I have a bunch of pencils but I only use a specific one for drawing even though it's functionally identical to the rest

Is it hard to keep doing both traditional and digital art??i mean i am still an amateur experimenting things but i don't fell like i should focus on a single one 
rich delta
Imo it's not hard, because what I learn in one medium I can apply to another, I've seen.
onyx island
I used to do traditional before doing digital, but I don't see why would you abandon one to favor the other, it's nice to keep practicing nothing !
Autocorrect pls
mighty bronze
Ikr!!
onyx island
Meant both, not nothing haha
sullen drum
Kek
mighty bronze
Lol
sullen drum
I'd say keep practicing both
rich delta
sullen drum
I have a friend who stopped doing traditional, in favor of doing more digital, and now she's wanting to go back to traditional, but has some trouble with it, so yeah, it's better to practice both of them
mighty bronze
devout bridge
^ i have that problem. my sketchbook doesnt get as much love as it used to cause digital was too seductive lmao
mighty bronze
Lol i see
devout bridge
i have a few traditional pieces i wanna do tho cause nothings more satisfying than getting really bold colours with markers and coloured pencils
๐ and a lot of people are bound to do inktober, so you could always join that wave
mighty bronze
I see but still i am not prepared at all lol
devout bridge
all you need is a pen and paper
mighty bronze
I knooow but i think i'll focus on anatomy,at least for an half year or so
And yes i am aware that practice never ends
sullen drum
AH I FOUND IT
Ok I'm safe now, later I'll go re-draw my first 4 OCs
And probably cry while doing so bc they're my children

I want to start a comic but I have no idea how to make panels
rocky lark
I'm in love
brazen lark
boxes! and lines! polygons!
frail adder
KYLE I WOULD DIE FOR UR SEB
slate yoke
I don't know her
brazen lark
thanks!
also i Love having characters break thru the panel so it just looks like this when u hide everything https://puu.sh/BBse5/bc7bd36b1e.png
(and same thing with the last wip)
slate yoke
What program are you making such valid panels in
brazen lark
clip studio paint!
slate yoke
Oh of course it's the one that costs money
brazen lark
its the same thing with any program that has the polygon tool
figure tool?
whatever its called
i know there are definitely free programs out there that have the same features
brazen lark
i used to make comics with sai but it unfortunately does not have those options (not sure about sai 2 but thats not out yet i think), so i had to either to it by hand or find a work around
slate yoke
do it by hand
These monkey paws cannot create
rocky lark
I'm so jelly of you artists
brazen lark
also i think krita is a good free art program that has features like these??
fdkjghdf yeah, do it by hand i mean like, holding shift while using the brush tool and clicking to make a straight line
still massively annoying
slate yoke
I tried to use GIMP and a tutorial but even following exactly I made a nightmare lol
brazen lark
the work around was using the marquee tool (rectangle), filling it in, and then selecting a smaller rectangle within that and erasing
(also annoying)

i made like a backstory for my farmer where
her parents are actually the co-CEOs of Joja
frail adder
Oof
lament turtle
and shes their only kid whos like. super into nature and lowkey a hippie
slate yoke
I'm not good at drawing non traditionally appealing people tbh
lament turtle
and she was just too against what joja does so she forfeited her inheritance and moved to her grandpas old farm and the rest is history
slate yoke
that's a fun plot hook! I haven't rly heard much of that approach before

shes still kinda naive considering she was kinda priviledged economically but shes Learning

Problem with this sketch is that I failed to draw Alexian sufficiently bulky and it is a shame
And believe it or not bulky dark haired dude with a cleft chin with Alex in his name was not inspired by stardew valley, I came up with the character in high school like 8 years ago
It's just a wild coincidence

@hexed rapids You should draw Dana!

@mighty bronze I'm too cheap to pay for anything so right now I'm using Krita's free animation tool, it's actually pretty similar to what I've seen from adobe and seems to be working pretty well so far :) !

