the grid method was pretty hard to do

kind of boring too

#

until recently i find it fun

yeah I haven't stuck with it cus it's so boring, though I know it'd make me so much better madman

Very cute!

lament turtle
#

Thanks

crude reef
#

i wish i could draw! i know it all starts with practice but you cant help but wish to be good instantly yknow

empty ocean
#

imagine that you get good instantly , you will get bored eventually. Most hobby is fun to do because it is hard to achieve result

#

i savor this hardship

#

it is extra satisfied when you done something good

crude reef
#

that's true - didn't think of it like that

empty ocean
#

it is like you are playing a game you like

#

then you just cheat max level

#

what is the point now ?

#

yea your wish is like that

candid citrus
#

i wanna git gud instantly

empty ocean
lament turtle
#

@crude reef In my opinion, artists can never stop improving

#

Also, make sure not to say โ€œI wish I could drawโ€, it makes other artists feel awkward and you shouldnโ€™t bring yourself down like that. You can draw.

Here is a video you might like

Related to "i can't draw" thing

crude reef
#

djehdb thanks guys!! and whoops sorry i hope i didnt make anyone uncomfortable x__x

onyx island
#

Hehe well I started with "I wish I could draw" and then after practicing turns out I could draw!

safe goblet
#

drawing is a skill you have to develop not a random lottery chance that only some people have

candid citrus
#

'natural talent' FALSE

crude reef
#

very true. i really love writing and i think it took a lot of experience to be where i am so you'd think i would know that

empty ocean
#

Natural talent people has powerful observation skill

#

faster to adapt thing

#

but drawing itself can be learn by anyone

#

if you pick up the lesson right

#

and keep drawing

#

hardwork itself is talent

#

brighter up :3

crude reef
#

what is this support im gonna blush

safe goblet
#

yeah there is some natural talent but hard work will always outweigh it

onyx island
#

Lol "they are awesome! I want to do that!" That was definitely my drive for it. Didn't quite reached their level yet but I'm pretty happy with how far I got so far!

crude reef
#

that's how i currently feel about pixel art - i really love mods and would like to make my own edits //

devout bridge
#

oh i had that. so i just started editing pokรฉmon sprites until i had an idea on how things worked

safe goblet
#

i used to do that on a forum for comptitions

#

it was really fun

empty ocean
mighty bronze
#

You had a great day of practicing i see lmao

empty ocean
#

pretty much 5 pages of doodle / basics

#

so yea

#

maybe i will try to increase more

mighty bronze
#

Nice job

#

Meanwhile i love how dynamic i get with every pose i draw before to get what i want in the end,it was a great advice that said "if you are not warming up before to draw what you have in your head everything is in vain"

empty ocean
#

i drop my warm up for months now

#

i will probably pick it up again

mighty bronze
#

Wew

empty ocean
#

i only made sure to spend at least weeks every few months for it

#

it is like my foundation

#

just i often forget to continue it after a week or two of doing it

mighty bronze
#

Do you ever do anything outside of practice like actually draw a project?

empty ocean
#

no tho i have a project file , it is yet to be really on work tbh

#

i mainly doodle to collect visual image since i lack a lot of it

mighty bronze
#

I see

empty ocean
#

the project file only have two thing

#

lol

#

anyway gotta sleep

mighty bronze
#

Wowzer,have a nice rest you deserve it

empty ocean
#

honestly i would start the project more

#

if i really know how to actually design stuff

#

lol

#

i only know the method but i haven't really try out how it work

#

design often is about collect info , keyword , purpose , function

#

which require a lot of research

mighty bronze
#

Nothing that say you can't work on meowgiggle

empty ocean
#

so i focus on learning how to draw first

#

hopefully i get into that design class soon

#

the only ideas i have now are for the characters

#

but i lack character drawing skill

#

i can only draw them at some extend

#

but not enough to design point yet

mighty bronze
#

You definitely have a lot of skill and devotion you'll get what you want in the end anyway

