Me like
sketched the details quick now i am wondering what can i do more and if it looks good enough
the sketch
the background is pretty simple 
but again i know that every piece needs a focal point,more details would kill the piece
still using references
but thank you!!!
(yes yes using references isn't wrong at all) i know
Reference!
Nothing's wrong with them!

Hush, itβs surreal art
uyyy drawing dynamic poses is hard but i gotta improve somehow
@mighty bronze so cute!
Writing a story, need a prompt
@brave oasis what kind of tone, fun, sad, serious, etc
maybe one of these 3? rough lines aside
I like the purple shorts
(@unborn drift You leveled up to Villager! You can now join voice chat and all public channels. See #445729591533764620 for more info. Keep up the good work!)
But that's my biased opinion because I love purple lol
heh thanks !
oh damn i did the 4 post thing again
wait no its 3 its ok
2 other variations...
very undecided
oh sorry i didnt realize you were replying to the other question LMAO
hmm fanfics are always good exercises
you already have characters to work with
I'm currently writing it on a Google Doc
I can post the link here, if that's allowed by the mods
To your writing? You can, Floppo
Alrightie
Is there any way to put it into a view-only mode for other people?
(I don't want any people vandalizing it - or maybe a suggestions mode?)
from inside google docs you can tell it to web publish, and you'll get a url that directs to just an html page with the text so people can see it
the brown shorts look nice
oop chat jump :^(
actually, hit "share" top right, then click the pencil icon and select can view only, then hit "get shareable link"
sweet
First, second, or third perspective?
third @brave oasis
Okie
I like the brown shorts most, too. But I always prefer neutral, natural colors.
π

I am wondering where you post the comic Kyle 
i'll be posting it on tumblr!
my goal is to finish it before this month ends and im very very close
as of rn i have abt 3 pages left
omg i cant wait
hehe well i have my username in my discord nickname for an easy search
Oh
Ah yes i was following you,wew i should use tumblr more
Idk if I'll be able to finish Leah's gift in time today tho...
I make the ugliest comic thumbs
stop being harsh on yourself smhhh
im not though
cause i like throwing down ugly thumbnails
ugly isn't inherently a bad thing my guy
Gotchu
yall out here draw cute girls
I like the idea of a devil angel - our best works are often sleep-deprived works.
Oh she isn't devil at all
Lol
I have to do a better job with my baby's wings
Still didn't digitalized this one ^
But that's how she looks like
Oh I've got smth akin to a bad angel. I just haven't worked on them in 500 years
https://puu.sh/C1T3M/f04877fe5a.png siddel u dumb POS
I also finished Alexia and her boyfriend stories but still didn't updated on toyhouse...
Ooo
Head wings lmao
Seraphim are the best
Interesting 
I might reline it cause I was mad about it a few months ago
Wow but why?
Didn't like them
Oof i don't know him but i see
??
They're my dnd character
I don't know whose idea it was to re-write the 12 Days of Christmas but man am I having fun with this
2nd Christmas boyo
I thought those were flames and not a rose, Iβm stupid >_<;
my recent drawing, doin a commission for someone
theres an oc meme on twitter and i was wondering how interested people would be in doin a baby version here? :0 its a little dress up thing
Did you forgot how popular was the bongo cat feb?? Bring it on!!
Like any other base sketches where you draw yourself on
I hope that's what you mean 
sort of
its a dress up oc thing, so you post a base of ur oc and then people draw outfits on top of them
gotta keep ur base sfw though so swimsuit rules for sure :Y
bongo cat was so popular I had a bong cat alucard pfp


But y/n on the thing? :0
With those clown vibes I kinda wanna dress relle up as hisoka from hunter x hunter
Hereβs he
asdgas hisoka
hehe
question for mods ?? can i post art that is figure drawings ?? like non-sexual nude drawings ??
I'm pretty sure nothing nsfw
but would an artistic nude study be considered nsfw ? π€
most likely
explain to your boss walking behind your computer it's artistic nudes 
Then again it's my own interpretation of the posting rules, you can DM @weak matrix to have an official answer
we'll have to talk about it
i personally see nothing wrong with artistic nudes but at the same time boobs and vag is still some degree of nsfw
and dingdong
no female presenting nipples
there are most likely just better places to post it
fnksdknsd
you can post your artistic nudity on tumblr
as long as they are not presenting anything
god forbid the presentations
i agree, there is nothing wrong with artistic nudes but i think for this server it's probably safe to not post imo
no skin allowed π
we've had people post artistic nudes here before BUT they never drew nipnops or anything
they were just figure drawings
so i mean, those are fine
but if you wanna do all detail i'll have to talk about it with staf
semi related, but if i do the oc dress up meme prompt is it cool to post the base here? :0 theyd be in underwear at the absolute least so people could draw over it.
..theyre also a mushroom so i mean.
as far as i know they dont have nipnops lmao
yeah that's completely fine
i mean like, drawing characters in underwear is totally ok
nice okay
even if they're thicc or whatever, completely fine
as long as it is not sexualized
i.e. a guy has a big bulge in tight underwear
i figured it might be okay since they cover the same stuff as swimsuits, but wanted to double check lmao
we've had a problem with that before like
sexy is totally fine but sometimes people wanted to take it too far
then they'd get mad at us

