#

Ergh...Now, you might be wondering where her eyes are. Well, truth be told, I suck at eyes and couldn't get them to look good.

#

I'm gonna add in new ones tomorrow, I need them to have a good balance between "unassuming" and "menacing". Also the shoulders were a quick thing, pay no heed.

onyx island
#

Looking forward to seeing more progress!

#

I need advice for improving my drawing skills XD

lone mountain
#

gonna have to elaborate

mighty bronze
#

depends on what you want to focus

#

you are a beginner?

#

there are so many ways to start and improve drawing,like:sketching geometric shapes,build a character or deconstruct the body using them it's all about the basic shapes

#

you can also look for references get a sketchbook a pen and get to work right away!

#

portraits were also my fav thing to do

#

at least that's how i started

#

if i'm blabbling nonsense go look at Jazza's tutuorials,he explains them better lol

#

πŸ˜…

devout bridge
#

i didnt have time to draw after all πŸ˜” so im adding music to oc playlists cause im a loser who didnt do their homework

devout bridge
#

all my ocs get playlists

devout bridge
#

tfw you wanna draw something similar to an old piece and have to take it apart to relearn how u did it

mighty bronze
#

Magic?

#

It's because your style is changing

devout bridge
#

nah its just a style i dont usually use so im just squints how tf

mighty bronze
#

I guess

devout bridge
#

nah

#

i still draw my reg way, i just wanted to try something toonier and simple since i'm not comfortable drawing myself

My friend I'm talking to. Hnnn I'm about to eat their hands. They said I wish I could draw but I have no talent for it.

I REALLY dislike the idea that you have to have talent to be a artist. That's literally not how it works. It takes time and dedication to study to improve the skill you were born with.

Everyone can draw! Babies can draw! And you can improve that natural born inclination to create with hard work!

#

No one just fhhxguci can draw perfectly because talent! They studied! Why can't ppl acknowledge that?

hot river
#

That's one of the things I always liked about Bob Ross's show. He liked to say that anyone can paint. You just have to want to learn and practice.

fading hawk
#

I love that man

#

Everything he says is true as hell

safe goblet
#

yeah talent only gets you so far and most of the time what people call talent is just someone being encouraged to do something from a young age. it can also be detrimental to be "talented" because since all you ever hear is how good you are you might get an inflated ego and never improve. hard work, willingness to fail and accept mistakes, practice, and love for the craft ALWAYS trumps talent, im proof of that myself

fading hawk
#

And it REALLY dimishes all the hard work artist put into improving their skills when their creations is chalk up as natural born talent.

safe goblet
#

that too

fading hawk
#

I don't want to be called talented. I would rather someone compliment how I've improved or how hard I work on something.

#

Being called talented is good and all. I don't hate it entirely but it feels empty to me

safe goblet
#

with art people tend to look at age instead of amount of time put into focused practice too

fading hawk
#

Yeah they do

safe goblet
#

like omg ur 17 and so good????? but that person has drawn seriously for 4 years

fading hawk
#

Exactly. Talk about a shitty thing to say

#

Even singing requires some form of studying.

safe goblet
#

im 23 but ive only been drawing a year madman

fading hawk
#

As long as you're working hard and studying you're doing amazingly

safe goblet
#

im lazy af actually and never study LOL

#

but im fine with that i have other things to do as well

fading hawk
#

Sometimes arts just for fun and that's vaild

safe goblet
#

ofc

#

most people dont want to go pro or whatever

hot river
#

I dabble in a lot of different things that I'm ok at, but because it's just for fun and I don't sink in the hours, I'll never progress much farther. It's a matter of effort

