i made 3 people so far
lani, kitty and pyro

o3o
wanted to try out the doggo thing!!
each of these took like 10 min so proportions are a bit wacko
they look so Soft
Its nice to see that Creative is lively as ever! 
In September, I think there's like... Huevember
Or, wait, that might be November. Sorry 😅
i think i've seen sketchtember?
september has 30 days so maybe you could do a 30 day challenge
I've only heard of Inktober :>
Which is ... October, with the spooky scary prompts, at least, that's usually the case for Inktober
ive seen spooktober but idk
Same, Inktober is the only one I know
I MISSED PEI DAY
Goretober is a personal fave
I’ve heard sketchtember but idk any sept specifics outside of that
there a bunch if you google
I’m trying to convince my boyfriend to see scary movies with me and somehow this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/456326447427223553/612350512364519424/image.png didn’t work 😦 what I do wrong
Peep the big popcorn
awwwww
your sketch is so cute
compromise and see a thriller instead? ;o
but omg that's so cute ;u; i love couple drawings aaaaa
i love when you get really into a project and realize you DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT YARN COLOR
contest wip how i do
beautiful
Very good, actually
That looks great
ngnghhgnnghfhaaaaaa fanart
i love the lines but i wish i had colored him
i just. Cant Get Colors
oh it looks great!
could you do a clipped overlay layer to change the colors of the lines?
you can separate lineart from the background by using a function
i'll do it for you if you want
Boof I want to learn gradients on digital art
Gradients? That's not too hard. Which program you use
Sketchbook for iOS
Okay, Autodesk Sketchbook actually has a built in gradient tool. Press the paint bucket and select the linear fill or radial fill ( the two boxes with the gradients on them) and then press the area you want to fill in ( you might need to adjust the tolerance or sample all layers ), and then select which color you'd like to use.
Oh wow I didn’t know that existed
Also you should drag around the area you've filled to change the height of the gradient
guys what should i do for the bg
is she like a witch?
alchemist
maybe a forest
@ Keychain#0001
Hey guys, I'm thinking of making a portrait mod for Stardew but like... Idk if there's a set resolution that portraits have to be or whatever?
Idk help how do I start -
You should be able to open the original game portraits, and find the dimensions that way
At least that's what I did
meteorite party
Oh, got it! Thanks!!
I wanna learn how to do pixel art. I plan on getting asperite . Any tutorials on how to start?
Apparently it’s not called asperite
Ummm does anyone have the name of that pixel art creator
Nvm found it
@digital garden you made me very happy, thanks for sharing your lovely creation
Ayy no problem
I may comm someone if anyone has comms open.
Lots of people do 😄
I kinda want some Krobus, because he muh buddy.
@lament turtle very cute drawing. How do you feel adding a shadow underneath the characters, perhaps that grounds them better in the scene
Thanks! That could work, normally I don't add shading but I'll do it for this one
Yea I wouldn’t go overboard with it if it’s not your thing, but just where they’re standing.
Otherwise add a little bit more snow around their feet so it looks like they’re sinked a bit.
Might also do the trick instead of shadows
I love the use of purple
Agreed on them sinking into the snow, otherwise I think it looks good :)
Oh, the sinking, I forgot about that!
😄
Ta-da!
Damn that snowball to the face looks painful
such a good scene!!
Yep. RIP Haley
And thank you!! Tbh I'm a little too hyped for winter, since autumn is only just beginning
Also if you finished you should post it in #creative so it can get added to the gallery
Oh, yeah, true!
@lament turtle omg omg omg!!!! SO good ❤
Thank you aaaa!!
WIP want to make Leah look at a butterfly like she just got distracted whilst painting
Ooh, nice!! I really like it
👀
3H hiatus over
back to streeeesssss
I can feel the tension
We can cut it with a knife
Would like some criticism
Also, fun fact, this took me like 8 tries because my crappy camera wouldnt focus on the hand :)
That looks fine
i have no criticism about the form of the hand: it looks good! but it might be good to try to draw lighter next time when trying to draw a hand to better erase and get the small details of the hand
@pastel iris cool abby piece!! ping me when its done please
i drew a stinky fan
@devout stream
I have that already planned ahead 

Wip from movie night :Y

ALABAKABSKDDBDKS
Too good just to be in discussion
PS : the art is done but I don't have the permission to post the clean one yet since this is a commission
looks hella good
whoever commissioned that got a good af deal
Eric I’m geussing?
if one of you require the wallpaper version, state the resolution of the your screen and I'll have the art to fit your screen
state the px x px lmao
Idk what px i have
not just 'mobile' 
ówò
google up your phone then
1080 x 2160
noted
That looks really cool!! i a wip you posted earlier too and it's stunning! I love the pose, her face and the mummies
Nice job az!!