yeah! it'scompletely ok to post that
no banana hammocks. got it π ππ½ ππ½
would i be able to dm you or any other mods the art to see if its ok ?? if not thats totally fine !!
yeah you're more than welcome to do that
for artistic nudes as a whole though i'll just have to talk with staff and we'll come with a consensus
thanks for bringing it to our attention
ok cool thank you !!
you can also DM bouncer if you don't wanna dm a specific person
okay so we talked about it
just so everyone knows here are our personal rules about artistic nudity
- naked figures are okay as long as there are no details, i.e. ken dolls or barbie dolls
- naked poses okay as long as they are not sexualized
- butts are totally okay as long as it's not sexualized
- you can have on underwear if you want but other rules apply
oooo thank u for clarifying
omg no big butts allowed mutes creative channels
fsjdnfdksj
π
y'all're gonna see relle in underwear for this meme im soz
i cant wait feeb

i wanna finish up the one im doing for someone on twitter tho :0
the octopus kigu i wanted sold out so im living vicariously through him lmao
https://puu.sh/CmiRJ/c7fca7f425.png this is so dumb π
oc isnt mine, he belongs to kinomatika on twitter :0
Will scan all of them later and post them here
Awwww catto!! Thank you so much!!
So I saw the post about how Barbie bodies are okay. I dunno who to make who yet boo theyβre all creepy doll bodies but wip for Christmas thingy~
i love the poses!
god i wish i could draw like that lol
Thank you~~
help me make poses that look good. i am trash.
@safe sequoia
quickposes.com has some nice timed practice for poses π
also dancers make nice references for poses 
if you're okay with nude models check out croquiscafe on yt
Hereβs a really fast doodle I did. My process usually involves sketching out the structure of the body that I wnat and then crazily sketching it in and just reworking the sketches until I feel I have a good outline. Then I go in with an inking pen on another layer and do the outline that you saw in my wip
@lament turtle I really liked your pose so I drew an Abby out of it
whoaaa she is so gorgeous!!
@safe sequoia bITCHCH I WAS DRAWING ABI WITH THAT POSE YOU REad my MIND.
@lament turtle yyyyeeesss πππ her outfit and hair are so elegant it matched the pose perfectly
i cry
iβm planning on drawing each of the bachelorettes in a dif pose with monsters
@safe sequoia
i use poses i find online because it helps me get a base and then i usually adapt it to what i need for the drawing ~
Hailey's pose is super cute 
Penny's pose too, and so fitting π
Ohh yes i had a similar pose in mind for Leah
Omg Iβm so excited to see it! @lament turtle
I know! Iβm so excited
@safe sequoia least i know I'm not the only one to use autodesk sketchbook
sneaky peek at my winter star entry
i just wanna bring a reminder on one of our guidelines for both creative channels
even if you're joking it's good to not trash talk your own work/skill since this can bring a discouraging environment and we'd much rather build each other up than tear each other down
wanting constructive crit or criticizing your work is one thing but it's another to constantly call your art garbage
i've just been noticing this a little for the past few days and thought it would be good to bring up again
https://puu.sh/CmqCj/58e246923d.png im loosining the sketch up but?? maybe better now??? they were bugging me before
i just wanna have smth good for my december square π©
everything you put will be good
i mean, thanks, but opinions on it?? should i loosen up more or rework anything
i wanna do relles fight intro lmao that was babbus first big relle art that i put off forever
i am not so good to give a constructive critique but i might think you can do a better job with his left leg and make it step behind...i don't know how to explain it
like putting more effort on it
but this is just my opinion 
and i hope you got what i mean π
and his back/chest would be more relaxed
I think their chest is part of character design
Oh shoot my apologies Feeb
it was for me lol
ur good ππ½
but 
I always love your take on character expressions. I think you could go even farther with this one
^
and them teeth π
Best of luck Feeb! I look forward to seeing your full 2018 squares 
haha thanks
i made a woodgrain texture for a thing a while ago and ive just been tweaking it to suit my needs since >:3c
Oh wow great job Feeb
https://puu.sh/CmrfD/279fa1d626.png also comparing month old expressions to december ones is fun cause one of these was drawn way earlier than the other
Youβre really really good at this. The old one already looks good but then you got this huge jump
I really want to see all your works throughout the year put together now
Do you make some animated works, Feeb? I mean the expressions are already animated but itβd be very nice to see them hoping and yelling in motion
ive got all the months filled out save for december :0 i can put that in here for now
and nooo i wish. i wanna play with the animation tools on csp when i have the chance, but im still learning what all they do
; u; ur so nice tho π
S O O N
I just hope my comment may help encourage you even a little! Youβre very skilled and you work hard!
They look great Feeb! The layout has nice color schemes too β€οΈ
mega evolution! good luck!!
thank you for sharing your works 
oh no the symmetry tool is fun.
why i am so lazy???

