Guys, I'd like your opinion on a story summary, if youwould.

"Set in the magical world of Elieas, this is the story of Akshaya, a child of a very isolated race of magical beings called Elementals. When her parents are tasked with a mission in the human lands, they take her with them, where they raise her in an isolated manner, shielding her from all possible harm in the process. However, when their stay in the human lands is extended and they have to take on a mission Akshaya can't go to, they leave her in the place that is, in their view, the closest to the kind of environment they were trying to raise her in: a boarding school in the outskirts of a city.

For the first time, and at a young age, Akshaya has to confront the human world without the guidance or protection from her parents. At the same time, she also has to keep the secret that she's not human. For her looks, she has the aid of powerful magic. For everything else, however, she's on her own, in a world she never belonged in, unaware that danger doesn't necessarily come from a vicious beast or a hostile magic spell."

[shell notch]

[waxen veldt]

A good summary is the last thing I need to start posting the first chapter.

[thin dagger]

i think it's well written!!

i think the second paragraph gives a bit too much details that are going to be already in the story im assuming?

[waxen veldt]

I mean the magic is explained in the first chapter.

As is the parents leaving her there.

[thin dagger]

yeah so i think you could leave out the second paragraph out since i think it's giving out too many details about what is in the story itself.

wait

unless u mean this is a summary for the first chapter not the whole story or?

[waxen veldt]

It's supposed to be the story description. I'd like to add the "a world she never belonged in" thing. But the first chapter covres like..... up to the never belonged in part, actually. The first chapter ends with her being left at the school.

[thin dagger]

hmmm i see

this is all my opinion btw (and plus im not a big writer myself) so u dont have to take it all into consideration but i think leaving bits of details out of the summary will make people more curious and more likely to want to read more after reading the summary. i think the first paragraph is fine and maybe add the bit about being in "a world she never belonged" in the first paragraph. otherwise i think it's perfect! makes me intrigued

[waxen veldt]

Okay!

"Set in the magical world of Elieas, this is the story of Akshaya, a child of a very isolated race of magical beings called Elementals. When her parents are tasked with a mission in the human lands, they take her with them, where they raise her in an isolated manner, shielding her from all possible harm in the process. However, when their stay in the human lands is extended and they have to take on a mission Akshaya can't go to, they leave her in the place that is, in their view, the closest to the kind of environment they were trying to raise her in: a boarding school in the outskirts of a city. At the same time, she's now on her own, in a world she never belonged in. " ???

[thin dagger]

yeah! i think that's perfect!!

[waxen veldt]

Okay!!! First chapter is up, then!!!

Thanks!

[thin dagger]

woo!! np, glad i could help!

[waxen veldt]

in case anyone's interested in reading it

[thin dagger]

👀

[fringe gyro]

I did play some games but I wanted to draw more so I tried to get started on drawing his body... he's so confusing anatomically though.... does this look alright?

[thin dagger]

it looks great so far!!! as for anatomical issues, it's hard to tell since i cant compare to the rest of the body

[fringe gyro]

His neck/shoulder area is the hardest part for me since he really doesn't have a neck

but ty!

[thin dagger]

ohhh i see what u mean

yeah that is a bit confusing

[waxen veldt]

That Mario looks cute

and soft

and I want to hug him

[fringe gyro]

hehehe

His arms go in another layer, but how's this?

[devout bridge]

https://puu.sh/CuU27/5accfff5b5.png hhh

i went back to it after all lmao

[fringe gyro]

lmao mood

[fleet gazelle]

that looks cool

[fringe gyro]

it does

[unreal stream]

@devout bridge a draw day?

[devout bridge]

not a very good one, no 😔

[unreal stream]

Oh I sounded like a google hangout sort of thing

A bunch of friends of mine used to do it so everyone drew together while sharing their screens

I assumed it was what you were doing

[devout bridge]

ohh

like drawpile?

[unreal stream]

I think so?

Its a fun thing to do. Everyone works on their own thing and you can see other's progress in real time

Of course if you did it with me all you'd see is me stressing over shading

[shell wedge]

A sketch group? :O

[young panther]

(@shell wedge 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!)