Az did an amazing job and more with what I had asked them to do! Soooo sooo good! Thank you so much again Az 😄
Current WIP
wow, and them legs
Idk what to draw today
froot
Tiddies
Idk what tiddies are
illegal in this chris ian server
I'd put the doubt emoji if I had nitro right now lol
a Mood
I’m too gay and enby to know what a tiddy is
i wish that were a mood
My form didn’t come with any so assembly required
wonk
draw dogs
I might try this
Lineart done. It only took me forever.
Need to get stuck into colouring so its all dark and moody.
Lineart alone doesnt do it justice
thats pretty neat, who are they?
Gay
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to masculinize the face? https://imgur.com/a/WB9GT9R
square jaw
Working with the top left one and then moving
his face is smooth and round like a woman's rn lol
I used robin as a base so am altering him since I want him to look like her brother
i know
Thanks for the suggestion will try. I really suck at this
youre good omg!! dont doubt your abilities
Haha, I just made alterations on a base and then copied Pierre's jacket
https://imgur.com/a/BNGhUfA Better but still off
And something about the neck is annoying me
Vanilla robin kinda obscures it with her hair but either she’s slouching her neck weird or her head should be further to the right
One must appreciate how a song sounds with out the melody
oh i like that
@lament turtle Robin and Serra from FE. Just a dumb idea I had since I have them as partners in Heroes.
Guys I got aseprite. I’m working on my first thing now
Hey. Newbie here. Anyone know of any cute SV cross stitch patterns?
There is a book!
Cross stitching is so fun!
I've also seen a few on etsy
lineless art is hell 
Ava your work is always so nice
Ooooh thanks slowlins I'm gonna check that out!

It's super cute 
Oof i should do more crossstitching now that ive got a few more colours
the colours ❤
I knowww I love the colors in this one
I'm really excited about how it should turn out
same! Feel free to ping me on process and when it's finished (if you don't I understand :P)
I'll try to remember!
It feels satisfying, even if it's only a little bit XD
If I forget just ask I'll share!
(yea don't worry too much)
It is so satisfying to watch it fill out
❤
You do it very neatly as well. I've watched people do it before, I know it takes forever.
I appreciate it when people take on projects like that.
I just have to find a pattern I really love. The person I bought this pattern from does such a good job
Sometimes there are stretches where I dont work on it much but it will be done in a few months I think
Ooh that stitching is really pretty. I'm working on a big gen 1 pokemon piece at the moment
I'm on page 3/34 or something 😭
This big ones are so painful sometimes!
Finished product from last night
that's very cute
holy shit thats cool
Will it be for sale afterwards
or is it for personal use
It's for personal this one :) will probably take a few years to complete lol
The pattern is available online though
how long has that taken so far ?
wait that is Epic
If you Google pokemon gen 1 cross stitch you should find it. I think they have to other gens too
And I'm not sure so far to be honest. I've been doing it between other things. I think I started it last year but haven't stitched it for a good few months now lol
@pulsar sky thats soooooo awesome!!!
Thanks :)
Glad you approve.. this is going to be for Stardew Valley Expanded
Ooooo I've seen that pattern and not been brave enough t ok do it!!!
Good job!