also idk but i didn't like the contrast between Leah's green clothes and my farmer brown sweater and her orange hair so i gave them another colors
i feel like someone's eye would die on the piece with that green
it looks good 
im recoloring abby for feast of the winter star and noticed, is she wearing a choker or is that just shadow?

that's definitely some kind a necklace,yeah a chocker i've noticed in fan arts too
thanks man, never really noticed it up until now
no problem
she lookin cute 
yes she really does!!
sometime the red and green colors aren't a good combination but with that purple it has a nice touch on her!
meh so far pine green as the main color and red as the secondary color seem to be working alright
with any new drawing,i use more and more layers like for all the details,is hard but i feel evolving on my works 
yeah some of the darker palettes do that bee
i'm 99% sure sebastian has an earring too but since his hair is dark it's hard to see
yeah it looks good so far smookie

a few people remarked on the contrast between characters
do you think i should add more lines to the deer, less lines to the boy, or neither
I like less lines!
... Hi art ppl. ^.^;;
Can I ask for some quick advice?
I have rarely arted before, and am not formally trained, nor anywhere near being considered an artist...
but I was trying to make my lil pfp christmasy
so... can I show you what I got?
My pfp/persona is a red panda :3
That loves mangoes
it looks good
And I think if you enjoy drawing, then you can be considered an artist
Formal training not required
its the thing on it's head a manju?
Tryin to figure out how to do what's next. I'm like... shaky happy with how it came out... o.o
Heeeeee yesss for Japanese New Year ^.^
On taro leaves
cuute
I like the folds of the scarf
much snugglu
If not the wood stand would hurt
haha you replaced the mikan with a mango
Mango scarf, 10/10
10/5
ty so much. tryin to think of what to do next. colored pencils, scan... o.o
I've just been takin pics of the process.
looks very cute so far
ty so much. for real. all of you. 
very cute
yeah it def looks great so far!! cant wait to see the finished product :>
but.. how do you guys clean it up and.. whats next. o.o;;
I just always stalk and admire artist ppl... o.o
like... I used to go to cons, just for artist alley tbh
oh Mood
unfortunately im a digital artist so my process is very different from physical paper and pencils
not really a trad artist but they line it with ink?
then they erase the pencil
real easy to make mistakes though...
It's what scared me. Was thinkin of lightly goin over it with colored pencils?
tons of traditional artists on instagram do upload recordings of them drawing so im sure u can find inspo there ^^
or tryin to scan and do stuff digital
Ooo true some webcomics I read do that O_O
ty very much guys :]
I'll get outta yer hair no
Finished my first ever commission!~ β€
Any thoughts on what I could improve in the future?
ooh nice!
maybe look into animal legs a bit more? theyre very readable as back legs, but i think they can use a little more definition to separate back thigh from tail meats! [i still struggle with animals too so you're def not alone haha;;]
Oooo for sure, animals are tricky, I'll work more on the legs for sure ovo
@brazen lark Hello yes would like to know about backgrounds
@brazen lark how do you background?? so perfectly??
well its Definitely not Perfect but i have a lot of practice haha, doin comics does that to ppl!!
i divided a bunch of the objects/subjects into a bunch of folders so it went from
foreground
-right plant
-present
-christmas tree
the main subject (the two people)
background
-the Room(????) sure
-outside the window
unfortunately i tend to be lazy sometimes with my art and never use folders and only sometimes do i name layers
haha ooooops
this was honestly one of the most Messiest ive ever been in drawing backgrounds bc i usually merge my layers and then continue painting over them
but this time i sorta just let the layers accumulate and i have like over 50 lmao
very bad management imo
oh jesus
also i notice you used soft shading? ive always had split views on cell and soft shading, so idk which would look better
Oooo I really should use the folders in SAI more
we dont name layer sin this house. i just label folders like 40% of the time haha
lmfao
theres no shading that generally Looks better, both can look good just depending on how experienced you are!
and your preferences of course
i use both sometimes (hard cell shading for the most Dramatic of Lighting) but i wanted.....Soft for this piece
i always have trouble deciding because usually in my art i use a blur tool for the blush and for everything else i use cell shading
heres what a bunch of the layers/folders look like individually
practice!!! ive never actually painted snowy backgrounds before a few weeks ago