#

Also someone that inspire others

empty ocean
#

if i ever get myself to start probably

mighty bronze
#

At least me lol

empty ocean
#

i still have plan to study stuff i like

#

so at least next year i may start to do personal stuff

#

this year i will mainly focus on learning

#

later for painting too

#

but if i get into the class

#

i will get to learn design

#

so probably will be better that way

#

otherwise i keep up with learning how to draw for now

mighty bronze
#

Your journey begins

#

Or extends lol

empty ocean
#

i think i have got a lot more confidence in core drawing at the very least

#

i have been drawing more bolder than before

#

back then i do not like drawing line much

#

i was more of prefer painting with shape

#

i only value core drawing now that it really help

mighty bronze
#

I noticed you do only digitally but traditional?

empty ocean
#

i do have a few

#

but i don't do them much

#

i only do traditional when i do 100 gesture pose daily

#

so i can't ctrl+z

#

i use ballpoint pen

#

or inking

#

no escape ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

mighty bronze
#

Yeah yeah XD

#

Learning from mistakes is the greatest

mighty bronze
#

Hooooly

candid citrus
#

0;

empty ocean
#

there are about 600 gestures

#

i draw on both side

#

so can't display all of them

#

lol

#

and about 30 pages of daily warm up

#

filled with lines , circle , oval

#

oof

mighty bronze
#

The attention you give to the details is just amazing

empty ocean
#

maybe you will like my turtles

Oh yeah references

#

The thing that keeps artists from everywhere alive

empty ocean
#

it was my way to lower the burden of failing

#

by turn it into a comic like page

#

i just laugh it off myself

#

and get better

#

but now i don't need to

#

i am too used to failing

safe goblet
empty ocean

they are studies tho

fringe coyote
#

hey, i'm tryin to design some characters for a story I'm hoping to make (supposed to be a typical cute anime boy and a "jock/delinquent" type lol) but idk if these are good, what you think? I'm worried they're not unique enough aha (and also if they'd look good together becuase cough i'm gay)

#

Also i have no idea how to draw in an "anime/manga" style ahahaha

unkempt tinsel
#

I think theyre very cute

unreal stream
#

Hey so slightly more oddball of a question

#

What kind of music do you guys listen to while you draw?

unkempt tinsel
#

Usually my plunderphonics and sum vaporwave

#

That makes me sound so snobby sobs

#

Music with no words or nothing coherent is my fave kind and helps me focus

unreal stream
#

Same. I'm just trying to get a playlist up and running to help get me in the mood.

fleet gazelle
#

My normal Spotify play list

unreal stream
#

lmao fair enough

stable elbow
#

podcasts

unkempt tinsel
#

Id use spotify if it let me show all my obscure music

#

Feelsbad

#

Ooh

fringe coyote
#

i listen to songs that have lyrics that i can really specifically relate to the character i'm drawing ooof

hot river
#

The last time I got really into a drawing I was playing the Journey soundtrack. Really anything by Austin Wintory is good.

#

I used it to study for exams too

rich delta
#

i just let my spotify play either release radar or discover weekly and go to town

lament turtle
#

any sai users? i need help

rich delta
#

whassup

lament turtle
#

so using other peoples textures works right? imports fine and draws fine
but if i turn a png into a bmp, limited colors, greyscale and all, and add it to a brush nothing happens
ive tried ms paint firealpaca and sai itself to try and make these textures
theyre always bmps and always scaled
if you've made yourself a texture please aid this wounded soul

rich delta
#

you're not adding the file with "..." in it right

#

like there's no file with "..." whatsoever with the brush in the folder right

lament turtle
#

no symbols only letters

rich delta
#

do you have the file "brushform.conf" in the folder?