[shell wedge]

Sorry, rando newbie here

[frigid depot]

Gasp, I think I follow u on tumblr Stith!

[brazen lark]

Welcome to the server stith ! I don't believe there is a specific sketch group per se but they briefly talked about how drawpile works

[frigid depot]

^ Yup

[shell wedge]

Oh cool! Thank you for following me (* ´∀` *)

[frigid depot]

I havent heard of drawpile in awhile

[brazen lark]

Ur cynicalstith right?

[shell wedge]

Thanks for the welcome! Drawpile does sound familiar, but I don't think I've ever used it

Yep yep

[brazen lark]

I recognized your name and the art in ur icon seems familiar lmao

[frigid depot]

Yeh I didnt use it before either, neither did google hangouts

Yeh I was like - stares at icon - Wait a moment 🤔

[brazen lark]

I love ur art!! Ur Sebastian retroactively made me gay, thanks

[shell wedge]

Haha, I've never been recognized like this before xD I'm glad you guys like my work! \o/

[brazen lark]

You post sdv art often enough on Tumblr! It's a good community there

[shell wedge]

Just like the game itself, even though I try other things, I always keep comin' back to good ol' Stardew hehe

Maybe one day I'll convince myself to draw the other characters more. But purple emo husband is too fun to draw :D

[brazen lark]

Oh Me

You think i would personally be tired of drawing him bc I had to draw him a million times for the comic I did but nah

I love him too much to Not draw him all the time 😔🤙

[shell wedge]

Agreed -u-

[unreal stream]

We should do a hangout/drawpile 👀

[shell wedge]

I'd love to :D When it's not 4am for me haha... Since when was it 4am . _.

[unreal stream]

Its 12:18 for me

At work :/

I just want to go home and try shading again

[brazen lark]

I've used similar programs like drawpile and it was a lot of fun with friends

I just gotta pretend no one is watching me tho bc I get stage fright kfndjdkkd

[shell wedge]

D:

[brazen lark]

And damn it's 4 am for me as well, I got hyperfocused working on some tokens for dnd

[shell wedge]

Oooo I love DnD ^o^ and same haha, I know the feel

Though I blame GDQ for keepin' me awake hehe

[brazen lark]

I'm running a one shot on Saturday and I'm drawing up a homemade isometric map bc I'm extra af

[shell wedge]

That sounds fun :O

[brazen lark]

(I also love dnd so much that I'm just replacing solorian Chronicles with dnd in future comics, it's fun to think abt what seb would play in dnd hehe,)

[unreal stream]

I hope to finish mine this weekend and then start on something new

Something cute, and not lewd

[echo mesa]

a duck?

[unreal stream]

Nah, a character from Fire Emblem hugging another

Probably Serra (again lol) and F!Robin

[jaunty tundra]

[untold roost]

[unreal stream]

[thin dagger]

[jaunty tundra]

Ty!

[jaunty tundra]

yallstvely

i need some advice

dis

which looks better?

[mighty bronze]

i think the first one

[jaunty tundra]

hmm fair

it does look more fleshed out

[mighty bronze]

yup yup!!

[jaunty tundra]

tfw i get lazy with coloring in lines

[devout bridge]

I wanna draw Oc gift art for some people but idk how to do that without feeling awkward 😭

[jaunty tundra]

aaaaaa just slam it in their face like hereyougookbye

[mighty bronze]

lmaoo

mood

[jaunty tundra]

dis mouth kills the man

[devout bridge]

im prob gonna! they really like my oc and we're mutuals on tumblr/twitter

but im a big socially awkward baby and i wanna draw their kid for them 😭

[jaunty tundra]

[untold roost]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/452974616277680129/533333552410918933/unknown.png

all i can say is thank god for the pen tool and computers

[jaunty tundra]

hahaha tbh

[onyx island]

When coloring tree leaves, where to put the darker ones, at the edges or at the center?

[jaunty tundra]

embedded through the light leaves

put slight outlines on the lighter ones

and put little dark clumps or even just one or two clumps through the trees

[onyx island]

okz!