I'm a wimp and do individual pokeman
How big is that aida cloth tho
It's like a meter square or something NG crazy. I've got it all pegged up haha
Haha. Yea sometimes I put it down and don't even look at it for months
Saaame, you gotta be in the mood
Another theme has been added to the SVE music pack
Have some pats @tawny kelp
does anyone have placeholder icons until i get a proper icon
for my twitter art acc
kgjzfcsz
im slowly being more motivated to do more sam fanart
please do
The patch work, I mean you said it was a big one but holy moly xD
Nice work
Another song is done x3
Baller stitch work that must have taken ages to get there alone
oh dam those are incredible
cauliflower, onion, parsnip, strawberry, potato, coffee bean, melon, sweet gem berry?, tomato, radish, pepper, red cabbage, starfruit, corn, pumpkin, ancient fruit, eggplant, artichoke
Whatever mod that is I need to add it to my collection because that is beautiful
Oh holy hell that isn't a mod
I love it
That's how nature should be
i think the "sweet gem berry" is a 2nd variant of the melon
like how the cauliflower has a 2nd variant
if any of yall know how to do custom crops, you could definitely contribute to helping the creator make it work!!
jsonassets custom crops is one thing. getting actual giant crops is another. i dont know how to do those
vanilla giant pumpkin is perfect and unbeatable
the mega crops are awesome
not sure where to put this but I also redrew a lot of assets from bonster's JA mods for myself
im gonna see about getting permission to share them as a mod along with redraws I'm gonna do of some vanilla sprites and other JA mod sprites
Collection of music for Stardew Valley Expanded Music Pack
I am still thinking of one more song.. but here's the 6 songs I made for it so far
@rich delta
tried to make an italian cut wedding suit but.. idk if this looks italian enough 
right, I actually forgot to draw the button 
you could also add a bow tie maybe
oh yeah you did forget that aha
you should also add a pocket or something with a cloth
iirc i've seen those in suits
not sure if bowtie is kinda mandatory for wedding suit, the pose would be a waste if I changed it to bowtie anyway 
idk, i've seen both bowtie and tie
@bitter canyon there is mods for those lol
true
just earlier today i saw a mod that replaced the farmers legs with a mermaid tail
whats the walking animation then lmao
since i didn't want to install JA, my long elf ear recolors mod is an xnb
it doesn't replace any hats but just adds some
you have to just cbj to spawn the ears into the game tho lol
but it's so worth
and snick omg
i have no idea HAHA
i just imagine it's like some fish that's not in water flopping around 😂
oh my god
anyways I'll get your input noted for now, until I hear rio's advice
preview
thinking about finally doing stardew valley art
thinking about neon outline only junimos.....
huh, what is that?
its a preview for a reason
yeah i just don't know what it is lmao
anyways here is my (kinda pathetic) first attempt at a junimo
filling a screen with these would be fun.....
oh nice
i really dont know how to do junimos that look bigger or smaller than the one i drew
so it wont be like that
@pastel iris it looks great! The trademarks of Italian cut are fitted at the curve of the waist and arms so there is to be minimal bagginess there. However the pockets are supposed to be flap less (unless that's the detailing of the open pocket seamwork), and I have to say good eye on the George lines!! When you do draw the button, don't forget it'll also be high up. Good work so far. o/ are you going for more a Neapolitan cut?
@rich delta I've no idea of neapolitan cut lmfao, what's the difference with italian cut? xD so about the pockets are just.. lines and thats it?
also what is george lines lmao
too many fashion terms I've no idea of 
Neapolitan style is a type of Italian cut suit, deriving from Naples. And yeah pretty much with the pockets, just lines. George lines are the upper flaps of the suit! The triangles near the neck.
@rich delta just making sure, the red question mark is the upper flap right?
Yepyep
well, seems the upper flap is actually missing eh 
Some suits don't have it tbh especially Italian cut bc they're so high up
Like here (a bit hard to see bc of the sewing pattern on the flap looking like there's two but it's actually not the hem of the flap)
No probs! I'll get some
also maybe if you have any opinions to make the vibe of the suit to be more.. wedding suit than business suit?
sometimes I just can't differ them 
See how it's right where the flaps meet, under the tie, instead of under or at the waistline? That's a higher button
so what about lower button?
Oh if this is a wedding you want the jacket open
There usually is no lower button being used tbh
nah it's all good, I want to make this dude as hot as possible 
so the question is, do I need to redraw the waist lines?
or just let it stay the same?
If it's going to be open, they won't be as fitted, so yes
If you decide in the end to keep it closed, though, they seem fine to me
kyuu, how'd you get the item pics?
noted, thanks rio I'll come back later 
current Leah WIP XD I might never finish
oooh looks awesome so far!!
Agreed!!
i never finished this painting rip
that's so cool and cute omg!!
the cow one was vanilla strawberry, the unicorn one was coconut if i remember correctly
what's an aggie tho?