lament turtle
#

yes

rich delta
#

and you made it a blotmap file right

#

sorry if these are "basic normal questions" just making sure nothing was missed

lament turtle
#

im trying to make them brushtex

#

ive also tried making one a papertex, no dice

rich delta
#

do you have any .bak files in the brushtex folder

#

and is the bmp of the right color depth? like the format of it is okay? because i know sai won't recognize it if the color depth isn't the right value

#

also, kinda dumb thing, but try renaming the file name so that it shows towards the top of the files, if that might help

#

there's a max limit of the amount of brushes you can have though so it might push something further towards the bottom off the menu

lament turtle
#

no bak files in brushtex that i can see, no

#

except a sai.exe.bak outside brushtex in the sai folder

rich delta
#

don't click on that, just leave it
hmmm odd, lemme check my sai, they might've removed it in an update

lament turtle
#

color depth? ive played with contrast and all images were greyscales and within bit depth range

rich delta
#

yeah, bnw depth
hmmm if there's enough contrast, it should be recognized
lemme know if the renaming works out, while i check my files for .bak

#

dang, they took 'em out

#

what's the color ratio for the bmp you're using

#

try to open the bmp in mspaint, resave it as a bmp entirely with 2^8 color depth

lament turtle
#

ive tried 8 and 2 depth, no dice

rich delta
#

dang

lament turtle
#

idk what people are doing that im not

rich delta
#

what did you save the 2^8 bmp with? mspaint?

lament turtle
#

yes

rich delta
#

your old brushes are still there, right

lament turtle
#

yes

rich delta
#

was the bmp originally an abr file at any point

lament turtle
#

no

rich delta
#

is it giving you any error message whatsoever

lament turtle
#

no. i can apply textures ive made but they don't take effect

rich delta
#

are you opening sai with "Start-Sai.exe"

#

dumb questions again
512x512 or 256x256 is the size of it, right
and it's in grayscale mode for sure

#

and you copied the textures and start-sai to both sai folders, right

#

if you have more than one sai folder, they'll go off like they're the same

#

some people have more than one for older versions if they've had older versions/trial versions

unreal stream
#

Ugh.
The lineart is practically done-zo, but I cant hide that missing hand without it being super obvious, so I'll have to draw it in. And goddamn, I can't do hands.

rich delta
#

hands are hard.jpg
good luck though! looking good so far

fleet gazelle
onyx island
#

Looking pretty damn good so far indeed!

candid citrus
#

saucy

lament turtle
#

512 x 512 yes and its my only sai folder unless the compressed zip installer counts

candid citrus
#

(looks good!)

rich delta
#

nah it doesn't count
are the .txt files updated with the new texture names?

lament turtle
#

it dooes that automatically but ive also tried manually a few times to no effects

rich delta
#

dumb possible solution
close sai out with task manager and reopen it via the start-sai.exe

lament turtle
#

oh ive been opening it from its folder since the start

#

with exe

#

thanks though

rich delta
#

no probs

#

are they appearing in the sidebar and not showing the brush when you try to use it, or are they not coming up in the list at all?

unreal stream
#

Honestly, if anyone has any be-all, end-all advice on hands, do tell

#

Because I need to nip this in the bud.

#

I told myself with this drawing I would try and avoid "that'll do" conclusions

rich delta
#

don't be afraid to use references
by the lord use references

candid citrus
#

^ that and also break down into very basic shapes

lament turtle
#

they come up on the list but when used nothing happens

rich delta
#

dumb suggestion, but try to make it a blotmap and see if it works with that
if it does, the contrast is too low i think? for it to be a texture, but if it's the right contrast, then it shouldn't work as a blotmap

#

if it's showing up fine in the list, then it's nothing to do with the .txt files or anything like that, it's with the image itself somewhere

unreal stream
#

I'll give those a go in the morning - cos I really need the hand in

#

I'll almost need to bend the arm, but I can do that fine

lament turtle
#

no noticeable effect

#

thanks so much for trying though!! its been a good while since i asked the q and your still here. i deeply appreciate it

rich delta
#

no prob! ;u;

#

sorry there was no solution aldskjf

#

tbh i did abandon sai for firealpaca, especially once i figured out how to do pixel art in firealpaca lmao

lament turtle
#

ooh, can i see your work?

rich delta
#

;lkdsajfaldskjf sure! lemme fetch

lament turtle
#

oh damn the intricacy of the middle one? where do you get the patience?