[devout bridge]

for trees i usually do dark layer bottom, rough mid layer over it, sparse lighter layer w the lighter layer more aimed at the light source

[onyx island]

It will be a nighttime scene so I spare myself the trouble of shading

[devout bridge]

lmao

darker at the bottom then, go mid on top so u got a moon light

[jaunty tundra]

yeee

example doddles

[devout bridge]

yeah ^ you dont have to go all out

just a couple light leaves every now and again

[jaunty tundra]

end even then i didnt even change the color pallette

thats what i did for nighttime

meant to post this too

exact same scene, different shades

also if its complete darkness with no light, then remember that shadows clump

all ur tree needs to be is a silhouette really

with a few branches pokin out

doot dooot

[onyx island]

I see, hope I can replicate all those effects with a mouse hehe. Otherwise I'll just improvise

[jaunty tundra]

i believe in u

notice i did also do layer effectss

those r rly good for setting tone

[onyx island]

Hehe yeah I abuse layers for those kind of effects

[jaunty tundra]

yesss

[devout bridge]

"im gonna draw a gift art for a friend"
"i also wanna draw a multi imaged thing for no other reason than memes"

h e l

[lament turtle]

hi

DSGKLDJLGKDG

[lament turtle]

i love this so much I LOVE MECHS and I LOVE NGE

[lament turtle]

[blazing timber]

looks very pretty

[storm meadow]

@onyx island depending on the direction of light. I hope this might be useful https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=54977563

[onyx island]

Ohh that can be useful. I kinda gave up and improvised just as I predicted it would happen, but I can totally try to apply the stuff from that

[storm meadow]

good luck Makco! you got this

[onyx island]

Now I'm suffering with making clouds!

[storm meadow]

how bout this https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=39608013

[onyx island]

I see I see, shade away from the light source

Hmm well not quite, shade away from the light source but actually fully illuminating the opposite side of the cloud too

Hmm... hope I can pull it off

[storm meadow]

my fav: https://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=64767959
I like how the glows are corresponding with the landscape color theme

[mighty bronze]

wowzer

[devout bridge]

https://puu.sh/CvaCo/6e866248d4.png toon hands is cute

[strong ingot]

Shoutout to Glover 👌

[onyx island]

Lol, what a coincidence, the playlist landed on the song "Die House" from the Cuphead OST when I saw that pic

[shadow sail]

DAS CUTE omg

[devout bridge]

oo

[shadow sail]

these flowers are gonna be the death of me

[waxen veldt]

Ooh pretty!

[fleet gazelle]

Heres my wip (the squares on the floor at for increased light cause a skylight )

[waxen veldt]

Oh, that's nice!

[fleet gazelle]

After I’m doing Kirby as a pufferfish cause I can

[fringe gyro]

I need some help with this pose

my friend told me the hand should be tucked, and then she changed her mind and said it looked better when it wasn't tucked

so which is it? lmao

[fleet gazelle]

Think the 2nd one

[fringe gyro]

seriously? 😂

That was how it started smh.

[onyx island]

When in doubt, try to do the pose yourself and see which one feels more natural

[shell wedge]

^ Look in the mirror when you do it too :D It'll give you an idea of how you should do it imo

[fringe gyro]

I can cross my arms both ways

[fringe gyro]

I think I prefer the tucked one tbh

[brazen lark]

[link deleted for SECWECY]

i love dnd so much but i get upset that i cant show any of my close friends the cool shit i put together because theyre the ones Playing and i have to Wait.

my love for surprises vs my love for instant gratification, Fight

[shell wedge]

D:

I'm sure they'd like it either way though :D

[devout bridge]

OH A MOOD

want to show group my characters face. but its a secret and i want it to be surprising if/when it comes up in game

also wtf i love how you did that

im gonna fight you and your skills >:"0

[brazen lark]

ye i know theyll love it! i just wanna show them now but i cant

KJDFGDF

[shell wedge]

You can do iiiiit

[brazen lark]

my campaign is modern (but not boring so all the fun fantasy races like tiefling, etc is still there) so i wanted a tech-y vibe

[devout bridge]

power throughhh u can do it

[shell wedge]

Uh.... Distraction! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

[brazen lark]

tv texture+overlay is fuckin Good

[devout bridge]

haha nice tho!

yes

[brazen lark]

backlit lighting? Good.

