i'm happy for you

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

I like how your style is a little close to realistic and I feel you can do even better

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

thankk

#

#

you guys have been so nice and given me so much motivation to do more art ; ~ ;

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 5:53 AM

just thought id say that the only bad artists are art stealers

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 5:53 AM

LMAo mood

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

too many people shit on their own art instead of figuring out how to improve and i hate it

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

oh?

#

well from personal experience sometimes its really hard to get past that plateau of skill, personally ive been sitting on one for years now but my depression's made it hard to push through and keep doing art in spite of everything looking wrong that i draw

#

the only way to really get through it though is to keep drawing and looking for new sources of inspiration/reference so that eventually something about the way you work changes. but that's difficult for a lot of folks

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

hi sexy artists

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

i get that, but some people just compare themselves to others (i used to do this) and call themselves shit

#

ive learned to not do that

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

a lot of artists i know go through a phase like that at some points

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

most do

#

i just wish less people did

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

personally i still have a really hard time with it sometimes when theres a 16 year old on the internet whos doing better illustrations than me, a27 yo with a degree xD

#

yeah that would be nice if we didnt thinkt hat way

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

happens sometimes, i gave up on digital because well, what did i have to draw?

#

i had one reaper boi an thats about it

#

didnt really have time to learn

#

got into pixel art

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

ahh yeah

#

having time to learn is always difficult for a lot of ppl

#

i was lucky in that i dont really have much in my life i have to worry about

tranquil comet Apr 23, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

i have so much to worry about

#

i love pixel art but its seriously affecting my grades

#

and my parents are asian so you can imagine how that goes

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

ohh heck

#

yeah i had that same problem in college

#

for the first couple years anyway

#

all i wanted to do was do my own art, not my assignments, even though most of them were art assignments

#

thats why it took 7 yrs to get a 4 year degree

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 6:24 AM

What i consider the best feeling in the world: when someone you consider to be a really good artist complements your art

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

yeee u got dat right

#

also a question for the admins, do yall allpw streams in this server? i was thinking of trying an art stream but using obs is a pain in the ass and hard on my computer so using discord would be easier

#

and i could do it thru my own server but i know u dont allow other server adverts here

#

idk if anyone would even be interested anyway i was just gonna draw seb xD

#

@lone mountain do u know?

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

we don't :(

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

aww ok

#

ill have to figure out obs then

#

can i advertise a stream here?

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

im pretty sure u can say ur streaming in here and ask people if they wanna watch just dont post link or spam

#

also i could help you with obs but i have mine set up with picarto

#

i have no clue on how twitch works

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

oh i wouldnt use twitch

#

i use picarto too

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

oh i can def help u then

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

its just kinda finnicky for me and havent used it with this new computer yet

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

i will def watch u too 😳

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

okiess

#

yea

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

do you want to see my settings?

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

thats why i stopped doing streams is cuz i wouldnt get anyone to join half the time xD

#

lemme se if i can set it up first, i have a feeling settings depend on hardware

#

i also need to figure out how to give photoshop more ram xD

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

idk if u use gaia but a lot of people just use the free art forum to advertise their stream KJASHDJ

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

ooh

#

well

#

i have a gaia account but

#

idk if anyone would care xD

lone mountain Apr 23, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

i mean if u give the false promise of doing them free art they will

#

depending on time there will be around like

#

5-10 people

#

ive been meaning to stream again but i hate doing art for people

#

its too hard alkjshd

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

i like it cause i like attention. but usually people will come if im doing fandom specific art, i dont usually have to offer requests. sometimes i do if i want to though ; - ;

#

but i was gonig to offer requests this time

#

for things to draw sebastian doing xD

kindred scaffold Apr 23, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

I think I've finally accepted that it's okay if I don't finish my sketches. I just like doodling. I'm still trying to find myself, I can't force it.

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

thats valid

#

also what i like to do is come back to my sketches a few months later and see if i feel like working further on any of them. usualy the answer is yes

does he actually like those in game?

i also have headcanons about that though

kindred scaffold Apr 23, 2020, 7:51 PM

He hates them.

