, Kario and Sebastian are siblings
Then there's the siblings Jay, Andy, Gav and Jack
The first two had Cowan as a last name originally
And at sometime the second set claimed that last name

most of my ocs have last names, its just the dnd ones that i dont bother with

my parents dont know i have ocs

I didnt realize my hands were so shaky until it took me 3 tries to get that pic lmao
Older names for females always sound so elegant, I luv it
But also: Names that are meant for men that are given to woman, thats the stuff I love 👌
devout bridge
rn i have a new baby named siddel and i love them ; o;
austere plover
😮
devout bridge
im so excite
especially cause on paper i know they sound edgy af but theyre gonna probably end up some kinda backsasser/nerd. cause thats how all my ocs do
echo mesa
Siddel
Sidd-el?
Sid-del?
How pronounce?
Edgy characters are good bois
So are backsassers
All character good boi
devout bridge
i say it sid-dle but sid-dal/del is also right lol
like theyre edgy but not Edgy i guess?
cause aasimar are basically reverse tieflings so. y'know. human parent having inhuman looking child leads to Questions about lineage and stuff
echo mesa
Edgy in a not sharp knife way?
Butter knife edge?
devout bridge
nah like it makes sense edge
echo mesa
Ah, conflicted upset boi edge
devout bridge
like aasimar are meant to look celestial 🌟 and angelic ✨ but like...not all angels are the pretty alabaster halo wearers? theyre more seraphim looking
echo mesa
That sounds like an awesome backstory, I like when characters are written in a way where their upbringing rly affects their character

devout bridge
you can use the same brush you were using and just make it smaller
mighty bronze

Every so often I get comments on art and I just 'no person would ever say this looking at my post,' or 'no one types that fast, I posted 1 second ago'

How big should the head be on a chibi? Also what else do i need to change?
rich delta
the head can be as big as you want it! i've seen some where the head is 1/2 of the total frame, i've seen some where it's 15/16 
and i think it looks good so far, skeleton-wise!
fleet gazelle
So just leave it?
rich delta
imo you can o3o

im looking for a topic to base my art off of, any ideas?
unkempt tinsel
can someone also tell me how to freaking save gifs in photoshop
apparently having your animation up (and working) and saving it as a gif doesn't do it
even tho the original file was also a gif
unkempt tinsel
there is a save for web
austere talon
Try that, it's the one I use

ok maybe that worked ty

i have two subjects to choose from, and i cant decide, Fullmetal alchemist ling, or slice of life, what do you guys think?
actually nvm
unkempt tinsel
fullmetal alchemist sounds more specific so i'd go with that

I'm attempting to draw a dancer character from ages ago again. Ignore the arms since I've been focussing on hips and chest first and foremost.
This is actually coming to me way quicker than the last time I drew a body. It's not perfect but for a second shot? Could be worse.
unreal stream
Yeah I haven't touched the arms at all yet. Those are up next
Wanted to make sure I was happy with her torso and hips first
devout bridge
Keep at it since it's a little too early to offer many opinions/crits!

@onyx island (posting here since i dont wanna spam the creative channel) its making a heart with ur index finger and thumb! it was a big trend in korea for a while but ive been out of touch for a bit so idk if its still popular https://cdn2.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/89/96/korean-finger-heart-i-love-you-hangul-vector-17898996.jpg
echo mesa
Koreans always have such adorable trends
And Yogurt has a rly cute gril as their pfp, and that has inspired me to maybe start listening to kpop
Why must people that are too cute exist
my ink

Paintings gr8, 10 out of 10 would recommend
water colour paint is best paint tho
echo mesa
sobs I love art
Ive been practising poses, lighting/shadows
And seeing my art improve as a result is
so amazing ;-; so wholesome
mighty bronze
i know Jar!!!
omg
i just can't wait for the moment when i'll look at my old art after years and say...omg look how many things i was able to do!!!
echo mesa
We both gotta stay in this server forever
One day we'll all look back at art from this year and just
be amazed 😍
mighty bronze
godaaaamn
echo mesa
Even with a few months of practise, its amazing how things can change
mighty bronze
yes!
echo mesa
I owe a lot to this server tbh
It helped me be moar psotive and focus on improvement more
mighty bronze
me too my friend!
echo mesa
Doing Apollos art challenge ;D
Making character based on prompt
mighty bronze
looks really great so far!!