and i tried it a bunch of diff ways until i found a way that satisfied me
did you do a previous sketch or just wing it?
no i did have a thumbnail to give me a jist of what i wanted to do
i love messsyyyy thumbnails
ohhhh
yeah same
gosh i love it
i really need to do those, i usually just do a huge sketch of everything instead of a previous thumbnail whenever im making a big illustration
ah well i sorta went from thumbnail and then directly into the full illustration
thumbnailssss
bc thats all i rly need tbh
ive started cheating with my initial sketches, i just use a thumbnail, blow it up to the size i need it, and use that as my undersketch
ive been wanting to do that, but i dont and it disappoints me
also another neat thing i do for my backgrounds is grabbing a folder (lets say the foreground) and then duplicating it, converting the whole thing into a single layer, and then gaussian blurring it
i usually jump right in with the sketch when drawing, i dont even bother with a thumbnail lmao
and then hiding the initial floder
how im gay and dont know how to spell
FUCK
wow.
ANYWAY.
lmao
lmao
i sometimes do a fancy little gaussian blur, but honestly im not too sure how to paint backgrounds because im not too sure how digital painting is different from just regular digital art w/ line art, shading, etc
for the background, i did the same thing, but i soft erasered a bit of it and kept the first folder so it can have a nice focus on certain areas
im a full slut for overlay layers. same with low opacity multiply ones π© ππ½
it gives me a nicer control than using radial blur
ugh i really need to learn some new art tricks
most of my backgrounds (mostly nature ones) are lineless
theres probably a lot im doing without realizing its the hard way
it be like that!
i have a ton of artist friends and we're always constantly learning stuff
truu
im the opposite of kyle though and end up lining everything π° but you can make things less harsh by going in and colouring your lines afterwards
i think i probably use line art a bit too much in my work
ive tried going lineless but its sooo difficult for me
why not just colour it? to make it look lineless
especially difficult for it to even look good so i just gave up and started using line art for backgrounds and blurring them
its an easier transition that way
i do color my line art, but for backgrounds i unfortunately dont have the patience for that lol
listen my guy, ppl are unstoppable when they got the patience and knowhow
its a great skill to acquire
also if it helps, i Never go lineless for drawing people bc thats SUPER hard for me, i just choose a nice non-black color, set it to multiply, and then lower the opacity a bunch
^^ and if it gets too overwhelming put it aside and work on soemthing else!
ye absolutely!
this secret santa piece was a GREAT break from my fuckin sdv comic
@____@
i kNOOWWW im really excited
i just wish i could stop time so i dont feel like i gotta rush things, esp with my other projects
commissions,,,,,other obligations
OH KYLE have u played with the symmetry tool in csp? π i found it last night and bruh its so much fun
YEAHHHH i love that tool
YEEE
its so much damn fun playing with it and creating patterns
see, i should use it for that
ive used it to design circle tattoos and its so damn Cool
but all ive done is toon bullshit
idk what direction my arts going in but its a ride and im havin a time
also when im super damn lazy i use it to draw people (or get a good base down) and then one im done with it, i Mess it up to make it look less static and samey
JKDFGNDF
oh jeez im afk for like 2 minutes lol
u: using tools to be productive
me: 'im gonna make a goblin'
we are both valid
dont know her
I think I saw her once? She saw me and ran the other direction
It's weird to me that some people struggle with lineless art? I've been doing lineless for
four or five years now? And if someone told me to do art with lines now I'd just be ????
xD
Or it is so well drawn that you don't even notice idk 
idk about well drawn
Just not a notable aspect lol

I remember i did my first painting with no lines
Yeah it is a good way to practice
But you took it to another level
I picked up doing lineless in
2014? with help from an ex (he mostly pointed out flaws and corrected colour bc I suck at colour) and then sorta never went back
I wanna do a big draw for the Winter event
But I still have
A big draw in wip
Started it in November 
pats i still havent finish my Big November draw so πͺπ½ we got this
Oooh i remember that one!
the lil arm will forever remind me of a lil sloth
hehe
nowwwwww im done >:D
its truly incredible how i sprouted up from the dirt like a potato in may
also sidebar i tried out the colorize feature in csp for the november sketch and its Really neat looking https://puu.sh/ChVPA/66d3dd5a03.png
i would die for clip studio paint
@brazen lark aw i love that!
thank you sm!!
oo