The cakes are cool but the painting !!! Mucchhhhhhhh love for that style ❤
oh! like skribbl? i'm sure you can, just not sure which channels tho
oh thanks wirchdoctor 
more tweaks
thanks ^^
Next time I'll do my homework again and actually use references. It's actually very incorrect but that's the 'it's never perfect' voice 😛
I'm trying to practice digital drawing, but not lose my 'traditional style'.
The imperfections are meant to make it more appealing to the eye. But it's hard XD
Soon I need to let the body go and actually move on to colours and light and background. Since that's important to practice too.
Thanks for the motivation ❤
its good to be critical with yourself and your art, thats how you keep improving.. but honestly i think you're doing amazing! :))
im biased for B 👀
I dunno kinda like A
i like a
Oke
Anyone has any knowledge of tutorials or experience of making acylic stands (mostly from zap creative?) thanks!
They're a god but they're also very squishy
nice
squishy god 
Their name is Xydry and they are an amorphous, genderless ball of magic that likes to make small creatures out of goo.
They cast favor on all forms of art because creating things is vvv good to them
I can’t think of a good comp for my ghost hunter idiot 😭 should I give up and draw dnd instead??
D r a w d n d
Never give up
I'm on a big dnd kick rn since I'm working on a big campaign
That's what Xydry up there is for lol
Ooo nice
I was never happy with my cleric so im gonna do some redesigns maybe
Or at least do smth with them proper
Ooooh I remember them from Tumblr! They have wings over their eyes right?
I think you said they were an Aasimar but I don't remember
Sorta! They’re aasimar but I decided to go full angel with them instead of the pretty pale aesthetic they normally have
Seraphim angels are horrifying and I love them so why not u kno
Honestly angelic depictions more in line with how the Bible describes them are fascinating
Because they're supposedly absolutely TERRIFYING
I think I gotta give them a skeevier pose cause the posing is what irked me the most
RIGHT
love angels cause I always make them horrifying
"Hey lol I'm a messenger of God don't be scared"
Horrified screaming
"Bro...."
I’ve got an au for one of my ocs where he’s an angel but has a whole ring of faces and it’s a good time
YES
Aaaaaa
Yall legitimately made me research angels
i got interested
I need to suck it up and start practicing figure drawing and what have you
Angels are the best
i'm hungry
drawing stuff for myself for the first time in like 2 months i've just been,,,,,,,,,,,, juggling comms and art to sell and bleghghhh ((ALSO KATSUU I HAVENT FORGOTTEN ABOUT UR COMM DONT WORRY))
ah yes the real shane,,
KRED oh I missed you
lovely arts and hope things are well :)
ty bro
@raven mural That song is really good! Do you have more than those two songs on your SoundCloud?
And great work @warm otter!
Thank you!!
@rich delta
please tell me if I got the hang of it 
time for coloring : )
dont know if i should even color it
im so tired
i spent days on this silly patern
https://imgur.com/a/lKZt3jr think this looks good?
The yellow ones I am trying to turn into a hug
i like em
yeah i know but
i dont know i wanted to make it that way
make everything look different
if i were to copy and paste it would just look lazy
thats programing u fool
..?
@pastel iris lookin good 
i am so unfunny but. Somehow this makes me laugh
they are afraid, for this being shoudnt be allowed to touch earth.
"Uh.., thanks for the gift, what is it?" he shakes small drake and he and starts making feral noises
NOT KANYE TOO
ye
meaning they arent holding anything being cropped out by drake over there
also woahh
i think thats a no no word
hey just doiung some pixel art
any constructive criticism?
robin walked outside and then to hte lake i think she's scared
I’m sorry but if you’re making a meme or joke this channel is probably not the right place to post

:((
soy probably just means it comes across as kinda meme-y bc who hoes dirt to make pixel art in an unironic way?
i'm joking. i'll post in #images-and-memes next time i just thought it'd be funnier if it was in this channel
hoeing your farm in such a way that it'd look like pixel art actually sounds like a sick idea
@tired wagon yeah i do, my main account is http://www.soundcloud.com/seikatsuuu
Thanks!