Thank ^-^ I just rly wanted a tea obsessed character lol

I hope to look back and see that kind of improvement too
mighty bronze

(@half sandal You leveled up to Farmer. You're now a prettier shade of blue. Thanks for sticking around!)

Different people improve at different rates, but you'll certainly see some change and improvement over time

Congrats 😄

lol we have a new farmer
echo mesa
My ultimate dream would be a cintiq
They seem amazing
half sandal
Yeah, there's a big difference in just messing around occasionally, messing around a lot, and practicing wisely a lot. I hope when I finally have a tablet I'll fall into the third category
Right now I'm in the first category :p
echo mesa
I just practise a lot tradtionally lol
I like it cause I can just carry a pencil and be able to draw anywhere
half sandal
A cintiq with a standing desk would be nice
mighty bronze
for me after 4 months there was no day where i didn't sketch at least one thing! lol
half sandal
Dunno why, but I don't like drawing with pencil
mighty bronze
mechanical pencil works so nice for me
echo mesa
I set a goal to finish my current sketchbook this month 😰
Yeah, I didnt like pencils at first either
So I'd sketch with pens lol
mighty bronze
i am almost done with my third sketchbook the next one will have 50 pages 😍
half sandal
nice!
echo mesa
Idk how many my current sketchbook has
Lots
😰
mighty bronze
lol
echo mesa
Next months goal is filling dis empty boi
mighty bronze
i buy like 2 or 3 sketchbooks occasionally,and they have like 30-50 pages
echo mesa
Fair enough, I'd buy sketchbooks daily if I could tbh
half sandal
I used up half of one(50 pages total) a year or two ago doing figure drawings
Then I realized "Hey, I can't afford to buy sketchbooks" and gave up 😄
echo mesa
Rip
I always keep an eye out for cheap sketchbooks
My sketchbook I ink in was $5
echo mesa
That sketchbook in the pic above was $10
Just gotta find the right stores
$2 stores r gud
half sandal
I think you underestimate the power of just how empty my bank account/wallet is 😄
echo mesa
I get u, mine has $0 90% of the time tbh
Even if you cant get em all the time, if you want them, its worth seeking out the cheap sketchbooks for when you do have that tiny bit of moola to spare
half sandal
Hopefully I'll have a bit of money soon. I'd still much prefer a tablet to carry around than a sketchpad, but we'll see. Might end up being like my PC. I saved up for two years to build my own, I just don't buy stuff for myself very often.
Maybe I should rummage through my neighbor's trash cans. I hear you can find diamonds.
echo mesa
lol, I wish trash cans were that good
half sandal
Speaking from experience?
echo mesa
No xD I have however been shamed in game for trash rummaging
I have a sketchbook with a drawing about that
somewhere
half sandal
Yeah, I haven't done it since that time Leah walked in on me from off-screen
never again
echo mesa
I did it in a multiplayer game rip
half sandal

Something really interesting that he does is overlay texture onto what he's working with to keep himself thinking about shapes and light instead of focusing on details
half sandal
Oh man
I was looking through some arts on my computer and found one of a girl laying on the grass and pointing up at the sky
I need to find money so I can pay one of you to draw Abigail doing that for my latest chapter

i don't know what to say about the eyes
i mean that red thing might be too much?
half sandal
As the color is right now, yeah. If it were more subtle it could work I think
Looks like the left(our left) pupil needs to come down slightly too?
half sandal
undo!
mighty bronze
i think is better to edit the right eye
waay better now
i think
anyway some more edits and it's great
thank you