#

yeah

fading hawk
#

It's okay not to want to go pro tbh. Ive been professionally selling my art work since the 9th grade and honestly. Going "pro" ruined my taste for art. It becomes a job and I hate jobs

safe goblet
#

i would hate to work in the art industry

fading hawk
#

It's competitive as fuck

#

And for me it's not satisfying

#

I could work 3 hours on a piece for a client and they're just like "oh cool, thx" and then we part ways

rich delta
#

I've found falling into mere hobby is more enjoyable for myself

fading hawk
#

I strive on feedback I need to know what you like and dislike

#

I enjoy art more as a hobby too tbh

#

But I gotta make money some how. I'm on disability but it doesn't quite cut it every month

rich delta
#

Understandable
Especially since I have some friends on disability and they have a hard time themselves
Though some make more than me a month GWfroggyBlobSweat

#

I digress tho
Art as a hobby I make money from is enjoyable

#

For those who do it fulltime, I applaud

unreal stream
#

Theres so much STUDY involved in making good art

#

Anatomy, clothing, poses, proper colouring, shading etc etc

#

Nobody is born and goes "yeah I know how to draw a human with near perfect anatomy"

#

Hell the only reason my art has improved at all has been due to learning and practice

safe goblet
#

same

#

and seeking out critiques and taking advice that demonstrably better artists gave me

empty ocean
#

interesting talk , i too seek a more balance between work and hobby for art , too much of anything may not be good, such as you need money or you need fun. As for talented , yes must say tasteless thing to say , the typical of people who don't actually do it and just go with " Talented " to decide that they can only do that because they have talent while what we are doing is just some normal drawing that almost everyone learning art can do , lol.

it grow bored overtime where praise has pretty little meaning to you while honest or harsh critique may be a lot more fun to listen to even tho it is , well harsh ( i know people who give real hurt critique but a lot more helpful than fooling around with nice talk )

safe goblet
#

yeah there's a balance you can definitely achieve with crit, i see many people just insulting people where it's really not necessary, just be blunt and tell them what to improve on

mighty bronze
#

No one was born with a sketchbook and a pen in their hands lmao

#

It takes time,patience,passion and lot of hard work to get the results you expect

fading hawk
#

If they were that would be concerning

Kankuro trying to flirt: "You sure have quite the nose. "

Lmao

echo mesa

he just needs to have someone equally awkward
or if its a girl, they need to be impossibly more awkward than him

fading hawk

Perfect

Ok back to art or well be grounded

if you have a passion for it there will sure be peoples to read them

Nah, people still read undetale fics lol
hugs my smol pile of fave undertale fanfics

but the community is now toxic

#

No point adding more toxic to it then

#

Well, I have this idea that's a mixture of a Chinese cliche and Stardew Valley

#

Lately, there's been a boom of people who got 'transported' to another world after they die, right?

It's something like that.

maybe draw some skulls and pumpkins?idk

fleet gazelle
#

And like what colour because black is bland?

mighty bronze
#

skulls are gray,pumpkins orange

fleet gazelle
#

And the main hat?

mighty bronze
#

brown was a better color tbh,for the hat

#

with the orange cat

open drift
#

Maybe have like a ribbon on the hat?

I'd use some purple to add highlights to the black hat

So I brought my rose drawing to a coffee bar to sell and apparently I have to get it approved by the owner before they'll hang it up SDVPufferPing

i didn't get the exposure line but i got the "we're making cookies at the event you can come eat there or something"

devout bridge
#

I get the exposure line and people telling me off for it not being dirt cheap 😭

unkempt tinsel
#

i've been on both sides but like, i do understand it too

#

for example like

#

american mcgee's alice is my favorite game Of All Time

#

Of. All. Time.

#

and i found out they have a website

#

their art prints are 50-100 dollars

#

and at first i was like

#

but then i was like

devout bridge
#

That's a good price tho

unkempt tinsel
#

ok this dude most likely paid so much money for this art

#

well i mean

#

art wise sure

#

but for me

#

anything above 10 dollars is a lot

#

no matter what it is

#

like for me buying something

devout bridge
#

Same but for a print that's really good

unkempt tinsel
#

i don't want things to be cheaper

devout bridge
#

Yeah yeah!

