thanks, i wanted something like it
and yes maybe one lighter color on some leaves, it will help avoid them looking all too similar too

but it looks very lovely, i look forward to the finished version!

I generated a random prompt because I wanted to draw something, and it was "A mother dragon protects her young"
whoa it's transparent I didn't know that 😂
unkempt tinsel
oh thats so neat! i love their expressions
for my writing pals: when you write about same sex couples, how do you get over the hell that is pronouns and making it clear who is doing the action
i have a decent enough variety but then i get to lines like "she rested her head in the crook of her neck" and im like uh oh spaghettio
thorn pulsar
@unkempt tinsel I just wing it and hope no one tells me I'm wrong. Like, swapping between names, pronouns, and descriptors without turning it into flowery word soup.
"Jill rested her head in the crook of her girlfriend's neck."
but I mostly do one perspective third person (I know there's a real name for it, can't think of it), where you can play with that expectation and get away with more.
unkempt tinsel
ooohhhh thank u for the insight, yeah i could probably do a bit more but i'll try to not overthink it and have a million diff descriptors
I'm trying to get better at descriptions and setting the scene so making it clear is definitely a goal of mine
thorn pulsar
I otherwise, across multiple clauses and sentences, try to keep a rhythm of "MC's name, GF's pronoun, GF's name, MC's pronoun" or "MC's name and GF's name, MC's pronoun and GF's pronoun" so that things are kept in a rough order that's easier to follow.
and you're welcome. c:
I also find it helpful to read it as if I wrote it with the parties reversed; if it still makes sense, it's probably not clear enough who's doing what.
unkempt tinsel
oh thats a great idea
thanks, i have a better idea of what to do now
like flippin a canvas when you're drawing
thorn pulsar
happy to help! and yeah, pretty much. or all the tricks to spot passive voice when you want to remove it.
devout bridge
U could use titles and descriptions in lieu of pronouns?
Like if they're a captain, farmer, blonde etc etc etc
unkempt tinsel
yeah im doin that a lil bit but i dont wanna overuse ot, tryin to find a balance. my writing style kinda fails in this regard since i like writing longer sentences, but this helps me structure better so it's a lot clearer at least
im having much fun tho, giving my ocs some proper screentime

I've got this problem where I'm looking for reference images, then see art of what I'm trying to do that's absolutely superior to anything I could do. And it takes the wind right out of my sails. Makes what I want to do seem much harder.

theyre made by well known emote artist like what
unkempt tinsel
hey guys, people are allowed to show copied/redrawn/traced/edited/etc. works here as long as they source the OG material. the artist in question hasn't really replied yet and let's always assume good faith when it comes to this stuff.
as for the ethics of doing so, probably not an appropriate convo for here and something better discussed privately
if you're ever concerned if someone is outright stealing art and claiming it as their own, that's better to let the junimos know since that is against the rules
kindred scaffold
I apologize.
arctic grove
Its commissioned work tho?
unkempt tinsel
yeah that's why i said this:
"as for the ethics of doing so, probably not an appropriate convo for here and something better discussed privately"
arctic grove
Okay
waxen magnet
Ye i based them on those, since that what i was asked for - not orginal artowrk, but based on those but altered for certain characters
On Discord many emotes become templates for new emotes - Ive seen mine orginal ones being redone to other chaarcters, and I am aware of it. If emote is good, other artists will use them for their own.
arctic grove
I follow k3lly, shes not okay with reuploads and traces of her artwork. Just dont want you getting in trouble 
unkempt tinsel
can you post the source of the originals arev? their twitter or something if they did all 3?
(i am not saying i don't believe you, it's just when someone posts work that isn't theirs in some capacity, there should be a proper source)
hard lynx
I think jade means like the artist on w/ever social media and not the source file oops
waxen magnet
3rd one was send to me by person who commisioned that one, and want different character version of it
unkempt tinsel
thank you for posting the originals. here is the artist (for at least the first two) https://twitter.com/K3llyArt?s=09
just to reiterate and i will go ahead and ping this since i noticed it's not in creative or creative discussion pins
*pin
i understand this wording may be confusing for some folks (rule 3)
3. Any art that isn’t yours MUST be linked back to its creator with a valid source (i.e. not Pinterest). Memes and official art don’t need sources. Do not claim any art that isn't yours. Check the pins in #creative for more information.
if you trace/copy/edit/whatever the art, and post it, that art is yours, however for this server and its rules, we ask that people always source their work if the core of the work was taken from something else. we do cover if you straight up post art that isn't yours, but tracing is a bit of a gray area and to set the record straight, this is the server's rules regarding such:
You can post traced, copied, or edited works if you provide the original work + the name of the artist, or any link that goes back to the artist.
This does not mean you have to source everything you use as a reference, it just means you should source something if the bulk of the work is from a piece of art that isn't yours. Art is extremely subjective and people are bound to have similar ideas-- do not target/call out/harass people you think might be stealing work and instead inform us so we can look into it and confirm that's the case. Assume good intent in people and post the source of the work if you know it-- we will delete work that is not properly credited. Every artist deserves credit, and every person deserves respect.
We understand everyone has a different view of what art should be allowed and how credit should be given, but hopefully this makes the server's stance clear . If you would like to give feedback about this guideline, however, you are more than welcome to. Thank you for reading.