#

nice colors!

#

how do you get lines that are soft and tapered at the ends?

#

like the cloakwrinkles

open drift

sure

its the thumb right

thin dagger
#

it's actually about the forearm! i think the angle feels a bit disconnected from the body since it seems to be going the opposite direction of the upper arm

open drift
#

oh okay

#

thx

thin dagger
#

np!

fleet gazelle
#

how would one draw waves?

#

(cause hersh wanted me to draw sobble)

thin dagger
#

hmmm are you thinking really big waves or just like smaller waves?

fleet gazelle
#

i guess kinda big?

#

so like medium-high

thin dagger
#

i think these tutorials are nice!
this one gives you tips about what you should think about when drawing them-
https://www.deviantart.com/etheringtonbrothers/art/How-to-draw-WATER-WAVES-SEA-SPLASHES-tutorial-656776226
this one is a very simple tutorial on how to paint it but ithink it's still pretty useful-
http://kynimdraws.tumblr.com/post/164768969133
and this one is generally about water but i believe itll help too! (and my personal fav for water tutorials)-
https://www.deviantart.com/polychaete/art/Water-tutorial-721115366

fleet gazelle
#

heck 3 links

thin dagger
#

fnkdsjfkds i tend to look at different tutorials rather than sticking to one

#

i think the second link would be the most easiest if you dont want to look at all 3

wicked geyser
#

does anyone here 3d animate?

mighty bronze
#

Water tutorial neaat

tawny lynx
#

I do, sort of.

#

Oh dang that was 90 minutes ago.

fleet gazelle
thin dagger
#

that looks great so far!! i think adding a lil bit of a splatter effect would help and maybe some slight shading

fleet gazelle
#

Splatter as?

thin dagger
#

for some of the lingering water that isnt part of the wave, usually where some of the foam or "white" parts

#

kinda notice how theres some water that isnt really "connected" to the wave, esp at the top if you zoom in

#

if that makes sense

fleet gazelle
thin dagger
#

yep!

#

it doesnt have to be to that extreme since this is a smaller wave but a lil would be cool!

fleet gazelle
#

So just do more of this but in a line in front of the main wave?

thin dagger
#

yeah!! that would def work ๐Ÿ‘Œ

candid citrus
#

are you going for realism or stylised frozen ?

fleet gazelle
#

Well since everyone is doing gen 8 art I thought I would join in and Hershey wanted the water starter so Iโ€™m doing that

thin dagger
#

that looks more like a hand than a foot

unreal stream

That cant be a foot

pastel iris
#

I wasn't using construction lines for that, it's not properly drawn o.O

#

*quote from 10 artist mistakes video : didn't use construction lines

lament turtle
#

as long as you are well familiar with anatomy, there is no need for construction lines. they are still helpful though

pastel iris
#

what counts as 'familiar with anatomy?' everytime I draw anything with anatomy, I always left my paper blackened because countless use of eraser SDVPufferFear

empty ocean
#

you should instead study anatomy part to part instead

mighty bronze
#

Here's a thing,don't be afraid to use the other part of your pencil because the fact that you admit you weren't right and drew something in the wrong way will help you to improve faster

Yeah but a space is more realistic

not if youre good at organizing your kitchen

should i make the faucet darker? seems kinda light to me looking at it

i think the one with the space looks nicer! the other one is a little cramped, however, overall, its not very noticeable i wouldnt stress over it

i was thinking of putting pokemon gym-badge 'magnets' on the fridge - which ones do you think are the most recognizable? ๐Ÿค”

coarse sun
#

i really like the ones from x and y personally

#

the fairy and psychic badges are my favourite

#

but if youre going for recognisable then the classic ones from the anime would be your best bet

fleet gazelle
#

Nu not the pokemon anime

#

But yea I did recognise the fairy cause I guess I โ€œlikeโ€ the gym?