I see,good luck doing it!!looking forward to see the animation 
upper dune
thanks โค ! me too aha
mighty bronze
need to do something like this too
can someone explain what is with the whole Bowsette thing pls?
slate yoke
tl;dr someone made a comic where Bowser and Mario were rejected by Peach, so Bowser used a new crown item to turn into a Peach lookalike to hook up with Mario
Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe added a new crown item that turns Toadette into a Peach lookalike

today i am so happy!!!this is how i want to start all mornings because i feel full of motivation and the inspiration flow through my veins,such a nice feeling 
empty ocean
i don't even know what to prepare but i will just do it anyway ๐
since i have been drawing with pen only on paper so it doesn't make any different much to me
echo mesa
I bought a bunch of ink today to prepare for inktober lol
So hype to finally do one, never done one either high fives Blacky
echo mesa
Its fun, ink has become my fave thing to use lol
Only started using it this month
empty ocean
sound nice
maybe i will try to buy one next week
i only started paper months ago
was often don't like it because i keep getting paper dirty
until i just go straight with pen
๐
echo mesa
Lol, my current drawing
is def vry messy
Traditional art is vry easy to be messy with
empty ocean
i learned draw loose but in control
so i think it is fine to draw them look messy
as long you keep it in control
echo mesa
Control? I dont know her
Control might work for some, but I'm def a 'lemme slam paint down' type of artist lol
echo mesa
Is that your art? looks nice
empty ocean
yea it is my
i do weak line weight sketch
then go thicker one later
i don't like using pencil in that regard for some reason
lol
echo mesa
And thats with pen? I bet you'd do awesomely with ink
I use colour pencil lol, less smudgy/annoying
echo mesa
I used to be decent at pencil shading
. . . and then I stuck to digital art for quite a while and kinda forgot pencil
empty ocean
i went digital first so
tho i have another reason to go straight with pen is that i to stop myself from sketch too fast and out of control
the best practice you may want to do is draw with no erasing or undo
lament turtle
oh yeah i do a lot of sketching in pen too (usually ballpoint)
its smthn i started doing bc it helps u think more critically abt how ur going to draw smthn since u reflexively dont want to make mistakes. good exercise
echo mesa
I dont erase because Im lazy and lose all my erasers and dont wanna look for them
I was gonna finish this today
. . .Think I'll finish it tomorrow instead tho

10/10 would support chicken art
mighty bronze
i don't know what to say about my hand holding the pen,what do you think?
upper dune
I think that for the position he's in it's a pretty good hand
but it looks like we're seeing a side view of the finger when we should be seeing the top
upper dune
I mean by making the curves more prominent it makes it look like the grooves of an open palm rather than the top of a hand? Not sure if that makes sense but.
Also, near the bottom where the index goes around the pen, I feel like it should be shorter so it better looks like he's gripping it
I'm sorry if that doesn't really make sense? oof, I'm not the best at explaining things
mighty bronze
it's ok,i'll manage to change it,thank you
upper dune
I'm sorry rip :")
mighty bronze
lol,no it's ok for real
granite stratus
i need help, is his head too big
i want to color this but i dont want to start if i'll end up changing his head size afterwards
onyx island
it looks fine to me
you have to keep in mind that the facial hair also contribute to the overall size of the head so perhaps that's what you're seeing
A normal sized head with extra facial hair ๐
hot river
I like it megatoron! Looks good!
granite stratus
thats what i was thinking too, since i could swear the head looked fine before i added the beard and whatnot.
also thanks :^D

it is a perfect sketch catto tbh

What are you aiming for with the design?

looks great so far smookie!
mighty bronze
i mean the panels where i write the things i like/i don't
ugh
and the text
thank you catto

Maybe make each panel look like a caricatured cloud?

yeah what makco said sounds like a great idea
onyx island
like how thoughts are depicted in comics

np!