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:51 PM

i like to imagine seb's used to having walls and acting tough all the time cause he's had to to survive being a loner

#

but once he gets married he gradually opens up and lets himself be more vulnerable

#

lmao thats what i thought xD

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:51 PM

feel like marriage has a different stigma in the stardew world, seb is like 19

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

i thought he was in his mid 20's based on his dialogue

#

talks about how if he went to college he'd be making 6 figs by now

#

hes also a freelance programmer

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

he certainly looks pretty young

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

i mean you cant really decide a characters age based on heavily stylized art imo

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

Certainly perfect for marriage huhuhu

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

the sdv style is meant to be very cutesy-stylized

#

is there somewhere in canon where it says everyones ages?

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

there isn't

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

They're all most likely 18-20 y old

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

yea they all give me a rly young vibe

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

i'd disagree but

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

shane is prob a bit older

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

i feel like some of their dialogue was heavily stereotyped

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

and of course harvey is a doctor

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:56 PM

#

i.e. with seb being so "emo"

#

idk i hc seb as like 24-ish

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

I see what you mean

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

at least post college age since he regrets not going to college

#

plus it's assumed that as each year passes they age xD

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

Oh well

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

so he's gotta be at least 22ish by the time you marry him

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

That is valid

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

i hc that you just move in with each other

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

unless u somehow marry him in the first year

lament turtle Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

which is cute

#

but marriage is like

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 7:59 PM

#

First year marriage? Yeep I did that

ember narwhal Apr 23, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

i did it my 2nd year just cause i wanted to like not burn through that part of the game immediately xD

mighty bronze Apr 23, 2020, 8:00 PM

I made a lot of yetis crying for him

also that implies seb isnt attractive in the base game, which isnt true at all xD

@hushed ledge if you plan on compiling it in video software set the animation to save as sequential pngs
If not, then MP4

I believe firealpaca has a secondary online program. I used to use it... Although I can't remember the name. It had something to do with a shiba, but it was like a gif compiler.

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

he seems very popular esp in the artist community which isnt surprising

#

oh really?

devout stream Apr 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

when i first met shane i was like... pppl like shane? xDDDD

devout stream Apr 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

LOL a lot of people find him relatable

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:02 PM

he was rude to me 3 times so i was like uhh okay bye xDDD

#

then i read his wiki and i was like OH

#

i see so much art of those two boys

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

i kinda wish sebs storyline was more like that though? like he legit seems to be depressed but its never taken seriously in the game imo

#

and like

#

shanes alcoholism is a big deal but sebs smoking isnt. its like a background thing. smoking is just as bad as alcoholism

#

idk i just want more for him. thats why i wanna make a mod xD

#

personally i see him as his mid 20's so the whole high school "im emo so i pretend to be sad" thing seems really fake and not thought out well

devout stream Apr 25, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

well shane's alcoholism is ||the result of depression and coping, and in ways makes his situation worse because he's unable to think clearly about his decisions. smoking is obviously bad but it doesn't affect people the same way alcohol does.||

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

i mean it can still ruin your life

#

and quitting smoking is just as hard as quitting alcoholism too

#

idk, i just wish there was more depth

devout stream Apr 25, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

that's a valid criticism, can be applied to most if not all of the characters in the game 😛

ember narwhal Apr 25, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

it also depends on the severity of it too i guess, seb probably isnt into smoking as hard

#

#

ok, this might be a lil strange to ask but why do artist don't want their art to be reposted, with credits ofc

#

or repost is different from sharing

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

reposting separates the artwork from the artist. so like, if someone from tu mblr took one of my seb drawings, and posted it, they would be getting all the notes, all the attention, all the follows for it. do you think that would be fair to the artist? even if they did credit me, many people will be too lazy to click the link and go to the original source. and most of the time when people repost stuff, it's literally just to get attention for themselves ,9 times out of 10 they are not crediting intentionally.

#

if you are sharing, usually you are just essentially sharing the link to where the art was posted. you are not downloading the image and uploading it as your own photo, which is what happens when someone "reposts"

#

it actually takes more work to repost than to share. most websites have a share function, where as to repost something, you actually have to download the image and then make a new post on your website or blog.

#

many times when reposting happens the artist has no knowledge of it either. and sometimes people reposting will attempt to claim it as their own or generate some kind of profit from it. so thats why its typically a negative thing to do.