[devout bridge]

i wanna do more backlighting with fun colours

like fuckin

backlit by neon signs???? aesthetic™

[brazen lark]

YEAHHHHH

i had originally thumb'd somethin like that for the bg but i thought it took too much away from the silhouettes

[devout bridge]

aw rip

[shell wedge]

It's possible, depends on how you handle it :D

[devout bridge]

when in doubt just make the lights pink anyway

[brazen lark]

hell yeah pink is such a great fallback color for layer modes and stuff

[devout bridge]

idk what i did before i started using pink/purple for everything

[shell wedge]

I usually use various different kinds of greys for layer modes, depends on the lighting :o

[devout bridge]

do you do values first?

[patent zinc]

w

layer modes

like blending modes?

[shell wedge]

Me? I always do local colors first :D there are specific cases where I'll do grayscale/monochrome as a base, but that's few and far between haha

[patent zinc]

aha

wha

[devout bridge]

doing values makes things look so nice but im also really lazy so can relate lmao

[shell wedge]

I like painting in general so I don't mind it ^^

[jaunty tundra]

this head is driving me nuts

[fringe gyro]

I love the detail on that nose though whoaa

so I put these two of my Mario drawings side by side sorta like a 'draw this again' meme of sorts... does anyone wanna see it? It's my first Mario drawing, and my latest one. But I must warn... the first one is really really bad.

[jaunty tundra]

sure

[mighty bronze]

Lov the progress so far Phis

And sure Deer

[fringe gyro]

I forgot one thing. I'll add that and then post

but I'm embarrassed by the first one like yeesh holy cow

I've improved so much lmao

[mighty bronze]

[shell wedge]

If you're embarrassed by the first one, then that just shows how much you've improved, yeah? ^^

[mighty bronze]

☝

[jaunty tundra]

ah ty! also yee stith makess a good point

[fringe gyro]

yes ahaha truth

but it's also really bad

[shell wedge]

Everyone starts somewhere!

Even after so many years, I still don't think I'm all that great. But hey, that's a-ok! As long as i'm having fun, it doesn't really matter \o/

[fringe gyro]

ok here it is are u ready

I did the tear effect on the new on really quick because I forgot it before

[shell wedge]

So I think as long as you have fun, you're a winner already (^ ヮ^)b

[fringe gyro]

s o m u c h i m p r o v e m e n t

[mighty bronze]

Ayeeee

I loved the old eye effect but now it looks way better
The lines are smooth and perfectly enough visible (not too thick,not too thin)

The expression also!

[fringe gyro]

Thanks!!!

I like the old eye effect too

[mighty bronze]

[fringe gyro]

But since I have to make lots of eyes for this thing, it's hard to do that for all of them so I kept it simple

[mighty bronze]

Simple is the best

[fringe gyro]

\o/

[mighty bronze]

Think at the peoples who make comics lol

[fringe gyro]

yeah!

[devout bridge]

ive done nothing but draw toon hands today

hh

[fringe gyro]

sounds like a good time

[jaunty tundra]

new wip

[mighty bronze]

OwO

[fringe gyro]

WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME LAUGH SO HARD

[stable elbow]

he looks so smug

hes judging me

[fringe gyro]

He's judging all of us

[mighty bronze]

Welp guess i will die

Meme

Yeah yeah is that one!!!

Lmao

But maybe the expression would need to be changed to fit that

Right now he is judging me

[fringe gyro]

gotchu fam

[mighty bronze]

Omfg lool

Bless you!!😂

[fringe gyro]

😂

[mighty bronze]

i see how artists have a passion for a game or a character doing fan art like you for Mario,like jev for dragon ball,like Feb for Cup head and so on

i wonder what mines is

[fringe gyro]

hmmm

What are you into? :0

[mighty bronze]

yeah that i still try to figure out lol,but maybe i want to get into magic things,i kinda like warcraft since i played it a lot

[fringe gyro]

oooo

[mighty bronze]

maybe ima try drawing my mage

but i am still in search

[fringe gyro]

Well, I hope you find it! \o/

I used to draw Layton but for some reason I have a lot more fun drawing the mario bros

[mighty bronze]

i sure see that

[fringe gyro]

ehehe

[shell wedge]

There's no rule saying that you need to pick one series to do fan art for ^o^

You can always try a bit of everything and see what sticks :D

[mighty bronze]

good point! ^^

[shell wedge]

Some good ol' Warcraft sounds fun tho, since you mentioned it >u>

[devout bridge]

ye

and i usually only do fanart for things i've made fan characters for :Y cause throwing out canon is fun

[jaunty tundra]

i was doing some work on my oc painting

n decided to draw him and my friends ocs and they turned out rly cute

[mighty bronze]

aww

they really are!!