@brazen lark how does it work exactly? the colorize feature
Ok I finally tried it for myself.
This is a color comp for a commission.
Still messing with the colors, but wwhaaaaattttt π±π± https://t.co/gOxU03b0Cx

this whole thread shows it off better than i can explain it!!
very fun to look at
@untold roost i can honestly just stare at how this feature affects other ppls works, its just Really fascinating to see how the program colors things https://twitter.com/JonnyDoLake/status/1075171275650293760
Another test using the Colorize tech on one of my animations. This time with some manual tweeking to try to achieve more controled results. It's very limited tech, but the results are still impressive. No doubt A.I's will play a huge role on the future look of 2d animation...

@brazen lark oh wow thats amazing
Does this outfit fit Abigail well?
yea I guess
Oo holiday themed outfits would be so cute @lament turtle
so do we got any people good at video making/editing?
MERRY XMAS EVE EVERYONE \o/
trying to give alex antlers because reasons, any opinions?
lighten the dark outlines
did toyhouse die or is it just me
It dies from time to time
i know but i meant rn
@stable elbow like dis?
oh rite
make the nose look a bit more round tho
true
i decided to go with this in the end -- though i still might adjust the hair
ive added a soft effect on the outside to make it more standout
Yuup it is looking great so far 
Ow definitely,doing lots of art in a short time is exhausting,we all need to tone it down a bit sometimes
yeah !! also im really just, not that experienced with art so there's a lot of stuff im just really not the best at. im coming from a programming background mostly

The only weird thing is that it's all lineless except for the character on the right's hair? (and the goat's ears?)
But gosh is it cute.
@fringe gyro thank you yeah i still have to figure that out, if i can use flat shading or something on the hair to make it work without lines
if i just do one solid color he turns into whipped cream
:(((
oh?
Lmao
π No Time To Explain Remastered
https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=hVarAu3dhGX6Cu4B
Ahh so fast lol
much wip
@fossil oxide you sure you drew that?
http://kvothe-kingkiller.tumblr.com/post/148156204877/petroleum-hare-empresspinto-blixart
no, i didnt draw it, i found it on tumblr and thought it was funny
Rule 3 buddy
sorry, i didnt intend for it to come off as my drawing
sure, sorry for the inconvenience

Oooh looking great Nyx,i have to experiment new brushes too
And can find your own way to do the line art 
yeap, for sure
π© π© π I talked about Christmas sales for art stuff a while ago but my lightbox is hereeeee
I'm gonna draw dumb shit now
aw nice! I used to have a light box, they are really convenient
Yeah I used to just break into the studio at school for them
Now I can draw in pjs so I'm stoked
drawing dumb shit ? feeb is doing a web portrait ?
yes i would definitely recommend watercolour paper
taping the edges down'd def help in the meantime
Yeah, I just got some sketch paper to try on
i wanna rewrite some of my character bios on toyhouse but that takes time and brains
Am lazy because i still didn't put the story of my first OC's there,but gdi,I'll do it today
omfg being in art groups is such an inspiration for me,i see peoples progress and what amazing things they can do and also makes me to push off the limit and get better!!
weeeew
i love doing squiggly clothing folds but i get so sad when i need to cover them ; o;
weh
finally updated my first 2 oc's stories on toyhouse https://toyhou.se/Smookie
A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.
some opinions on them would be much appreciated 
like with grammer and random stuff?
at the start of history you missed a space
in between life,marcus
In his past life, Marcus was always taking the hard edges following his father steps, it wasn't so hard for him to get noticed since his dad was working at a casino who knew all the tricks teaching his son to earn a lot of money, his mother on the other hand knew that her husband became a bad influence for their son. She was working at a store as a cashier and tried her best to support their son, while the father poisoned Marcus's mind. In the end mom decided to take all the money Marcus won and run away with him, sadly on the day December 12, winter, they got crushed by another driver who lost the car's control. Surprisingly the mother survived but that day was the last one for Marcus's life, dying at the age of 21. "His father hears what happens and decides to divorce the poor woman leaving on her own."
i changed what I would do but i don't know if that's what you want?
(that's the history part)
i meant what peoples think about their stories,what they feel...
because is the first time i am writing stories of 2 oc's
I created the blog i was talking about yesterday
https://rhithfarm.tumblr.com
I'll try to post sth new tommorow ^^
Ooo
ooo I like it
why ty!
@devout stream so for Abby art makco pings us, and for penny are we ping makco?
That looks cool doug
thanks!~