#

personally i don't want my work reposted on websites where i actually have a profile and a following. but if someone reposts (with credit) to a website where i dont have an account and have no intention of joining, then i would consider that fine. i would prefer to be asked first in all situations though.

mighty bronze Apr 26, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

wow, thank you so much for clarifying everything, I understand now but than again, how do artist get popular?

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

i'm not sure how it works for every artist out there, but a few ways i've seen for myself are either they join an active fandom and post a lot of fan art, which interests many people if its a big fandom too, so they get a lot of exposure from that. the second method is usually a combination of either theyve just been posting in the same place for years and years consistently and usually they tend to have a higher level of technical skill than other artists doing the same thing. or they happen to befriend someone who does have a large following and can promote their art. it's a lot of luck, really.

#

but the most common one is through fandoms

#

thats how i got 4k followers on tumblr, by posting a bunch of fan art.

#

it was much easier when the fandoms were active.

mighty bronze Apr 26, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

Thanks for taking your time to open my eyes 😄

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 6:32 AM

#

yw uwu

#

i enjoy talking about this kind of stuff, a lot of people don't actually know about it

#

a lot of it is from personal experience too. ive been posting art online a lot so most of this stuff ive encountered at some point

mighty bronze Apr 26, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

must've been harsh for everyone...

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 6:34 AM

#

yeah trying to get yourself out there with nothing but your oc's is fucking brutal

#

xD

#

though ive learned that once you join fandoms, you can start posting your oc stuff and usually a handful of people will enjoy your art just because its your art, and actually want to see more of your oc's . then if you rotate fandoms llike me, that handful of people will stick with you no matter what you do. in each fandom you may find more people like that. eventually most people will follow your art because they like your art, not because you do fan art

#

havent quite gotten to there yet myself though ; u ;

#

"How does the artist get popular?"
It's a valid question that others have answered, but note that this line of thinking is used by people who think they can pay in "exposure". People and by extension users of the internet are consumers, but not investigators. They may enjoy art that they see posted but they rarely if ever take the effort to look into the source (see: sensationalist news headlines and fact checking). Regulars of this channel are more artistically-minded so we're more likely to do that.

#

I will confirm that fanart is a good way to get an initial following. Don't worry about posting original art mixed in with it or eventually dropping off the fanart afterwards; fanart will get you noticed but your style is what makes them stay.

#

Art is a very personal or "intimate" field compared to others because the art is very much a part of the artist. Your fans will follow where you go artistically (barring extremes like a sudden switch to NSFW art or strong politics and ideologies).

#

I think this is often a reason why artists get discouraged. When you create something, it's a part of you, which means that presenting it to the world has a much higher effect on your validation.

#

Their opinion on a part of you is also seen as part of their opinion on the rest of you.

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

that's so true pezzo, when you share your work publicly it feels a lot like your own character and self, as a person, is being judged rather than the product

#

i think people consuming the art oftentimes don't feel that way about how they're passing judgment, or are unaware of that effect, or simply don't care. even small, seemingly-benign comments that can be construed as unprovoked or unwanted criticism seem much bigger in the eyes of the person who made the thing, and having art ignored or passed over feels similarly like a personal rejection. it's easy to get discouraged if you aren't getting the external validation you want, and that external validation is a major driving factor in your producing the art

#

which is why it's helpful to make content that you, personally, like. the kind of stuff you'd probably make even if you had nowhere to share it. that way, external validation doesn't really have so much influence over your own sense of self as it relates to art

tawny lynx Apr 26, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

It's hard to stick with that mindset though.

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

at least, that's what i've found. and the more stuff you make that's high quality because You Personally care about it and wanted to make it, generally the more people notice and like it?? it's weird

#

for sure

tawny lynx Apr 26, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

Few can entirely validate themselves in a vacuum.

#

Fortunately there's always someone that'll like what you make, but it may just be harder than others.

#

Wait, this is sounding like relationship advice if a few words are swapped.

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

lmao

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

there are some striking parallels

#

as a married person, i've noticed that

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

personally i always avoid connecting myself too much to my art. viewing your art as too personal produces the kind of people who are oversensitive about constructive criticism and cant take it at all

#

obv not everyone is looking for critique or criticism but thats one of the first things you have to learn at college and especially if you are serious about improving your skills.