heyo i need art help
im working on a canvas and i dunno if im ready to start painting
Its in black n white so u cn see the sketch better

I think it's hard for us to determine if your sketch is good enough for you to start painting on.
lament turtle
Update!! Magnus and Harvey are colored and detailed a bit. All that's left to do is the monsters in the bac and foregrounds and then shading and lighting and it will be complete
tawny lynx
Dang I wish Discord allowed the picture view to be bigger without opening the original.

i'm so heccin proud of that galaxy dagger and i fear shading and lighting
yeah, it sucks.
i mean im just asking if you guys think its finished or if i could tweak it in any way?
its for an art exposition at my school so i want it to be the best possible
tawny lynx
I need to adjust my monitor, I can hardly make it out.
lament turtle
oh im sorry i tried taking a good pic but since it was partially erased and all...
tawny lynx
The issue is that I don't know what the final picture will look like so I don't know if the sketch is enough.
arctic grove
Would be cool if there were multiple drips from the eye
lament turtle
it would be cool but thats not what im really going for
its basically a tear turning into a smaller stream falling into a river
arctic grove
Ohhhh
Thats dope
If thats the case should it get bigger as it goes further down the canvas?
Or big to small
hmhm
lament turtle
big to small
arctic grove
Yeah
Big to small
I cant tell ofc cuz its a bit erased xD so idk if its like that already
But i think it looks really nice
lament turtle
ooo good idea
arctic grove
Bc if the stream is blue it would sort of ‘blend’
lament turtle
very true!
also is the eyebrow...fitting? like does it seem realistic or is it like...too small or smth
tawny lynx
Oh see I thought it was an eye growing on a flower stalk.

What drawing app would you guys recommend?
Preferably free and able to trace over pictures because I like to draw on random pieces of paper and I'm not turning an entire photo to a drawing by hand
tawny lynx
Krita is a good free one, but some find the interface as having a learning curve. Medibang/Firealpaca are also good for a more anime-focused style, and yes I put the two together because they look and work very similarly.
Oh, I didn't know until now, but Medibang is actually based on Firealpaca, hence the similarities.
Anyways, there's also GIMP which is more like a free Photoshop alternative but it can be used for art and some prefer it over the more dedicated art programs.
Those are the ones off the top of my head and what people usually start with. When or if you decide to use a paid program, Clip Studio Paint is all the rage these days, and if you're on Windows, Leonardo is apparently a good one.
Clip Studio Paint frequently has decent sales.
If you want go go a bit less conventional, the free 3D modeling and animation software Blender has surprisingly decent art capabilities with the "grease pencil" function and they frequently improve it with updates.

They said app so that kind of throws me off a bit 
If ur looking for a MOBILE app, id say ibis paint, but im sure theres plenty of other great ones

What device would you be drawing on?
unkempt tinsel
you can use any program with no experience
the ones that pezzo recommended shortly above are all good suggestions and give you plenty to try out
programs dont really make your art better or easier, you just have to learn the tools each one has

I drew something non-work related for the first time in over 6 years. I forgot how annoying limbs and perspective and bendy bits are. 
Here’s a comic about my farmer hatching her first void chicken (I know you can’t tell it’s a void chicken, I didn’t want to bother with shading or color 
) ||also it took me three hours at work, don’t tell my boss||
Also, those pins are adorable AF

@azure python Hi there, please don't make such comments about another's art subject. Art is art regardless of what it portrays.
halcyon bronze
I feel like it may have been satirical but idk X)
Also I'd say most people here are at least good at art
tawny lynx
You can find the ones that are good by their crippling insecurities about said art.