twitter artists: the transparent pixel workaround isnt gonna work anymore so heads up π©
https://twittercommunity.com/t/upcoming-changes-to-png-image-support/118695 every site is trying to one up each other on shafting people lmao
in a few months: "We no longer support embeds"
:( why cant we have a working website for artists to just share their work without any problems.
oh!!
that looks very nice uchiki!
i swear social media sites don't know who their demographic is
and bleh, right? a working art site would be nice
DA is garbage and i refuse to go back
hey guys its time for us to individually mail art to our audience instead
nkfdnsfndskjd
@arctic fox a good witch!
im gonna need more stamps :c
buy out billboards along highways
lets bring back email chainletters
fr though im getting really tired of worrying about starting my audiences over from scratch
i dont have the same twitter numbers as i do tumblr and i for sure wont get those on pillowfort if i manage to get in there when they open
idk where artists are meant to go anymore π©
i got key before christmas to pillowfort seriously when it's going to be free you guys need to check it out
yeah!!! honestly it sucks. like im already having so much trouble even getting an audience and like starting over and over again is tiring
oooo
for beta site it's super good
ive heard good things but im not down to pay when theyre projecting openings in a few months
my concern is that the last time i checked pillowfort, they were using paypal for [money things] and paypal absolutely Does Not Allow sites offering NSFW content to use its services
so until they move away from paypal, i do not want to use that website
payment processors exercise a massive amount of control over online content and services.
i see
which is weird, one would think they'd only care about the money 
They don't want to deal with potential liability for certain things
im poking around waterfall.social, but it is a Very Very pre-alpha website and its bein made by One dude and maybe a handful of volunteers
it is neat tho,,,promising, i really like the community guidelines and they promised that every report they receive would be individually looked over
instead of an automated bot, thanks tumblr
hmmm ive never heard of that before, i might go look around :0
oh neat!
mastodon is nice
and when i mean its very pre-alpha i mean like, i cannot actually upload more than one picture at a time JKFDGKDFGDF but theyre promising
but its like catered to specialized communities
ye mastodon was a lil confusing to me,,,,
tbh if i want somethin like that, id just stick to discord (love yall)
mastodon feels really twittery to me? so i never saw the point in using both ._.
Mastodon was basically built to be a de-centralized and more open version of Twitter
yea it was made as a twitter alt
In response to Twitter's incredibly opaque moderation system and decisionmaking
confusing but they do a good job of getting rid of nzis and pdos unlike twitter
yup
oh twitters a dumpster fire but thats where the people are so i stay
yeee ur right which was why i had considered it, i am jsut dumb of ass lmao
aint got no audience but i can hope π
my other twitter is mainly used for like, yelling into the void and then occasionally drawing art for internet celebrities and get that sweet exposure when they like/retweet it, πͺ
also participating in art challenges and whatnot help too
man i just love how tumblr's system of tags worked so much tho
looking at all the lil messages people put in the tags always made me feel so better
yea
i feel, awkward, commenting on ppls art on twitter jfdghbdfgdfb
with twitter i get a few but not as much as tumblr
and yeah! im too shy to leave comments on twitter
comments on twitter can be so damn awkward sometimes
straight up weird
some weird ass commented on a mutual's art saying they wanted to suck the characters toes
oh yikes
π¬ HH,,,
other than that the artist community on twitter is pretty cool
it's just really hard to gain traction
and twitter bricking artists
im boutta flood the sdv tag on twitter with my stuff bc theres not a Lot goin on there, compared to tumblr
yea most of the sdv artists dont post on the tag
oh man i love the sdv community on tumblr, they are all so sweet!!
and if they do, theyre most likely korean/japanese so language barrier LMAO,
also yeah!!
one thing i particularly love abt the sdv community on tumblr is the amount of love u receive for OCs
its Super rare that a fandom space has OCs as integrated compared to canon characters
oh i. just didnt get any notifs on this lmao
hello
i gotta use tags on twitter more but it feels so awkward
it really does!! it feels so.. idk how to explain it but it feels in the way?? like with tumblr it's on the side or bottom, and it lets you focus on what op wrote or the art, whereas with twitter it's All there
if that makes any sense
and i dont really like posting my art on reddit either, i guess i dont like how it works? but that's just me
@devout bridge ugh i hate png compression to jpg already
for twitter
it ends up looking awful
it doessss. for both things. :Y;;
hashtags on twitter feel really loud and distracting, if that makes any sense? like we all know i'm just doing it for attention so pls stop reading this and just look at my dumb doodles
idk how to post art on reddit without it getting caught by the spam filter
reddit is kind of underwhelming for conversions
ive been posting a decent bit lately to reddit to try and get some twitter followers for that lil game im working on
a lot of the posts do quite well with hundreds of upvotes but
it yields maybe 1 or 2 followers if that
and if you post at the wrong hour it's just lost to the abyss
oh my art just gets straight up filtered out lmao. never could find out why but i ended up deactivating my art account since it looked like it wasn't going anywhere
ahh