#

so i'd just be careful about viewing your work as a "part" of yourself top deeply in all cases

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

oh yes absolutely. i think the hobbyist has a harder time disconnecting from their work, but it's an important skill to learn if the aim is to improve

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

yeah exactly

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

and it really isn't a "part" of you, at least not in the eyes of most people consuming it. they don't typically judge things that way, i don't think. nobody's looking at a drawing going "that perspective is wonky. you must be a terrible person" lmaaoo

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

yeah well thats how a lot of younger less experienced artists actually take it

#

they think oh i spent so much time on it and youre pointing out 16 things wrong with it i guess im just shit at art and i shoulsnt bother making any more

#

so when feedback is involved its important for both the artist and the critiquer to have the right mindset

#

constructive feedback shouldnt sound rude or mean, ans the artist shouldnt take it personally. its meant to help the artist improve at the core.

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

it's also important to understand constructive feedback as the huge compliment that it is. the person offering the criticism finds you worth their time, and feels your work is worth the investment to improve, evolve, grow, etc

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

yeah exactly

lusty hull Apr 26, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

No, some people just complain and are rude and pretend its "constructive"

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

talkin a real big game over here for a hobbyist drawer for like. three years tops

#

there's a difference, though

ember narwhal Apr 26, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

and tyapically you shouldnt even be getting critique unless you asked for it. nobody likes unsolicited advice. the same applies to art

#

@lusty hull then thats not proper critique and you should tell them to fuck off

lusty hull Apr 26, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I try to only say nice things

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:08 PM

you can tell if someone's just being rude. YEAH if it's unsolicited, baseless, or unprompted then that is quite different

idk what im gonna do with myself now tch

#

tbh

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

i feel that mirax. it's tough out there for professional artists

#

job stability is difficult to come by in that field. i see concept artists/character designers for commercial television studio-hopping constantly

#

don't know if it's the same for visdev people in games and movies, but i'd imagine so?

#

i would love to be able to draw all day but doing it professionally sounds stressful. job stability is hard enough rn and i work in stem which is supposed to be better :/

tawny lynx Apr 26, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

It's supposed to be (especially these days)

#

I will say that it's hard not to feel at least a small personal connection to your creative ventures.

#

Where else did the ideas come from other than yourself?

then i see that they left a comment on one of my artworks which i think was supposed to be advice but they worded it so weirdly, dont really wanna call it an insult cus it doesnt seem like it, but it was just annoying to read

unreal stream Apr 26, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

I practicially survive off the critiques from others
only way I learn

rain quartz Apr 26, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

i usually ask for em from friends or on the art server i mod

unreal stream Apr 26, 2020, 11:14 PM

#

A horrible habit I have due to my insecurities is asking for advice too often, like I'll draw a head and ask for advice on the shape right away

#

I'm never sure of what I do until someone shows me or tells me its fine

#

I do seriously wish I was more independent. Sometimes I feels like my drawings aren't my own.

rain quartz Apr 26, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

ya just gotta let imperfections go sometimes, or look for a ref image instead of asking someone

#

im not big on showing wips so unless i have a thing i dont know how to approach i dont ask for advice

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

i almost never show wips, it makes me too nervous. but it's probably helpful if someone giving advice can see your process? i'm not sure if there's an advantage

lament turtle Apr 26, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

holy shit

#

so i tried flipping my canvas for the first time

#

and

#

im surprised

#

some of these look really good flipped and some look... wonky asf

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

canvas flipping is an experience

#

i do it like every thirty seconds while drawing

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

if i go too long without flipping it, the thing i'm drawing will absolutely end up in the "Wonky ASF" category

lament turtle Apr 26, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

ignore the horrid lineart, im working on that

#

wonky asf

#

i like that saying

#

lol im keeping that in my vocabulary now

#

im the type of person who starts off with a good idea and then realizes how shit it is when im almost 99% done

#

example: plume style lineart

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

i heard once that when you flip the canvas, you are getting to see the drawing as someone who's never seen it before would view it. as you draw your brain makes like a hundred tiny corrections to the thing you're seeing, because it knows what it's supposed to look like. and when you flip the canvas it can't make those corrections anymore

#

UGH i feel that about being 99% done

lament turtle Apr 26, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

like look close in the lineart

#

im redrawing over the lineart

pastel nimbus Apr 26, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

also that drawing's super cute, i think the lineart looks nice

#

coloured lineart always looks nice imo

lament turtle Apr 26, 2020, 11:56 PM

same

#

i did it all brown and wonky

a life saver

lament turtle Apr 26, 2020, 11:57 PM

#

now i have to fix the entire coloring bc

#

well

#

half of this coloring fits for the old lineart

#

this is due in 3 days and i have another one to doooo aaaaa

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

how to deliver criticism is different by places and countries anyway, if you found that comment annoying you can just put "Don't accept criticism unless I asked" in your art page I guess?