what the hell!! it's 4 pm and i didn't finished the basic shadows yet!!!
empty ocean
Don't worry about the time , spend as much time as you need to do something better and get good result instead of a result you may feel bad , just some advice that i learn from pros
๐
empty ocean
same
sometime it take me a day to draw a single thing
but it look okay instead of crappy result i do in an hour
mighty bronze
sure thing!
mighty bronze
how are the shadows so far?
serene radish
looks great!
mighty bronze
granite stratus
looking all kinds of neat! :^O id recommend you try using some other color than black to shade, but it looks totally fine as it is
mighty bronze
sure the basic shade was made color picking the base colors and darkening them a little,the black is cast shadow,hope i got it right lol
thank you!!
the late effects will change the entire piece
granite stratus
๐ ๐ ๐
mighty bronze
can't wait to try something new and hide the lines
empty ocean
you mean painting like ?
hexed bramble
a tip is to go cooler colors instead of just darkening them a little !!
for example:
if this is the original color
you can go this direction with the shading
empty ocean
hue shift
mighty bronze
ik,always playing with them when i do shade and light ๐
empty ocean
typical of color harmony like
the best way to learn color is do life painting and study the scene or some of the master painting artist
tho often it is value you should be start with first
hexed bramble
heres a ball
and yes, i sometimes steal colors from real pics to get a sense of how they differ
mighty bronze
i used the colors from the commission Jev made for me 
he picked them nice
from this one
hexed bramble
oo thats good too,
empty ocean
i haven't touch color much for long , just doing drawing to solid my drawing skill
hexed bramble
i understand that, i tend to focus on a specific aspect
mighty bronze
i notice how he keep the shadows so simple and they look nice
hexed bramble
i realized i was terrible at fullbody drawings so i drew nothing but fullbody drawings
you can see how he uses some purple in the shading of the jeans and hoodie
and the neck is more pink
hexed bramble
ooo and the eyesยจ
mighty bronze
anyway what i do now is experimenting lol,doing a full body drawing of myself after only 4 months is huge for me lol
4 months of drawing*
empty ocean
i take drawing as core foundation , if one can draw/sketch well they can get painting and stuff much faster
also because it is much faster to sketch , i can learn a bunch of stuff faster than color everything single drawing
๐
hexed bramble
makes sense! but you can learn a lot about coloring techniques as well!
simple coloring is also an option, but i guess simple black and white coloring could do a lot as well
empty ocean
i haven't start mainly into painting yet but i learn theory much and at least can do decent i suppose
pretty much this would be the level of my color in anime aspect on my own without ref
hexed bramble
i get it, i bet that took time, even if it does look incredible
hexed bramble
well compared to sketching
thats a lot of time
im in the mood to play something, so imma hop off and do that : ')
empty ocean
i draw slow by natural since the beginning , but i don't worry about it much , just draw it is all that matter

My kids' great grandma just sent them each a colored pencil/watercolor set
I need to learn how to use, what's the word, traditional media so I can help them
devout bridge
oh watercolours loads of fun! but you should look into getting some thicker paper for them to use. it'll bleed right through regular stuff
watercolour pads get expensive, but if theyre small you can probably get away with thicker drawing paper like bristol
half sandal
I won't spend money on pads for myself, but for them, definitely
I'll see if we have anything local. If not, amazon!
devout bridge
ive used bristol drawing pads for inkwashes and they hold up pretty well! i'd go for that over watercolour paper since it gets really expensive really quickly. any general art store should have it
echo mesa
I use prtty cheap sketchbooks and they seem to hold up against watercolour and ink well enough shrugs in Italian

its gonna bleed

my sketchbooks always bled when i got too paint happy blobsweat
speaking of watercolours. guess whos buying moreeeeeeee

rn i have pretty ones i refill at school but i found some cheap ones to dick around withhhhh
just for loose drawings so i dont feel bad about wasting other stuff

One a scale, I luv cake most, then pencils, then tube
devout bridge
i like oils, tube water colour, bottles, acrylic ink, ink.
coloured pencils are in there somewhere, but less as colouring tools and more for slamming stuff out