trying to make the characters more uniform in style, any thoughts for variations?
i def prefer the lineless hair!
unrelated but 400% questioning life choices since im considering doing hamnoir art for shits n gigs
a lot of the differences were really subtle, but i like #2 the most :0
[i think thats the middle top?]
aye #2 is just #5 but the side part is the same solid tone rather than being darker
I like the bottom left one
with the gazelle creature you can probably just make the outlines on the ears the same color as the fur. just cause it's a bit odd the ears are lined and the rest isn't
Is there any place besides your name to advertise commissions and instagram?? Since there is such a big group of artists I would think there would be a place for people to advertise stuff like that, I mean it could just be me. I'm just used to seeing that in discords that have art channels there. Thoughts on this??
there's no channel to advertise no
people have asked about it before but we've decided against it
if you want us to talk about it again, we can, but it'll most likely be something we're not gonna implement
Gotcha, just wanted to know ovo
@fringe gyro aye that one too is out of necessity so the shape of the ear is visible during animation
that said it's a lot thinner now then in this gif
ended up going with this for the hair thoug
very cute !!
it's very cute indeed
thankss
Been working on a self piece before the end of the year
π π π π π π lore
Its time for changes, 2018 has been quite a rough time, especially as of late, but 2019 is around the corner, and there are changes to be done, so might as draw my mascot with those changes
oooooo i get it now, it looks rly good >:'o
Aw thank you kyle, I appreciate it a lot 
cherry!!!!!! it looks great!!!
mmmmm does anyone have any tips for loosening up their lineart? cause my sketches are usually loose and fluid but i get super caught up on smooth lines and then my lines feel Stiff
if i can help it, i usually try to keep the sketch part of the lineart and just clean it up ome
*some
if i don't do that, i try to sketch the lineart out faster and try to not worry about details, coloring ends up helping a lot and i can go over later to make it more expressive
ive def cleaned up sketches before! but i'm a messy sketcher so its always a chore lol
yells loudly about art

hope a reliable art host pops up soon before everything goes to shit π
art hosts be like
deviantart: tagging algorithms and discovery sucks for artists
tumblr: everything unviewable
twitter: poor image quality and poor discovery from underutilized tagging
instagram: horrible. absolute garbage
2094
6663
pixiv: you better know Japanese
time to dig up old niche sites and hope for the best
Hey anybody that could possibly help make a free logo for an upcoming group I am associated with, please dm me.

Dumass' rendition of Clint as Jack Frost, wondering if his beard is too light or not
I really can't believe you assumed that Clint is related to Jack Frost,Bee 
But it looks good regardless 
Nah the beard is good unless you want him to be Gandalf 
Oh the colors you mean?yeah all is good!!

Man I'm just winging it with these npc's
I was messing with his hair color and BAM, jack frost
lmao
some mood from Sarah Scribbles
too much practice
that new mascot is adorable
and, I never use the word in this way, but here goes, mood
why did that make me feel dirty?
Bee, his mouth is also uhh frosted
The art host thing is true, except for tumblr i would also add "better only draw fanart unless ur famous"
dA i can at least say i dont feel like my followers will drop me like a rock if i get a different interest
At least in my case tho not too many have left, i just end up feeling bad for not doing the same thing
https://puu.sh/CnZqR/070fe5e6ba.png SOOO i kinda just noticed the lineweight difference between the two of them and im wondering if its enough that i should redraw cups body π© what do y'all think
it's not that noticeable to me personally
stares more at the picture
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I'm pretty sure it's Cuphead fighting some sort of pokemon
maybe i just don't have much of an eye for things like that, i think those lines are as smooth as a baby's ass
no, that's feeb's oc
i tried colouring in and its showing me lil grumpy line bits π
smoother than baby's ass
I dont buy that baby's butts are as smooth as people say 
lmao that's fair
baby skin is really really soft so I don't think their butts would be any different. probably very smooth.
does anybody know of any cute lil ghost drawings / characters / doodles / OCs
would like to check out some references for inspiration
vivian from paper mario is my life
@unkempt tinsel lmao this is literally a glorified paper mario clone game
but yes same
yeah i also love little phantump from pokemon
Phantump is adorable and tragic
true
there's a ghost in gumball >:0
Doopliss is best ghost that isnt Vivian because no one can top Viv, he is a bad ass
literally nothing was done but a highlight/shadow check cause istarted playing tf2 lmao
but too dark?? is good?? who knows
The character in the background is one of the bosses and Feeb's oc is friends with him, and them and Cuphead are fighting over the boss' soul contract. I think that's what the drawing is about unless the concept was changed hehe
It looks great Feeb! The finished piece is gonna look awesome and I look forward to seeing it!
i love ur art
sobs i didnt see any of this i love u guys
also dang makco knows my doodles better than id o lmao
especially since i keep putting this one off to go work on other doodles
I remember that one because it was an idea I suggested hehe
oh yeah!
i got over ambitious about it and it boiled down into a one time doodle lmao
Relle and the cup bros fighting over Beppi's soul contract
yee
i still gotta draw mugs and relles legs but other than that its nearly doneeee
hhhh
o|-< ive been drawing SO much lately but the fact that i cant post any of it until i finish is Hurting Me
kyle i cant wait to see im so hyped
im about to pass out bc its also 2 am but im almost done with the last page and im gonna fix up the cover so its less ugly and oooold
ooo