#

I personally never shown any WIP in open public places like twitter, tumblr, etc. This server I still considered it semi public so I think it's okay to share it here. Sharing WIP in a big open site like twitter is kinda prone to art steal

#

I don't even accept sketch only/lineart only/flat coloured commissions

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

flipping the canvas was a hardcore part of my drawing process until i had to start using photoshop.theres no easy way to do it in there

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 12:22 AM

dat moment you turned everything to shit when you flipped your canvas
it really happens alot on me GWjiangoNegaLUL

draw like normally
flips the canvas, sees mistake, managed fix it
flips the canvas back, sees mistake again, managed to fix it
flips the canvas again, sees mistake again, managed to fix it
repeat

question
for art contests- how do you track or art theft?
and- if tracing were a form of it, how would you track if an entry is traced?

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

for tracing depending on how the end result is you could probably reverse image search on Google to see if anything suspicious comes up

pastel nimbus Apr 27, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

this is going to sound potentially mean, and i really don't intend for it to sound that way but. when something is traced it's usually quite evident if you know what to look for

lament turtle Apr 27, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

you're 100% right

pastel nimbus Apr 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

i hope that doesn't sound rude but 😬

lament turtle Apr 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

it doesn't

pastel nimbus Apr 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

okay good flskfjk

exotic wren Apr 27, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

I didn't get rude from that at all

#

but unless the style of the artist shifts a lot- I'm not sure what you mean by "it's evident"
unless I recognize the picture they traced.

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

well to me personally what ive seen is that the anatomy or traced thing looks really good, but then ecerything else not traced doesnt have the same level of technical skill

#

or just looks weirdly off

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

back then I used to trace my own hand, arm, leg quite many times lol

#

and that's a valid form of tracing GWjiangoNegaLUL

#

tracing another art is no

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

yeah thats acceltable. when you talk about tracing being bad its because they traced someone else artwork or photo

#

yea

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

if I remember it right

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

most times they also wont say they used a reference or anything.

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

to detect a trace, you used an image that is close or similar enough to the suspected art, put it on transparent and match the lines

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

but some people do use tracing as a form of learning. but it shouldnt be used in final peices for commissions, contests etc. and the ref should always be sourced

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

but still, be wary if you're trying to accuse someone of tracing

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

i wouldnt say anything unless you can get several artists to agree with you

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

false accusation can lead to your own demise anyway

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

even if you cant confirm its a trace, you can still disqualify if they borrowed too heavily from references that they didnt have permission to use

#

thats why everyones afraid of using reference

#

but as long as youre not straight copying the image or composition youre fine

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

well the thing is some artist might not care about permission for using art as reference or heavy reference

ember narwhal Apr 27, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

and this is really only an issue if you are doing work on contract or for payment

#

it depends on the situation and what youre making the artwork for

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

might be an issue if you used that for competitions, because alot of people's eyes are on your art

#

for a contract between 2 parties is gonna be hard to difficult

#

since only few peoples are involved

#

but don't look at me as if I'm trying to justify tracing GWjiangoNegaLUL

#

before I accuse someone of tracing tho, I'd ask another artist's opinions 1st, then confront the accused artist privately, if they still refuse to comply then there's no way but to publicize the proof

#

some art tracers can be kids you know

#

so I'd say direct publication of the proof isn't a wise move, without clarifying the accused artist themselves

#

kids and noob artists are still learning, and mostly have no idea if tracing is allowed or not

mighty bronze Apr 27, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Omg, I got through some of my old drawings and they didn't look wonky when I flipped them??? Maybe I was doing ok and it was just my lazy ass who gave up...

lucky for you, because my old arts always turned to shit when flipped

pastel iris Apr 27, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

as much as I hate discord light theme, but when it comes about art software, I preferred light theme for some reasons

#

probably that's because I was quite used to photoshop which is having no dark theme

urban minnow Apr 27, 2020, 4:14 AM

light themes just burn my eyes after drawing for a while

i'm certainly no expert of course, but that's my opinion!

i also had the idea of doing a mix of the charming black lineart with soft coloured lineart!