#

I just want more money so I can afford it lmao

unkempt tinsel
#

so initially i was like wewsquint but i figured it was fair in the end, so i still get how it feels

#

yeah for sure

devout bridge
#

But like people get proper mad

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah people feel like artists owe them for giving them attention and it's stupid

devout bridge
#

And like. Iiiiiiiii don't care? If you can't afford it that's not my problem. Come to me and we can work it out but I'm not giving you free art because you're broke, why do you think I'm selling art????

unkempt tinsel
#

the Circle of Broke

#

yeah i wish everyone could afford great art but alas

fair lark
#

i did a lil graphic design thing for a guy and i just asked for 5$ and he just never gave it to me ??

devout bridge
#

I sound so salty but at the end of the day art is a luxury and I can't be spending time feeling sorry for someone trying g to guilt me into not affording g food so

unkempt tinsel
#

it' a luxury in the end and people sell art in order to afford basic necessities

crisp saddle
#

I get the same line in my day job, it's not just art

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah definitely

#

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME HAT

#

also that really sucks horror wow

devout bridge
#

I only opened commissions to pay for school cause my professor is a butthair

frail adder
#

Yall when I'm at a point where when i can i want to commission all you lovelies and give u the amount of money u deserve

fair lark
#

he said he was gonna give it to my sister cause they were in classes together but he just didnt

unkempt tinsel
#

i'll def commish when i get to the point too

fair lark
#

same ^^

unkempt tinsel
#

wow that's garbage of that person

#

eveni f it was an accident that was still a professional exchange

frail adder
#

For those of u into traditional and live in bigger towns, check our ur local coffee shops!! They'll buy art off u and sell it

crisp saddle
#

Like people complain that $45 is too much for a haircut on a mini poodle but then they'll be in the salon cutting and dyeing their own hair for $80 easily

frail adder
#

I see local artists stuff in coffee shops alllll the time

fair lark
#

that is true

crisp saddle
#

And they're only getting the hair on their head done! I'm not gonna get into dog grooming details but we'll just say it's more than just head hair

unkempt tinsel
#

bless the work you do

#

making doggos happy

crisp saddle
#

Or like if I get someone that wants a more specialized cut, like Asian fusion for example, not everyone can do it. I'd be willing to bet most people in my area couldn't

#

And it takes way longer than an average shave down.... At least an hour and a half, just finishing. Not including the bath, blow drying, any dematting I'll probably have to do etc

#

Sorry for ranting I just get mad when people are cheap when it comes to my own lively hood lol

unkempt tinsel
#

no no it's ok

#

people underestimate the work artits do

#

*artists

fair lark
#

absolutely

unkempt tinsel
#

it sounds like you do a lot

#

and i think it's a lot more helpful, in many ways, than a hair cut for a human

crisp saddle
#

Theres a lot of icky stuff

#

It then dogs give me hugs and it's OK ❀

devout bridge
#

I'm offering ootd drawings like the one I did for me and I keep getting told it's too expensive but?? It's 40$ two figures. You're getting it 10$ less than how it should be priced.

unkempt tinsel
#

they licc face

devout bridge
#

😭 pay me so I don't fail professionalism. God

unkempt tinsel
#

that's pretty generous

#

yeah ignore da haters

devout bridge
#

Hhhh

crisp saddle
#

But even regular hairstylists also get shit because most people view it as an uneducated line of work when salon education is srs business

devout bridge
#

I'm on a time crunch too so it's just extra discouraging but I'll survive

fair lark
#

thats a really good price

devout bridge
#

I'm a big fish

fair lark
#

tbh

devout bridge
#

I figured 2 colour static figs that are just used to outfits should be less than an illustration proper

fair lark
#

i mean yea i think so

#

i havent ever been openly open for commissions so im shit at pricing my own work but like

crisp saddle
#

I have no idea how to price art

unkempt tinsel
#

i've tried to open commissions like 3 times but i end up buckling right before i open it