Guys look at this old art i did 2 years ago
if they're talking about the small drake then I actually did draw it but I just replaced something meaningful with small drake
Also above is really cute
Does anyone here do pixel art?
anyone with the pixelsmith tag does i think
pixelsmith is for people who make mods with original pixel artwork
dm bouncer maybe
I was just about to do that
Oh thanks
Im dying inside already
LONG BOYS
portrait of a upcoming custom npc(plus the initial sketch because i can't stop giggling at it)
oh HECK i just realized i forgot her vitiligo
lol love that initial sketch
Thank you!!! when i zoomed out and took a look at the sketch i died of laughter inside
aaaand here's the fixed ver. with vitiligo
oh cherry that’s cute!!! i lov them
I am now aware of how overlays work.
Im actually gonna enjoy colouring for once.
woahh
doc that's really good! :)
i think the umbrella should be a bit more visible though
No worries, I'm only messing around to experiment. I'm so unused to how they work that I wanna mess around with them lmao
Once my base colours are in properly I'll make sure the umbrella is more transparent - and that the colour of it has an effect on her as well
ah okay
Should I draw cute retro Halloween clowns or spoopy slime person
And if slime boy, girl, or enby
definitely a spoopy slime boy
spoopy slime anything
lol
i'm scrEECHING
I caint draw tonite!
workin on a lil edit of gigi’s wizard to match this golden boy i found in naver ... is guud
very much a wip
but lol
god i love gigi's stuff,,,,
gigi's morris gives me life and is the only skinny anime boy morris mod i accept
cuteeeeee
do u guys have any example of junimos u have drawn?
also kred thats pretty perfect
i need to figure out how to make them not uncanny looking without mouths
nvm putting their eyes lower made it better
I don't think you need to adjust it, Kred. It looks accurate enough.
just slightly
i will!!
and mm do ya think this strays too far from the source sprite?
I know pupils aren't in the right directions compared to the sprite but it looked hella whack having them be too far apart?
I know thats the intent but it didnt look super good
I think it looks better with the eyes like that
not a huge fan of the bugged out eyes lol
^
i like hands but a bit smaller
or reg shoulders
hmm either shoulders up or with hands
hands but a bit smaller
yeah that one looks the best
I cant draw tonight so i doodked lesbeans
im trying to do his neutral expression and he keeps looking the lovechild of stingy from lazytown and the pillsbury dough boy
either this or he looks blazed
no in between
why is it his neutral expression giving me the most trouble bro...
@devout bridge your art makes me happy on a deep level 😄 thank you
too cute 
those little hands I luv it
i did a little more work on that 8bit reskin thing i started like 10,000 years ago because i was bored and recovered the file
gl
all the colours are directly sampled from the sprite, including outline colours
any midtones are from blending two colours
crit appreciated
looks good 
kred i love the way you did this one!!
it looks so soft
i honestly can’t think of any crits
ty! Do ya think it'd work decent for a hi res portrait?
i personally think so yeah!
looks good enough for one
My current plan with Morris for my um m make morris marriage candidate mod

the, the Make Morris a Marvelous Marriage candidate Mod. or MMMMM for short
Is have his portraits, personality, everything change depending on if you went Joja Route and ||he stayed in town|| or CC ||and kicked him out||
I was thinking CC route he would kind of mellow out a bit more than he would if the player went Joja route
But I don't know how villainous I want him to be on Joja route?
I know some players won't want to romance him and would rather just stay buddy buddy with him in Joja route so its like hrm
well he is kinda made to be seen as the villain i guess?
but if they go ||old fashioned way|| how would you make that work?
||He gets fired from his job in Zuzu and has to move back into the Valley where it's more affordable for him||
||No matter which outcome occurs in the CC completion scene||
so basically once CC is done, he leaves joja and becomes a villager?
He's a villager either way. He comes back into town after CC not because he wants to but because he has to, and with Joja he has a different personality and different heart events.
(He's written as two separate NPCs in the files.
that's neat.
I think if you build up hearts with him then he'd try to be less villainous.
Yeah?
In CC route the plan is to have him be bitter but develop over time.
I'm not sure about Joja route though?
Never played joja so I'm not sure how he treats the player off the bat
Joja route spoilers ||Nothing.||
haha okay
||He doesn't become an interactable NPC. You can't talk to him apart from him showing you the completed joja form.||
||He has less dialogue than before.||
that's a bit strange
guess you'd have a lot of room to do what you want with the character then
mhm

dope
what do you think for clothes colors? i was thinking something dull but not sure on specifics
i can see a lighter blue or cream, maybe?