worldly totem
#

the gym is SO pretty

crude reef
#

thoughts? im worried it looks too 'pixely' if you know what i mean... i know it's not exactly supposed to mimic something realistic since it's pokemon based but still sigh

#

still have to draw the little oven thing

fringe gyro
#

too blurry, maybe?

crude reef
#

yeah sigh

#

i feel like it doesnt match the sink

#

that or it isn't shaded right so it can match

#

or both dlskjf

fringe gyro
#

that looks much better tho

#

but yeah, maybe add some shading to the middle so it looks deeper?

#

not that burners are deep

#

if it's electric it won't be deep at all

#

but gas stoves have a lil indent?

crude reef
#

changed up the sink center color

#

but idk if the other one is better or not so ill keep the layer

most apps are generally made to be used ๐Ÿ‘€

True

echo mesa

I might switch to photoshop entirely once I get an art tablet
Easier to use paint.net until then

mighty bronze

i mean i'm much comfortable with it meowgiggle

I like photoshop, just easier to get lines in paint.net via mouse lol

ah i see

In an artists folder u are likely to find: File with shit tonne of Layers

some digital artist still mix with the traditional rule

and only do 1 layer

which is effective for painting area

Personal preference again, nothing bad about depending on layers

slender mist

o.o i used to write story

I just cant be bothered doing lineart

mighty bronze

smh i can't find the reference for Dragon ball Sam idea i hav FlailFlail

#

ah nvm found it

empty ocean

i often just quick sketch with weak weight , if it is a bit messy or dark i make it light and draw the lineart

#

in the same layer

#

i don't bother with the lineart much either lol

mighty bronze
#

doing the sketch and line art in the same layer?

#

wew

echo mesa
#

I used to lineart, then once In A Land Long Ago, a Lad went, 'wot if no lines'
I went 'yeh, aight,' and never did line art again

empty ocean
#

if you control your weight

#

yea it can be in 1 layer

slender mist

...

empty ocean

many artist i know do 1 layer both sketch and lineart

So many artists

Is photoshop Good for animation?

I wanna try animation eventually, but like
Wow effort, better doing that once I have an art tablet

he has a bob cut

the foot seems normal to me SDVPufferthink

I mean it is front view, what's wrong with that?

I dunno its just a bit.. strangely shaped to me

pastel iris

like it's against your style of drawing?

Kind of..?

#

Ill try to draw it a bit bigger

pastel iris

that's quite hard to determine by myself xD I've seen an art that's bearing quite resemblance to your leg

that's why I said it's normal

Yeah im trying to follow a guide ๐Ÿ˜…

But im drawing the foot in myself, since they just didnt actually do a foot in the guide

Also, i think i noticed what made it so off-putting

All i had to do was raise the ankle a tiny bit higher

@pastel iris Emily seems average to me. like, size-wise xD

good art!

@thorn pulsar judging on her sprites, I'm kinda changing my mind she's actually the one with the best asset among other bachelorettes lol

Well jade wrote a small essay

unkempt tinsel
#

i wanted to put it in a document but ended up with bboard

#

it took me like 2 hours to write so y'all better read it

#

but i hope i was able to address the common stuff

austere talon
#

It was a fun read for sure

unkempt tinsel
#

thank u

onyx island
#

Yeah I read it all, it was very interesting

brazen lark
#

ye^^

#

also i think usin discord's search function and limit it to img+in:creative might make things easier for sdv art to not get accidentally missed