#

pricing art is the worst

fair lark
#

i did a logo commission for my friend and charged them $30 but like i prolly shouldve charged more considering how difficult she was to work w lol

devout bridge
#

I'm bad at pricing too but 25$ seems fair for a full coloured figure

#

I'm def undercharging but I'm screaming

crisp saddle
#

Always apply a PITA fee

lone mountain
#

my issue is actually doing them

#

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

crisp saddle
#

I've done it X)

devout bridge
#

Hehehe

crisp saddle
#

Though if it's a difficult dog we call it a handling fee. If it's the client then it's a pita fee

#

And that's only because the dog isn't a pain in the ass; they just have issues

devout bridge
#

Yeah

#

I groom honey cause I'm sure she'd be a trouble child

#

Luckily she just needs baths and nail clippings but idk what I'm gonna do if her butt needs squeezing

unkempt tinsel
#

me: what does pita stand for

#

me:

#

me:

#

me: ohhhhhhhh

fair lark
#

OMG SAME

#

I WAS CONFUSED

devout bridge
#

Haha

unkempt tinsel
#

i'm laughin

fair lark
#

i was like

devout bridge
#

I've thought about adding a pita charge but idk how I'd explain it if they asked

fair lark
#

the bread ?

unkempt tinsel
#

to explain pita charge you could say like, if you were told to make a lot of changes and took up muchc more of your time than usual or smth

crisp saddle
#

She's likely not gonna need her butt squeezed if you don't mess with it often. Bigger dogs are less susceptible to anal gland issues than small dogs

unkempt tinsel
#

without straight out saying, u were a pita fam

#

what causes those issues? i did not know squeezing butt was a thing you had to do

empty ocean
#

πŸ‘€

devout bridge
#

Nice okay. My small dog used to need it

crisp saddle
#

Yeah, dogs have a Sack by the bootyhole that collects liquid called anal glands. I think it's an old leftover evolution thing that has to do with marking territory

devout bridge
#

Her butts been pink once but I upped her fibre for the following days and it cleared itself out

devout bridge

That's why dogs scoot their bums on the floor

Also it smells hella bad

#

so i have finished a commission, and it came with a extra doodle that i decided to throw in

#

and i sent the extra doodle to the person, but i didn't do the drawing right

#

and before i could go make changes, my program crashed and my auto save feature in my program didn't save the icon

#

am i able to say no to redoing the extra doodle?

safe goblet
#

#

or submit the sketch......

fleet gazelle
#

For the rank just submit something it doesn’t have to be to good

safe goblet
#

mighty bronze
#

Oh no Callie that's some bad luck...but it's nice you did something extra besides the commission,i don't know,it's a pretty embarrassing situation,but maybe try doing the icon again UraThonk

#

I finished like 3 line arts,now comes the fun but hard part

devout stream
#

linearts will always be my personal bane of existence

fleet gazelle

upbeat quest
#

fleet gazelle
#

Like draw with 1 line?

upbeat quest
#

safe goblet
#

fleet gazelle
#

Post a thing you’ve done in #creative and be lucky?

upbeat quest
#

ohhh okay haha

unkempt tinsel
#

it has to be SDV related

safe goblet
#

lineart is like... cleaned up inklines or w/e yknow?

unkempt tinsel
#

the image also must be embedded and posted in #creative

safe goblet
#

like opposed to a sketch

unkempt tinsel
#

lastly it must be by you

upbeat quest
#

thank you jaded!