///wonks, have a wip https://puu.sh/Codr8/c05689c525.png
where he goin
ive seen snow once in my life so i just hope it doesnt look fuckin stupid
y'all ever had that one fandom that stunted the shit outta your art progress?
i remember i was really into bnha in 2014-15 and i tried reworking my art style because of it
and its been wonky asf ever since
did you find a good art style before that?
yea
im sorta worried my toon stuffs doing that? but my arts more fluid now so maybe not
i feel it tho
my style is starting to turn into some weird cartoon human animal thingies idk
everything i draw looks like animals but they also look like humans
i draw furries
:I
nothin wrong with anthro
Homestuck messed up my art progress
That feeling for when you have a winter contest idea that is way beyond your skill level but say fuck it and decide to try anyway
If nothing else I'm getting better at fabric folds
Thatβs lit Zero 
Youβve got a great ideal indeed and itβs coming along nicely! 
I'm considering starting over this weekend because I did the table front before thinking about perspective and now the the size of everything is off ... either that or it is one wide-ass table 
hahaha
sjshfvdj stardew valley last supper
guys, do you wanna see something hilarious
hi!!!
I'm drawing myself for the meet the artist thing
and like
the way I 'sketch' is much more like... a really derpy preliminary doodle.
look at this before and after
hilarious indeed
ehehe
lmao. I love it.
but i dont remeber doin it
and it looks so weird
What do you use/prefer to draw with?
is it good?
SAI? Yeah. I like it. Fire Alpaca is a really good free drawing software tho
I got clip studio paint this christmas with my new intous.. Im trying to get used to it. But a good softare that is like fire alpaca would be great
I used to use it for a long time
i've been mixing between fire alpaca and krita
SAI is similar to fire alpaca, I'd say. Not as simple, but a lot simpler than clip studio
yeah clip studio is pretty complicated :I
ye, sai is good
You could also try Krita. It's free and has a ton of features
It has issues on lower end hardware though
Q__Q i could totally be done with the comic right now, i mean i BASICALLY am
just my perfectionist attitude,,,,,,,is making me repaint two of the backgrounds
and its more annoying than usual bc theyre both single layer paintings dkfjgbfdng dmgdfngdfkvf
o|-<

how do y'all do backgrounds? do you line art or paint?
bit of both for me
i line things that need focus and do paint for things that dont
i mostly paint, but i do use lines for buildings and other interior/man made things
I try to do a little thumbnail with less details and then i zoom sketching them way better -> line art
Depend on what kind of style you want as well , if you want painting feeling or realistic best do painting or remove the lineart after you finish the shading and detail
if more cartoon or anime like than you can keep the line depend , usually no line work better for bg if you plan to do full illustration
some cookie stuff

At least until the farmer arrives.
I feel like that's set the last winter before you show up. The town has troubles
haha meant to be Leah. Obviously this needs more work, but I didn't think too hard about the symbolism of who is who.
Thanks cat!
Nice!

I have art block so hereβs my expressionless farmer also I know her left boot is short and i need o reproportion the left side a lot

is gore okay? I have some headcanons with Yulna that may be kinda triggering for some people with blood and stuff
aaaaa she's super cute β€
@arctic fox
Probably not on the safer side?
If it's just blood tho??? Maybe ur fine
But Gore, prob not
If anything, you can dm a junimo and ask if it's like right on the line