i use many green

Ohhh I get it, that happens to me a lot ๐
devout bridge
weh
tribal wadi
@analog fjord Viria's Nico makes me have mixed emotions
because it's really good, but I can't do that
analog fjord
SAME kinda
Like "man I wanna draw like her but it would take me a while to get there"
tribal wadi
I'm like "protect this boy he's too precious"
and also
"I wish I could draw like that"
analog fjord
Minuiko's and Elentori's Nico fanart is also amazing
tribal wadi
I think of it this way
my art style is so cartoony, it's nice to be able to see others who have more realistic styles
because if I think of it like "I can't do that" I'll forget what I can do
which is squishy round beans
analog fjord
agreed
tribal wadi
and it's not that I can't do realistic art
I'm just lazy
I've done realistic art before, but my hand cramps so violently afterwards that it's not worth it
analog fjord
I think, instead of feeling intimidated by good artists/writers, we could view them as a source of inspiration
tribal wadi
that's a good idea
analog fjord
which is why I flood my insta by following good artists
tribal wadi
because if I ever write PJATO fanfic again I need to stop getting discouraged by how good everyone is
analog fjord
yeap
if you have a story to write, just write it
and you'll have contributed either ways!
tribal wadi
I wonder why I don't draw pointy noses anymore?
I used to, but it occurs to me that I don't really do it anymore
analog fjord
style change maybe?
tribal wadi
the ability probably isn't gone, so I just need to find excuses to draw noses more?
I mean, my own nose isn't really pointy
analog fjord
draw many pinocchios
tribal wadi
so I'm just more likely to draw rounder noses I guess
analog fjord
Noses are funnily enough tricky to draw for me
must be the face placement I s'pose
(gtg, see ya round!)
tribal wadi
have a good night/day!
devout bridge
im still stuck on posing lmao
cause i want it to reflect some personality and not be totally static but i also cant do anything to fluid cause its for refs/planning
horrible
sullen drum
I'm done with the sketch!!

mighty bronze
sullen drum
Yeah yeah
She used to have very long hair when I created her, and constantly changed that, she's probably now the OC with most hairstyle changes sitting at 6 so far
So what I went for is to make her hair quite long but wanted more than just straight hair
mighty bronze
Nooice
sullen drum
Thanks, I'm glad it somehow worked out!!
mighty bronze
It sure did buddy,the details are ๐ฏ
Waiting to see the entire piece 
Finished*
sullen drum
Awwww I'll lineart and finish up all details tomorrow!! So I hope you'll like it ๐
Even though seeing my first 4 OCs with a big change after 2 years already makes me very happy
mighty bronze
I am proud you found such an amazing style that makes you happy 
sullen drum

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

sullen drum
Yaaay!! Was hoping for be a little darker blue now ๐
And btw, I'm so happy to have found a style after all this time, it does make me very happy
sullen drum
I sure will!! I really hope you find your style Smookie!!

Gavin and Andy were originally minecraft skins I made ๐

Animation tends to indicate motion
Its just a render made with mineimator
Mineimator can do animation tho
Some of the members on the forums can do rly amazing stuff with it
echo mesa
Kinda? I've never really used blender
Mineimator is minecraft only, and easier to use from what I've heard
fleet gazelle
yea definitely looks easier
echo mesa
The creator of Mineimator was planning on making their own non-minecraft animation program
But I havent been in that community in years
fleet gazelle
i only used blender for a yt intro
echo mesa
so shrugs in Italian
fleet gazelle
which i just use a template
echo mesa
youtube intro? I randomly start blabbing about nothing and hope people catch up eventually
fleet gazelle
cause with it you need to set like a camera thing and also a source of light
as blender
echo mesa
In mineimator you set a camera and a source of light also 
But as I said, havent used blender
Havent rly used mineimator in
maybe two years either
devout bridge
echo mesa
;o
devout bridge