[jaunty tundra]

ty!

[fleet gazelle]

What do you think I could do to make the hay look better?

[shell wedge]

When in doubt, look up reference :D

[fleet gazelle]

i do

But that one is just a bunch of lines pretty much

[shell wedge]

In game it's sort of clumped up into a bundle ^^

So I guess it depends on what you're going for

Are you trying to make like... loose piles of hay?

[fleet gazelle]

so just kinda copy what i did for the one on the thing?

i pretty much copied this

[jaunty tundra]

you have to also look at how hay looks irl

[shell wedge]

These are just from google ^^

[shell wedge]

Yeahhhhh

[fleet gazelle]

So just do a bunch of these?

[jaunty tundra]

more like this

it doesnt have to be overly complicated

if you put that in a barn setting then it makes more sense than a solid clump

because hay is a bunch of scribbles

[mighty bronze]

ah yes tracing things helps a lot

i keep forget

[jaunty tundra]

mhm~!

its a vital tool!

[mighty bronze]

[jaunty tundra]

as long as ur not copying others art and if u are tracing peoples art then ask them if its ok and then credit them properly yadda yadda dont claim it as your own

but thats a diff topic

[mighty bronze]

nod nooooods!

[fleet gazelle]

so just do a bunch of lines

[jaunty tundra]

yup

with proper coloring itll look more like hay

[shell wedge]

Study the reference and try things out ^^

[jaunty tundra]

^^

[shell wedge]

Until you're happy with it \o/

[jaunty tundra]

yeee

[devout bridge]

https://puu.sh/CvqXi/f5cc8a1caf.png my tummy and jaw rly hurt rn but i got stuff done so thats okay i guess

[jaunty tundra]

oooo lookin spectacular! keep up the good work and get some rest!

[mighty bronze]

[devout bridge]

thenk ;o;

its a gift for a friend so i want it to be Good. so rest is prob in order

[jaunty tundra]

yesss i believe

ive made almost no progress personally

haha

i kept coloring over the spot and ended up where i started

[fringe gyro]

I do love the way you shade though. Or paint.

It's nice.

I do
literally no shading

I love this
Help me, guys
I'm gigglin

[jaunty tundra]

DFJSDKFSd its silly

also tyvm ;w;

also i call it painting

coz i do everything on one layer

except for lineart stuffs

[fringe gyro]

i see!

I have like

50 layers

[fleet gazelle]

...

[fringe gyro]

but in my defense they need to be able to change expressions frequently so everything is on its own layer so that I can mix and match lmao

[jaunty tundra]

i do do that with some of my pieces haha

also ooo i see

one of my biggest pieces had about 70 layers

[fringe gyro]

Stop judging me, Froz! You always do this. 😭

hah yeah. it's easy to rack them up. and it's the worst when you don't name them and can't remember what's where.

[jaunty tundra]

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26221847/ the big ole piexe

also tbhhhhh

rn thats whats happening with my seb piece

[fleet gazelle]

sorry deer

[fringe gyro]

[fleet gazelle]

never say ... to deer

[fringe gyro]

I'm just joking with you, froz

ahaha

[jaunty tundra]

[fleet gazelle]

lol

[jaunty tundra]

i mean i never said i wasnt proud of the piece

it just has the most layers hahaha

[fringe gyro]

I know. I just wanted to say it was good :P

[jaunty tundra]

oh ty!