Art is good if you learn something while making it. :> Even if it's a small something, or just learning muscle memory. ;3
tawny lynx
My skill-to-confidence curve is just teetering on the vast Valley of Being Better than Average But Also Starting to Know Where You Can Improve an Holy Crap It's a Lot.
halcyon bronze
To me, art is good if it makes my eyes happy lol
soft totem
That's good! Did you know that art-making improves in bursts, alternating between improving 'taste' (what you like) and 'skill' (learning how to make what you like). 8D
So sometimes, rather often actually, your taste and your skill won't be matched up. This sadly leads to a lot of artists getting discouraged.
lusty hull
My confidence is getting pretty good, because I'm learning to judge less and to practice more
tawny lynx
"I can make 3D models of weapons and vehicles, perhaps that's where I'll shine instead of 2D art."
Creates roughly humanoid thing that gets harder to look at as you work on it

It's a slow process to improve skill and positivity but it can be done
glacial fox
hi , I am an art struggler. My skill is above beginner 
lusty hull

I've seen your art blacky, its really good!!

if only my brain says the same , so shut up brain xD
rain olive
I say it for your brain!!
I mean it too
But its true, people often say it looks good and you just see all the faults lol
glacial fox
i am trying to bring what i visualized in my brain onto the canvas, so i only compare it with what i intended tbh
i see better artists as examples, so if I ever feel jealous, it would just be those that i am somewhat trying to compete with them

I wouldn't call myself good at all. To do that picture I posted last night I needed to have a model of it I downloaded in front of me in Blender as a reference. And several other reference pictures.
hard lynx
using references is for good beans
lusty hull
I always use many reference photos
ancient prawn
Good artists use references all the time
halcyon bronze
For some reason i always thought when i was younger that using references was a cheaty thing to do? No idea where that idea came from.
As if artists are expected to remember every detail about every object in existence lol...
devout stream

tawny lynx
"where Are the 3-cheese pizzas Shane"
glacial fox
it is possible to remember every details, but that is only if you have practice those things for so many times you can even remember. Visual library will take on from here, you basically have your own refs inside your head
urban minnow
A lot of young artists treat it like cheating. Some adults too
glacial fox
it is a narrow mindset tbh, i once had that too
calm tiger
Still not done. But I've done much of the colouring.
glacial fox
Drawing without reference is like taking a test that you don't know the answers 
calm tiger
If you asked me a few days ago if I would've been able to draw that, I would've laughed in your face.
urban minnow
Thats awesome 
calm tiger
Thanks!
arctic ingot
i always thought i sucked cause i cant draw without references
i mean i can but it's bad
cunning mountain
That looks awesome Nova! 
arctic ingot
agree! i think it would look better with a dark background
cunning mountain
Also, don't stress about it Eli! Professionals in the industry whether animation, illustration, etc rely on references a lot! In fact it's recommended to use references!
arctic ingot
i just thought my imagination sucked. tho it kinda does. but thanks
calm tiger
My friend told me about glow layers earlier and I immediately started having fun with it.
Then I started going back to previous drawings and adding glow to those as well.
glacial fox
glow dodge ?
calm tiger
I think it's called glow add.
glacial fox
ah, Add glow
calm tiger
Layers are quite a new concept to me. But now I can't imagine trying to draw without them.
Makes it so easy to change things without tearing the whole thing apart.
glacial fox
it is nice to work on a single layer sometimes as practice, it help you won't get too confuse with multiple layer on since you can also work more than usual on a single layer

@azure python I know I'm almost a whole day late but
Art is subjective. If you think Sonic art isn't art, you are entitled to your own opinion
But it's something I enjoy doing so to be honest, I don't care what your opinion is. Art is art. If it makes you feel something, anything at all (hate, annoyance, irritation all included), it's art.
Thank you. x3
Stay creative!

halcyon bronze
I low key love that video. The animation style always makes me giggle
Also, @calm tiger, I love what you drew! Against the white background, the harsh pointed shapes and jagged forms of the figure really pop. I'd say don't make the background too dark, else you'll lose that amazing detail. You could use a midtone, light bg or rim lighting and a dark background to emphasise the forms too, but basically i love the shapes you've put into the piece :D
calm tiger
@halcyon bronze Thank you! There is going to be something behind the figure but it's going be something more ominous than a background. I just wish I could draw shadows.

Ooh! It sounds nice and optimistic, almost like a pokemon theme. if you feel like something is missing, perhaps it's missing a bassline? Something much lower than the rest but plays the chords to back up those foreground instruments. Also, maybe just a fun little high pitched interjection between repeats of the bit around 23 seconds. Obvs, not necessary because I like it how it is, but just some ideas from a peer ^U^

This is an attempt to replicate SW's general direction in style. I would like to receive critique and/or suggestions on what to draw to practice. Especially beach/jungle/mangrove related. (don't mind the tree stumps, I mostly copied them for now)
pale crypt
Is it for something specific? 
tranquil moss
I really like these. I feel like you've answered your own question! I'd suggest doing studies of what you said, looking up references for beaches, jungles, mangroves. Even if you're drawing rather than going directly to pixel art, translating them to a drawing will help you understand how they "work". But I think these are great and the palette is very nice
calm tiger
I like that a lot. Also, I thought that was a dinosaur egg on top of a tree at the bottom left.