#

as long as it doesnt like, glitch out like it sometimes does kdfjghdf

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah it's something i should try to do more at least. i should be clear tho that at least 5 staff members go through #creative [not at the same time or anyth] so it is fairly hard for us to miss something. it's more likely that we aren't sure it's sdv related

#

we might encourage people to do a format to make it easier, like, a simple format, but it's something we'll have to talk about. i just.... i dunno, i don't like people to do art specifically to get pinned and that's what it feels like. that's my opinion though, i want people to be able to share and have the art gallery as just a bonus

#

rock and a hard place when it comes to art gallery and how exactly to handle it, but at least we are clearer about it

#

on that note i also simplified the pin in #creative a LOT

#

but of course there have been cases of someone clearly describing sdv art an we miss it, that system isn't perfect either but we'll continue to improve with it

pastel iris
#

then I'll make essay for all my arts, so it could easily noticed by junimos SDVPufferDab

onyx island
#

Can't stress enough to tell the bouncer or any of the junimos in case they missed SDV art to pin, I had a few pieces missing but they had no problem pinning them when I asked about it

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah of course

#

we aren't doing favoritism or whatever, i feel like when it's an anonymous survey, people think this is the perfect platform to call us out on bias

pastel iris
#

by the way jade, I'm gonna reconfirm about something

unkempt tinsel
#

when literally you could always ask us something or remind us and we will be more than happy to do that, and more likely to pay more attention

#

sure

pastel iris
#

is it really okay to draw bunny girls? what I mean is playboy bunny girls outfit lol

unkempt tinsel
#

as long as it's not sexualized/posed sexually you can post a bunny girl

#

if you're unsure if it's appropriate you can message us and we'll let you know

pastel iris
#

I literally holding my drawing atm

#

well actually you could scroll the chat up

#

I've posted it

unkempt tinsel
#

the emily looks fine

pastel iris
#

I got it noted then, playboy bunny girls is okay

unkempt tinsel
#

it can depend on the drawing so i wouldn't say all of them are allowed

pastel iris
#

I know, like nip slip, tons of unnecessary details in vital parts, ahegao face, etc

#

I didn't do it

#

I've asked bouncer before but I didn't give a clear explanation if it is 'playboy bunny', just in case to avoid misunderstanding lel

unkempt tinsel
#

like a bunny suit is a bunny suit, if you don't sexualize it then it's fine

wise geyser
#

what about

#

swim suits with extra fan service

onyx island
#

the "extra fan service" might be problematic haha

wise geyser
#

hnn yeah haha

#

ive actually never drawn anyone in a swim suit before

pastel iris
#

ooof, it's pretty hard to determine the point of view of sexualisation without asking directly, some people said playboy bunny outfit is sexualised yet oddly consider suggesting poses are okay, some think of the opposite, some think both of them are sexualised o.O

unkempt tinsel
#

swim suits are fine, but again, don't do sexual poses or add sexual details

#

server's guidelines are: sexy okay, sexual not okay

pastel iris
#

so jade, I'm sorry that if you found it disturbing that I will keep continue to ask about probability of sexualised on bouncer, because I have no other way lol

unkempt tinsel
#

we'd rather people be careful than post something really risky and get in trouble for it

#

so ask all you want

devout stream
unkempt tinsel
#

yep that's fine

devout stream
#

this is from 2016 i wanna perish

unkempt tinsel
#

it's about the context of the picture too

#

we would allow a person in a swimsuit on the beach over a person posing on a bed in a swimsuit

#

you've improved a lot key but i think it looks pretty good tbh

#

so like, a drawing of emily in a bunny suit doin peace signs with her hands or whatever

is different from a drawing of emily in a bunny suit grabbing her tiddies and having her leg spread

#

catch my drift now

devout stream
#

thanks hehe

pastel iris
#

even if a person is actually sleeping with swimsuit? SDVPufferthink

unkempt tinsel
#

depends on how the picture is but really why woudl you draw someone in a swimsuit on a bed, nothing else but them on the bed, and intend for it to be innocent