There is a smaller nose buried under the larger nose >> I'm not sure I like it because of the stitching seam around it I'm hoping when I get a white fabric marker I can blend it in with the paint
hallo, anyone know where i can get a blank template for the stardew dialogue box?
as well as the font style mayhaps?
nvm, am gud
awesome
Thank
hey
is anyone here able to do a commission for me?
it's a fairly big project and the deadline is the 30th, I know it's not much but I'm desperate rn
lots of people with "comms open" in their name, try searching by that
um,,, if it's for work or something then idk how that would go down
also depends on the type of commission
oh 😄 😅
I have a plan for the cake
but I'm so busy with everything else rn I can't draw it myself
i want....more people to play dnd with......
pick me
👀 cause i realised i can update my current dnd clown to fit the new clonn race
bruh if you know any dms/people who wanna learn to dm then im all in. i'm not smart enough to
oh heck yeah
me too
huehue i can play pre-vamp baboso im so excite. i gotta redesign an asshole
before anyone else asks btw I found an artist lol
also
can we just have a D&D channel in this server so we can just... all be nerds
should i work on postcard, dnd redesign [either kid lmao], or work on smile for me oc that i've been struggling with 😩 i want to draw but i have too many idea
👀 have u played
smile for me
oh i c
is anyone here joining that sdv/pokemon rp group
@lone mountain sdv/pokemon WHAT

excuse me what
theres a sdv themed pokemon gijinka rp group
making creatures in GAN
that's dope
Are there any good tutorials on youtube for aseprite
why not just search youtube and see
Habby belated birthday relle u dumb piece of poo
i love ur cuphead art so much
Ty 😭😭
art is hard and dumb and im going 2 fight it
i mean
valid
but also mood
ay is art commissions worth doing?
depends what you're gonna do/how much you're looking to make
cause no one lives off of commissions. its not feasible. 😰 but paying for immediate things? sure
im just looking for something to do with my art, everyone wants me to do an etsy shop
eh if you do an etsy you'd need to make the merch yourself
if you do commissions then its just a one off illustration which is nice and can be as simple as you need it to be
unrelated but big weh since someone and i have similar ocs 8( i wanna scrap mine now and start over but im invested in my dumbass
yeah im not sure what I would even sell on esty anyway
y'all
any of u got any tips for drawing faces diagonally? ;-;
im..not sure what u mean
like,,, diagonal angle
look at refs?
i cant wait to do my next sam art man
yeah, refs. i can't really imagine what u mean
jev how dare u make me care about mullet boy
smh the worst
also by diagonal do u mean 3/4?
bruh someone compared how i draw his hair to some mullet character in stranger things and it made me feel bad 😔
asdjaks yea, 3/4! sorry, i have weird terms for things ;;
The hard truth is that only if you're popular you'll get commissions left and right at decent prices.
Be prepared to get only two-three commissions for MONTHS, or hardly none at all. Try to sell yourself out hard - draw anything and everything with a good fandom with a good demand.
But don't expect to sell commissions for like 100$ a piece right off the bat. But don't sell your art for 5$ a piece either - you're too talented for less than minimum wage.
Be prepared to think that your art is shit. That nobody wants to buy from you. That people look over your hard work only to buy from someone else. Be prepared for the worst thoughts.
But dont give up!! That's the important part.
haha my art is even worse
I bet esty is not much better in that regard
I doubt I'll be able to get enough to for it be considered a 'job.'