[fringe gyro]

[shell wedge]

I also paint on a minimal amount of layers -u- so I know how you feel Phis

[jaunty tundra]

nya~

[devout bridge]

👀 💦 I've def racked up a hundred layers before

Cause I'm too fickle to merge

[jaunty tundra]

😔 🤘

[fleet gazelle]

and i come back to nya

[shell wedge]

Speaking of "nya" I'm doodling a kitty Sebastian (* ´u` *)

I'll say this about Huion, everything is so neatly packaged

[onyx island]

Yessss!

[unreal stream]

This one has a screen as well, which will be lovely

[onyx island]

Looking forward to seeing what wonderful art you can make with it!

[lament turtle]

im trying to design a plug suit for the oc lkjsdgljkgdskl

each eva pilot has a personalized suit ! so i gotta try makin my own

[jaunty tundra]

Ohhh!!! Cute!! Lookin rly good!!

Fitting my tablet glove

[mighty bronze]

oh my is astonishing neil

oh

btw i need a glove like that when i draw in my sketchbook

[jaunty tundra]

Me too tbh

i got this with my tablet haha

it rly helps my hand glide

[mighty bronze]

sweet

i am way too poor to get a cintiq yet lmao is so expensive

[jaunty tundra]

Its one size fits most though

Oh!! My tablet isnt cintiq. I hereby recommend the Parblo Coast10

i have a 10.1" one and its working superbly!

i got it for ~$200 which is less than most cintiqs

[mighty bronze]

wew

[jaunty tundra]

And the color is gorgeous too

[mighty bronze]

the price is good but idk if is available for my country lol

[jaunty tundra]

Hmm well i got mine on amazon and it shipped from HK

So i unno

Im in the us tho if that helps

[mighty bronze]

[jaunty tundra]

[onyx island]

[unreal stream]

Mine came with a glove. I didn't see the purpose until I noticed how often my hand rested on the screen

[jaunty tundra]

Tbhhh

Which tablet do u hav doc?

[mighty bronze]

still

i am a beginner so i wont jump in expensive stuff right away

you can do great stuff with a rusty cheap tablet,what matter is the skill rite?

[lament turtle]

yeah ofc!!

i only use a wacom intuos pt s

maybe thats not cheap tho KSDJGDGJLGSD

but it's a p common tablet from what i've seen !

making good art doesn't require expensive tools nor the skill of an art GOD

as long as u put your effort, heart, and soul into it, i would consider it good art! bonus points if ur proud of it/had fun making it

[mighty bronze]

[empty ocean]

I kind of want a tablet glove too ...

[unreal stream]

@jaunty tundra Huion Kamvas 13

[jaunty tundra]

ooooo

• o *

[shell notch]

@empty ocean i bought 1 dollar glove and cut em my self

u dont need one that too luxury

[empty ocean]

[untold roost]

@shell wedge that kitty sebastian is so insanely cute

[jaunty tundra]

i do recommend something soft but not yarn for a glove if you're gnna diy

[empty ocean]

diy ?

[jaunty tundra]

do it yourself

my pens gone

[empty ocean]

[jaunty tundra]

whelp

[shell notch]

i go yarn

just burn the cut side

[empty ocean]

does glove reduce slip ?

[shell notch]

i used same glove over 4 years

[empty ocean]

if so i probably will get one

[jaunty tundra]

gloves help glide and dont make your hand stick to the tablet

[empty ocean]

my cintiq 13HD didnt have one in the box

[jaunty tundra]

i found my pen...

most talets dont

i dont think

13hd is also a pretty old model

[empty ocean]

i bought it around 2013 so

[unreal stream]

My screenless tablet had a glove

[empty ocean]

😂

[unreal stream]

no idea why

[jaunty tundra]

yeah i dont think gloves were popular in 2013

[shell notch]

since 2013 or 2014

[jaunty tundra]

oooo

[empty ocean]

spotted slime hand

it is not slime

[shell notch]

and i still have other one in case accident happen

[empty ocean]

reeee

[shell notch]

lel

[empty ocean]

report

[shell notch]

busted

[jaunty tundra]

keheheh

[shell notch]

1 dollars for a pair black glove, cut it and burn the cut side since wool could be messy

[shell notch]

it have been like that since 2013-2014

unos buck

me fckin cheapstake

[jaunty tundra]

I mean that works rly well!!

plus it doesnt make much charcoal

so whatever gets rubbed off doesnt continue making any debrid

Debris

[empty ocean]

well honestly idk if i really need glove

[lament turtle]

whats the glove for?