@open drift i like the light sepia tone (the last one you posted) the most too
mighty bronze
Feb forgot how to draw??stop lying
rocky lark
ok question on the rules. Are we allowed to post a fic that is going to be NSFW at some point but isn't at that point?
devout bridge
no idea, but im lovin that watching old movies counts as reference hunting rn
also i dont kno whow to feel about one of the willie bros being called gil willie
rocky lark
I mean everything is reference hunting when u don't know what you want to work on next
I found a really cute list of like 75 kiss prompts and wanted to slowly work through them
lament turtle
I don't think sharing a fic with any explicit nsfw content in any part would be a very good idea dsdlgkjljkgds
rocky lark
if u want i can message u the link!
mighty bronze
Why not!
brazen lark
Last night I finished the thumbnails for the sdv comic, including the cover, it's 15 pages!! V nice and even ๐ค๐ช๐ช๐ช
And ive been working on lineart at the same time so I'm abt 10/15 done with that >:D
devout bridge
It's references cause I'm in a collab for the side kicks to the big bad!
And I've never drawn these guys before lmao
fading hawk
unkempt tinsel
@rocky lark preferably i wouldn't post it. if something is standalone it's fine, like if you want to post a scene, but if you want to post something that will lead to nsfw material, it's probably better not to
rocky lark
Ty! I donโt have anything I wanted to post rn, was just curious about it
unkempt tinsel
it's all good yo
if you're confused about somethin feel free to let me know
also that looks great so far neil
i've been loving your art a lot
lament turtle
oh!!! i'm glad to hear you like it :D !!
i'll be sure to make some actual sdv related content at some point heheh i've been meaning to for a while
unkempt tinsel
do whatever u feel is good yo, i'd love to see some sdv art from you but i love the characters you've been drawing also
the details on the dress are really nice
sullen drum
I have no lights, so I won't be able to do much line-art or details sadly
It's getting dark so I'll just post this and stop for now

I asked and got permission but, I want to either learn how, or find someone with the ability to do sprite art, like pixel art, it's fairly simple but it's more...a sprite sheet kind of thing and I'm new to that stuff.

devout bridge

mighty bronze
Ah i see

lament turtle
Sweet
mighty bronze
Just the fingers,arms are great!
lament turtle
I cannot draw well, im more of a writer and coloring, shading artist lol. Thrive more in writing though ^-^
devout bridge
those arent even my lines lmao im not pressed about how they look
lament turtle
And yess!! For arms and the hands, they look nice. Normally I hear hands are the hardest to draw realistically
devout bridge
nice ruth :0
lament turtle
Yee
lament turtle
Chest looks good too, seems like you added pecks and made it stick out more then the stomach
mighty bronze
You never know how it is until you try it,it was the first thing that crossed my mind when i saw a drawing course add on youtube bought it right away and today i just can't stop,seeing other how much they improved fill me with motivation to do better every day
lament turtle
Yess!!!
That's me with writing, I used to write short stories when I was little about cartoons I watched , then it just went on and I improved so much. That and I roleplayed a lot
mighty bronze
Haha nice
lament turtle
So I know how to set up a character plot, background, story plots etc
Hehe, it's fun being a writer. Get to create your own little world
echo mesa
slams fists on table Im late but Im
so! gosh! darn! hype! for! Inktober!
echo mesa
This year I'm just doing black ink, but next year I wanna get purple or blue ink to use as well ๐
devout bridge
this is just a messy sketch rn lmao. hopefully they look better than this when im done ๐ฐ
mighty bronze
That sounds neat
echo mesa
I'm sorta going based on whats availible at the art store I go to
I know there's windsor and newton at least?
devout bridge
oh those are good
im not a huge fan of their inks, but thats a me thing. :Y
..i like muddier colours lmao
gotta paint in swamp green sometimes, u know?
echo mesa
Muddier colours are nice
I like anything thats
nature-y
Gimme all da greens and browns plz
devout bridge
hell yeah
echo mesa
Since getting into drawing backgrounds I seem to mostly do forests lol
devout bridge
yee
i did the opposite when i started learning backgrounds though, i went through a major beach/ocean phase
find a part of that that u really like and dive right into it. i spent like 6 months obsessively painting seafoam patterns because water pissed me tf off
echo mesa
lol, beaches are nice to look at at least
devout bridge
lmao
we went to a gallery and someone painted photorealistic water and me and this one girl were furious and started painting it ourselves
i still hate water
mighty bronze
I just realised that all my digital work was in this month,which is the one i started doing it 
echo mesa
I tend to paint water in a nonsense kinda way
Like, does real water alternate so quickly between shallow and deep? probs not but it look nice
devout bridge
use ur traditional work for the year in review thing? :0 its still art, you worke don it
echo mesa
I luv year in review things