sigh
ah, yes
a sad person
ppl are complaining on commiss too expensive and other artist complaining on cheaper commiss, i ve seen this kind of drama
:0
Expensive commissions should be normalised tbh
Art isn't a necessity so you want a luxery pay luxery prices and tip 👏 yo 👏 artist 👏 👏
It's difficult to price your art "correctly" i'm not even sure how much should i charge myself
For me to do any commission, I'd need to charge a large anxiety fee because they always stress me out so much even though everyone's been cool before
I just can't do them really
My commissions aren't near the price they should be but I'm baby and can't justify big number 
Same, Fee
i thought about starting to do commissions for greeting cards... like personalized birthday cards and things like that but idk
i always do them for free for my friends and family lol
Yeah cards are fun! I’m working on one thing for Halloween rn
My rule of thumb with pricing commissions is that you shouldn't go any lower than minimum wage
So like... Consider how much time you take to do your art, break it down into hours if you can, then go something like $10 per hour
Then once you get more demand for your commissions, you can go higher (considering what your audience can afford ofc)
Idk, it doesn't apply to all art necessarily but I think it's decent if you're just starting out
Sweats
The only coms I think I price decently are my simple character ones but everything else is a disaster lol
Money is an annoying yet necessary topic for Artists. Brent Noll and Maximus Pauson explain Negotiation and Pricing for Digital Artists and animators. Enjoy!...
I can't do commissions due to my physical illness stuff preventing good work load.
But I found this video very useful. Hopefully it will help others too
❤
But what do ya do if you dont get comms no matter your prices?
Cause its crushing to get one comm over the course of... 8 months now ive had comms open.
It makes me feel that Im charging too high.
30$ was my full body rate but im considering dropping it to 20$ because I'm desperate for work
no thats a solid price for full body
its not rly abt the price
its about constant advertising
once i stopped constantly advertising, i no longer got commissions LOL
sometimes it be like that
u sure? bc i have people saying that they want to commission me but they just dont
like i stg do i have to drop my prices more
Build and audience first
Nah I draw full for 50 and it’s slow but it trickles in enough
BC I did drop to 20$ recently for full body full coloured and shaded with no luck
And Im tempted to drop to 15$
Because I need money to live ya feel
You lose money that way though
Under min. wage if it takes you longer than an hour to sketch, draw, and colour
For me personally i couldnt expect commissions to replace my current job
I need any side income I can get to pay off my convention debt
kred what kind of art are you willing to do ? some communities are a lot more willing to pay for art if you advertise in the right places
Mm cant really do anime art. I do a fair bit of furry art and humans, unless that isnt what youre asking
Gotta agree with what was said above. It's hard work to keep a constant prescence and build your name until its recognisable enough that people come to you, before that its consistent advertising and working servers if you're gonna use discord like I do. Even if its just saying hello or joining in conversations. Its slow and hard. and you gotta keep looking for new outlets that want your type of art too.
if anything im just thinking my art isnt good enough for comms
Guys how does one draw arm
Tube w fingies at the end
Kred, keep a good price.
Your art is worth it.
I hope times will change.
The advice given here is pretty good and I applaud you for sharing your difficulties.
There’s other ‘quick’ incomes as well that might help you pay off your debt.
But please don’t under sell yourself. You’re worth it
@ebon briar I agree w the whole pushing your commissions thing. Your art is definitely priced well, but it might not be getting the attentions it needs to thrive, you feel me?
You should def consider drawing for active fanbases :) A lot of the time, fanart helps you get a lot of attention
And don't be afraid to look for people who need art done! Most of my commissions have come from people on Reddit who were looking for tattoo designers. They decided my style wouldn't suit a tattoo and asked for illustrations instead, which was honestly really helpful
Honestly you can find commissioners everywhere, but when you're starting out you won't get a lot of attention unless you make the first move. The worst people can say is no
It's tough, but you'll get there!! Your art is really good and definitely worth the money!
pricing my art by minimum wage was what finally made me quit doing comissions
i realized it just wasnt worth it
Aw man, really? That sucks :/
but if you really want to stick with commissions: easiest and highist paying work I ever did was stuff like custom game art, if that makes sense. I'm really good at mimicking styles and used to hang around pet sites and game forums a lot, and people will pay a lot for custom pet art or game mods
because it's more worthwhile to them to have something they can use instead of just a flat image they can look at
yeah i was gonna say, pet sites and game forums are great for commissions
the only time ive ever commissioned someone was on a pet site forum
Okay, so I need some help from color-savvy people, please. Would you classify these colors--at their simplest-- PURPLE, INDIGO, and VIOLET? Or VIOLET, INDIGO, PURPLE? Or something else?
the first
violet indigo purple
violet is on the bluer end of the purple spectrum
actually i would probably go purple purple purple
xd
yeah violet is bluer but indigo is even bluer
idk what pink purple is
wine purple
Wine purple is like... Very reddish
personally i've always seen violet as a slightly red-er version of purple,,, like i see purple as being in between indigo and violet. i think i might see it that way because rainbows are either thought of ending with indigo + violet or just purple, never swapped around because purple is too close to the other two on a palette to tell them apart in a rainbow
yea I think the term violet is used loosely sometimes
Thanks for your help!