[shell notch]

well up to you

[jaunty tundra]

Its up to you dude

[shell notch]

its just 'habit' purpose

[jaunty tundra]

gloves help glide and dont make your hand stick to the tablet

[shell notch]

while i used this when i was manual drawing

which

no longer.

digital wise, i used it rarely

[empty ocean]

thonk

[shell notch]

only when i was doing long term drawing

doodle n such, no need gloves

it does indeed useful in manual drawing

[jaunty tundra]

As soon as i got my new tablet i used my glove (i never had a glovw before) and i rlu like it coz my hand sticks a lot to the screen and since its an actual monitor, it makes it difficult to draw if i dont wear the glove

[empty ocean]

i just draw normally even 16 hours straight

[jaunty tundra]

But with reg tablets they dont need to worry about fancy shmancy screens so they dont usually need gloves

[shell notch]

its less useful in digital indeed, u can just drag with space or zoom out. not like manual

[jaunty tundra]

Wait what

im confused now

[shell notch]

u can drag digital sheet when holding space or hand tool

u dont need physically move your sticky hand in current spot

[jaunty tundra]

Oh. I move my hand a lot lol

[empty ocean]

i just move my chair

lol

[shell notch]

well its depend on habit

dude

u can just rotate

slaps

[empty ocean]

actually

i dont really rest my hand

i hover most of the time

or use 1 finger to hold

[shell notch]

damn u cintiq

gimme

[empty ocean]

what

[jaunty tundra]

blinks aight

too noob to do to that caliber

[shell notch]

he s learning stage

also the reason why he disappear from internet for months

[jaunty tundra]

ooo i see

[empty ocean]

yea about that , family drama happen so

i watched anime for an entire month

cant get my mood on to draw

[jaunty tundra]

awww oh no

[lament turtle]

all artists go through the same stuff regarding art no matter the quality of work ! i look at big pieces i do and i still call them doodles too ahaha

that's alright, bro

[empty ocean]

not really

i do have artwok

[jaunty tundra]

honestly this pic im coloring of Jacki (the one with the big ears that i doodled earlier) could be considered a doodle

[empty ocean]

[empty ocean]

rest doodle

[shell notch]

im not surprised anymore

[mighty bronze]

godaaaaaamn

😂

[jaunty tundra]

[empty ocean]

oh tho i did make some huge improvement in render tho

[mighty bronze]

[jaunty tundra]

[empty ocean]

first day

[mighty bronze]

F??

for that

[empty ocean]

6th day

[mighty bronze]

ok slime you can break the table

[empty ocean]

8th

[mighty bronze]

[jaunty tundra]

i wanna eat but i dont want to move

[mighty bronze]

for real those shadows are so good!

lmaoooo

[empty ocean]

well the secret is

have a book with you

lol

[mighty bronze]

hoh?

[empty ocean]

everything feel easier to do when you have knowledge by your side

also a ref

[shell notch]

yeah i should buy hent*i comic sometimes

[mighty bronze]

XD

[empty ocean]

you should

[shell notch]

if only such thing exist here

[empty ocean]

i recommend a good hentai ref

[mighty bronze]

[empty ocean]

it doesn't really matter whether you own a good book or not

[jaunty tundra]

my cat wont sit still

[empty ocean]

have ref

do study

[jaunty tundra]

long enough

LOL

[empty ocean]

you should be able to improve

[jaunty tundra]

^

[mighty bronze]

the point is on

[empty ocean]

most of the time it is hard to do your best because you lack of knowledge and strategy to draw

[jaunty tundra]

also color picking!

[empty ocean]

study remove the strategy

you only need to follow

it is more about accurate practice

and also how to process the drawing

and improve your muscle memory , visual library + understanding what to do

just to tell the truth , it is pretty slow if you just draw random everyday without any standard point to make

you would eventually draw the same all the time

[shell notch]

and thats how i started on drawing spongebob

[mighty bronze]

draw the same like not improving at all?

[jaunty tundra]

hows this lookin??