#

❀

unkempt tinsel
#

i tend to not pin WIPs if the person is gonna finish but sometimes i will if they won't work on it anymore

#

np np

mighty bronze
#

Line art is when you finish the sketch get a brush and try to refine the piece,magicaster,if that makes sense BakuThink

fleet gazelle
#

So just making it look neater?

safe goblet
#

yeah

mighty bronze
#

Look an example

safe goblet
#

lineart is the lines that stay in the final pic

mighty bronze
#

A neat one tho :>

unkempt tinsel
#

how do masks work

#

tutorials always have it but i still have no clue what it freakin is

waxen veldt
#

I made a new icon πŸ˜„

fleet gazelle
#

Nice

onyx island
#

Ohhh a birb

waxen veldt
#

a quetzal, actually

#

This icon is made especially for my pen name, which is Isha Quetzal

empty ocean
#

i remember got to taught about mask long ago

safe goblet
#

masks are like

empty ocean
#

but i never did use it and i forgot how

safe goblet
#

how to explain it....

empty ocean
#

tho it doesn't bug me either way

safe goblet
#

you know how your canvas is a square or rectangle?

#

using a mask limits where your brush makes marks to the mask

#

so you make a mask that is example the shape of the hair

#

then make a layer above it and have it connected to this mask

#

so you paint on it and it paints only that shape

empty ocean
#

you mean like clipping feature ?

mighty bronze
#

Clip layer!!

#

Yes

safe goblet
#

yea

#

same thing

unkempt tinsel
#

ohhh

#

i kinda have been doing that just i don't use gray in the beginning

safe goblet
unkempt tinsel
#

i guess i could do it cleaner though

safe goblet
#

i can scribble on top on a new layer

empty ocean
#

but clipping probably faster or so cause i forgot what to do next after click on create mask layer

safe goblet
empty ocean
safe goblet
#

treats red shape as mask thingo

empty ocean
#

remind me i should do 1 layer painting practice later

#

relay on clipping all the time ain't a good habit GWqlabsGarThink

safe goblet
#

🀷 whatever works for u

#

as long as it isnt tracing

brazen lark
#

i find it almost essential when youre doing character design for clients and need to be flexible with the colors you choose

#

that way its painless to adjust it u_u

waxen veldt
#

THe way I do colors is that I do what's essentially a flat color layer to mark more or less what color will go there. Then I duplicate it, and lock the transparent pixels

#

It serves as a mask that way.

#

And I can just go nuts with shading.

#

In the end, since each color on each thing is an individual layer, if I need to adjust, then it's easy and doesn't really do anything to the other colors.

safe goblet
#

i dont even have a proper colouring process bc i never try it catwao

empty ocean
#

i do trace stuff, mostly for study purpose, such as shape , position , proportion and stuff are a lot easier to breakdown

safe goblet
#

for studying it's fine

#

just tracing and claiming as ur own art yknow

empty ocean
#

it is funny that people still do that these days

safe goblet
#

ofc

#

usually pretty easy to tell for anyone who actually also draws tho laugh

empty ocean
#

usually i don't really care much unless it is straight out stealing , they won't get any better tracing all the time or so, they could have their fake praise meanwhile

safe goblet
#

the ones that are really arrogant annoy me a lot

#

when they arent even drawing

#

just stealing

empty ocean
#

lol i have caught about 4 - 6 art thief up until now

#

πŸ˜‚

mighty bronze
#

i only saw your sketches so far bt they are really good

onyx island
#

hehe don't put yourself down, you're amazing

empty ocean
#

yea i am forever sketching

my sketches 70% of the time look better than my end result SDVPuffercry

#

going to art class next year so don't think i will have time to doodle

safe goblet
#

oo nice

#

doodle will be ur hw tho

#

what school are you going to?

#

\

empty ocean
#

Concept art class

#

so a lot of homework expected

safe goblet
#

yea yea

empty ocean
#

well it is just a small class

#

not a school

#

but the teacher is a real pro

safe goblet
#

that's good then catwao

empty ocean
#

maybe i should focus on study human/char

#

before next year

safe goblet
#

depends what u want to do i guess 🀷

#

if its a weak point tho yea

empty ocean
#

i am a bit all rounder

safe goblet
#

good for concept artist

empty ocean
#

tho maybe my strong point is perspective

#

and machinery drawing

safe goblet
#

perspective is the best to have a strong point in

#

i suck at it

empty ocean
#

it is not hard to learn the basic , just a bit complex for most beginner to actually see it