Idk what im doing
I like the far right one
Thanks :> somehow the first video i clicked actually helped me lol
ughh why do i do this to myself
me: haha I have no talent with drawing
Yeah I was the same then I decided to practice 
wow maybe I should do that

Anyway I came here with a question:
I want to get back into using my colored pencils (the full set of prismacolors SHALL NOT JUST SIT) and I just watched a Do's and Don't's of using them to freshen up on what I had learned in class
However one thing they mentioned that is new to me is using solvent in order to really blend the pencils, and I loved the look of it afterwards
Does anyone have any experience with using solvent for colored pencils?
todays WIP
Abigail B6
@rich delta I've only done it with water, not any special liquid
It's a lot of fun, ultimately (for me) it comes down to trying it and see what happens.
oooh okay! i've never thought to do it with water bc i'd fear what that would do to the paper, wasn't sure if solvent acted differently with it or not
@solar sun wow it gets better and better!! so excited for the result
It might react a little better or worse depending the pencil.
If you struggle with printing paper, try one of those sketch pad things you can buy, generally they're a cheap option to get thicker paper.
Or go for aquarelle paper 🙂
@real flint ❤ thank you for the support. I'm curious where it will head as well. It's starting to look the part but I feel there's some more way to go 😄
i actually tend to use vellum paper with my colored pencil artworks! I haven't used printing paper in a v long time. I think I've heard of aquarelle paper--how is it different from vellum?
as for the pencils, they're prismacolor colored pencil and prismacolor watercolor pencils
(I have used vellum in the past but it's been a good long time)
Quoting this article:
'Besides having natural differences from piece to piece, vellum has a very smooth surface compared to even hot press watercolor paper. On one hand, that means that you need far less water and paint on the brush to leave a mark, while on the other hand, it's very easy to lift paint with too much water. '
in short: with aquarelle paper you can use more water 🙂
If I'm using water I use heavier weight paper or watercolor paper since I always have some on hand
You MIGHT be able to get away with cardstock but I wouldn't recommend lighter weight things
oohhh okay! i wanted to assume as such by the name alone, but wans't sure
and i do have a lot of watercolor paper on hand! i've been wanting to try out my niji watercolors so bad
and yeah all my cardstock is for my digital prints, i'd rather not use it for traditional
Ye
Awesomesauce 😄 Can't wait to see what you make of it.
decided to play around with depth of field posing or w/e is the right term for it im sorry i have approximate knowledge of these things but yeah
what i estimated to take me just ~1 hour took me like 2 tryna fix what kept lookin wrong 🙃
i love perspective and depth of field works .... bery epic
u would prolly use 2 point perspective rather than 1
since there are multiple vanishing points
wait
where would the other vanishing points be
see thats where i’m like Hm I Dont Actually Know despite the fact i was taught this
depends on what is most frontal and his limb placement
actually now that u mention it his left arm could use a lil vanishing with the sward
since its farther behind yes
it looks too flat
especially since he is leaning(?) in the space! it could shrink a lil ^__^
andakjsd
thanke lani ly
ur welc bebi
yeah he's lunging forward while swinging his sword
or dashing forward
it's 2am im gon sleep after this
@lavish thicket Can I make a little drawing on top of it to show you the vanishing points?
sure!
witch with the saving catch bc i cant remember how this shit work
i only remember reading bout this shit from my dad's prolly vintage ass how to art book 
50/50 overlap
overdraw with perspective
your work on the perspective grid
( I purposely didn't draw exactly the same thing but something with exaggerated features)

Also awesome stuff
you did?? i mustve missed it sorry
I like your work, so I will simply repeat it, because I’m certain you’ll do a cute job
thanks!!
@lavish thicket naww happy to wake up to your message.
I turned it into three point perspective from where your character was standing, but a spherical perspective, or Dutch angle might help give that kick to the design a bit better.
If you need more suggestions or want to fiddle around, let me know.
Otherwise I’m looking forward to what you make of it. ❤
@last crag thank you! It’s very cute