[mighty bronze]

it looks like real fur lul

[empty ocean]

Well for example , let state the quality level from 1 - 5
you can only do 2 , and if you have no standard of 5 , no ref , no study , you will only remain in 2 and process to 2.5 in a long time

so the slow process is like your own breakthrough of technique

but it is slow

most artist learn by look

not imagine

i failed to understand this when i begin

2 years i draw i didnt improve much

end up gave up

till last year

[mighty bronze]

the point is you have to understand the rules before you break them?

[empty ocean]

yea you can say it like that

you need to learn how the tree look

how to draw it

experience it

then you will be able to draw it from your head

because you are just simply remember the experience and visual

[mighty bronze]

this is inspiring and true

[jaunty tundra]

Yeah and most really good animators or mangakas also draw really well if drawing from likeness alone instead of going cartoony

[shell notch]

the thing is, practice make perfect.

just keep doing it

[empty ocean]

i like the practice make process term more

[shell notch]

and thats how i did all these 7 years hobby from spongebob to the current me

[mighty bronze]

i think Blacky opened my eyes a little

[empty ocean]

tbh i dont study that much

😂

i do have ref when i do doodle

otherwise i would be real stuck

[mighty bronze]

ofc i use refs lol

[unreal stream]

I finally have skin tones I'm happy with but I feel my lines are too thick in places

Hair is gonna suuuuck

[empty ocean]

but well ideal art process learning is

study everyday

and test doodle at weekend

😂

[mighty bronze]

that sounds like a really good plan

tbf ima try it

[empty ocean]

but study can be a pain depend on what you draw tho

[unreal stream]

I study certain things but a lot of drawings end up as happy accidents.

[empty ocean]

to me study character or portrait is pretty hard

but painting or heavily machine part is not

😂

[mighty bronze]

in the end everyone has his own way to improve and draw

[shell notch]

its frickin 8 years and imma still bad at background

[unreal stream]

YO

[empty ocean]

do you even practice bg slime

lol

[shell notch]

no

[mighty bronze]

weeeew

[shell notch]

HAH

[jaunty tundra]

Ooo also lMAO

[empty ocean]

then don't state the obvious

😂

[shell notch]

😹

[unreal stream]

I'm legit jealous of your colours

[shell notch]

imma just copy paste palette

imma pretty much blind of colors

[empty ocean]

i dont color much

[unreal stream]

Mind if I point out one thing though?

[shell notch]

sure

[jaunty tundra]

i changed his ears hmm

[unreal stream]

Thats a very small hand

[shell notch]

hey dont let me break more table

yeah it is

[mighty bronze]

slime plsss

[shell notch]

too bad i already posted it

[mighty bronze]

the table shall surviv!!!

[unreal stream]

tbh I cant judge. I've hidden my hand behind a character's head and off-screen

[shell notch]

probably because i put too long sleeves

it was fine before sketch

[jaunty tundra]

tbh

[shell notch]

[empty ocean]

let do hands study

😂

i need to do some as well

[shell notch]

fccc handssss

[mighty bronze]

for my first try when i practiced hands it was ok?

[empty ocean]

tch tch tch , for human

[unreal stream]

I'll study hands for the next drawing.
Until then, they're hidden

[empty ocean]

you need to draw 1000+ everything

[unreal stream]

a-like so

[empty ocean]

1000+ head , hands , body , etc

each

[mighty bronze]

[empty ocean]

also plenty of full figure drawing

to get good at it

[unreal stream]

I feel like I've drawn this character 1000 times already

[empty ocean]

my dynamic pose got better after 500 gesture

[shell notch]

I'm not surprised if u become one draw man

[empty ocean]

eh slime you do realize that amount is real small right

in the actual art community

[shell notch]

not the current me

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[empty ocean]

[shell notch]

yall and ur all free times

[mighty bronze]

free time?

hahahah

good joke

[shell notch]

hahaha indeed

[empty ocean]

i am a NEET

that is what he meant

teehee

[shell notch]

i cant be NEET anymore reeee

[empty ocean]

well same

going for art class next month

no more lazy around

[mighty bronze]

this was my first portrait drew from my mind

[shell notch]

at least you still touch art