safe goblet
#

i cant think in 3d tfw

#

my tiny cat brain cannot comprehend properly derp

empty ocean
#

best way to practice perspective is freehand drawing while looking at ref

#

draw a box actually

#

πŸ˜‚

safe goblet
#

ya i spam boxes but brain doesnt work for anything else hohohohohohohoho

#

when idk what to draw i doodle boxes

empty ocean
safe goblet
#

tight πŸ‘€

empty ocean
#

drawing perspective with no ruler is hard

safe goblet
#

yea

#

but u learn more

#

if u measure aftre to see where messed up

empty ocean
#

well usually you have to try keep your line straight as well

#

that is one thing i have to practice everyday

#

probably has drawn around 15000+ straight line for 2 months now

#

lol

safe goblet
#

so much mileage 😌

empty ocean
#

well it is not really worth saying that much , you just do around 100 per day

#

the one thing i am too lazy to practice is texture drawing

#

πŸ˜‚

safe goblet
#

it's a pain in the butt

empty ocean
#

hope i will be able to draw a lot more next year , this year i don't think i have draw many

So I see these here farmer character sheets and I wanna draw one, is there a sort of template for it?

#

Like how do they go?

echo mesa
#

there is a template on dA? Idk if it's quite what you mean tho, I'll grab a link

open drift
#

oops i sent smtn too soon

#

i dont use a template, i just list stuff i think is relevant

name, farm name, spouse, friends, birthday, best gifts, etc

i downloaded the sdv font to type that stuff with

hexed rapids
#

Sexuality

#

Hmm

mighty bronze
#

I think it's about your farmer orientation? 02shrug

onyx island
#

That's one of the fields I'd fill with "Penny" for my farmer

hexed rapids
#

Uhh

#

I really haven’t thought of that for my farmer.

onyx island
#

I should make one of those soon. I probably won't use that template, or any template to be honest heh

hexed rapids
#

Element?

#

What is that supposed to mean?

onyx island
#

probably related to the zodiac sign

hexed rapids
#

Bleh

#

That’s like unnecessary detail

#

You’d do that fo’ an OC, not your farmer

onyx island
#

You don't really need to fill all of them

#

it's a template, not a form

hexed rapids
#

I’d rather draw my own

onyx island
#

Yep yep, I had the same idea too

echo mesa
#

shrugs its not as if using templates made by others is a requirement
They can be useful for ideas/inspiration tho

#

Oh nice!

mighty bronze
#

yeah somehow is about how you want to color your character

#

like use warm or cool colors

storm meadow
#

the direction of light is important

empty ocean
#

you can use both

storm meadow
#

what is your light source and where is the focus of your piece

lone mountain
#

yeah theres a lot of different ways to shade

mighty bronze
#

yes

lone mountain
storm meadow
#

oh yes
you can see the complementary in the shadow too

mighty bronze
#

i see PandaAdmire

storm meadow
#

not sure how to explain it for digital painting tho

empty ocean
#

you should be worry about value first before color πŸ‘€

lone mountain
#

yeah idk how to explain shit at all

#

LOL

storm meadow
#

I just mix whatever color I feel like I need on the piece
I struggled so much in theory classes

anyway, back to the art talk

mighty bronze
#

but now let's honest about it

#

i mean

storm meadow
#

hmm?

mighty bronze
#

in 10 years i will have way more knowledge about anything that implies drawing

#

or even faster

#

but i need the motivation

echo mesa
#

Isnt that the motivation?
"If I keep at this, in 10 years I can look back and see the vast improvement" ?

storm meadow
#

^^^

mighty bronze
#

yes

#

did i said that???

echo mesa
#

Idk man, I've always been more on Holly Brown's idea of things
Improvements important, but you need to learn to draw without having motivation or inspiration to draw

storm meadow
#

I regret leaving my old works behind when I left college
It'd be nice to be able to look back and see how far you have become

And no, you didn't say that quote