@pastel nimbus

i think that could look awesome actually! great idea. maybe the black lineart for the more rigid/defined shapes like the buildings , and the softer lineart for softer organic shapes

mine's a personal account

i think i keep it personal cause i also use it for personal reasons

i think a business account you can tie in with taxes and stuff like that, probably makes it easier when tax time comes around or smth

well after I gave it a check

#

I got myself confused with activity page and invoicing page lmao

the invoice is still there, though the it has no activity record

I also just read it in paypal forums and apparently your account info is shown to the recipient if you used personal account

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

if its gay then idrc what he is but if it's straight fanart then i'd say he's a top-- then again i have literally 0 knowledge in this shit so 🤷

ember narwhal Apr 28, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

for some reason in the smoking one he doesnt have the extra butt

#

imo seb has bottom energy but thats also cuz my farmer is taller and buffer than him xD

Does anyone have any tips for drawing arms because I just can't.

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

thats a bit vague like that, whats your specific trouble with em?

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Well, basically I'm trying to draw proportionate arms. However, every time without fail they always look just... wrong. Like, the elbow positioning is always off and they're always too wide if you get what I mean. Like, the top part of the arm is too wide and looks wrong connected to the shoulders and then the bottom part is too skinny so it kinda looks like an upside-down triangle.

#

if that makes any sense

#

so it kinda looks like

@sly pawn draw a rectangle for the upper arm and triangle for the forearm

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

Cuz I have a certain way of doing it

#

Okay gimme a couple minutes

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

Okay, thank you so much!

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

also lily im trying to make this as accurate as possible, im sorry if its not very 100% good

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

for proportions id recommend checking out loomis's books or just the illustrations in them

#

without a picture im not really sure how to explain the width, but with the elbow position its usually slightly higher than where your belly buttons is, like if you ever see a woman with a hourglass figure theres that dip where the width of their hips ends, its in line with that

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

@lament turtle It's alright! I would just like to see an arm that actually look like an arm. Unlike mine lol.

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

alrighty

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Okay

#

Thanks Sofi!

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

np! using a lot of refs can also help you better remember and understand proportions

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:35 PM

Yea!

i hope it helps!

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:36 PM

Okay thank you! That makes a lot of sense actually

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

i sketched it out pretty quickly so it might be more or less accurate

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

It looks fantastic tho!

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

-< thank you! tell me if it helps :)

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

It definitely does!

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

im glad :)

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

Now I see I've been drawing the top part wayyy too long

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

oh i used to do that too lmaoo

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

lower arm+hand should be about the same length as upper arm

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

Okay

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

^^

#

thats why i always put lines

#

the green lineart is the base sketch, and purple is how you shape it with the lineart

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Yeah

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

usually the top seems longer but that's bc of the shoulder

#

also make sure to always thin out the wrist and to make the skin near the elbow fold a bit more round if ya know what i mean

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

I didn't realise how dainty female shoulders can be when they're not just a straight line slightly diagonally downwards

#

Yea

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

yup! i added arrows to show u that

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

its good to use some forms for the torso too, ppl usually like to draw a ribcage shape and a vague pelvis shape but a ball and a 3d trapezoid can replace those 2 for simpleness sake

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

i dunno if u can see the shapes i did

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

I see what you mean

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

📎 image0.png

#

ignore the weird ass hand

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

i can see the shapes thats why im specifying form, its better to start with something 3d so you can visualize it better

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

but using circles for the shoulders help me all the time

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

always had a hard time with that so i really gotta force myself to think in 3d

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

same xD

nimble imp Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

~~Finna crash this party rn~~
Also, use flowy lines instead of straight lines 👍

#

Like, those arms looking hella stiff

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

i know

#

that was a quick guide

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

i also like to draw the vague ribcage shape but add extra line to signal its 3d-ness

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

to try and help lily out

storm meadow Apr 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

Flowy lines and dynamic poses yeah

nimble imp Apr 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

Ah gotcha

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

i usually never draw as stiff and... robotic

#

it was just to give her guidelines lmfao

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

for proportions guides its better to draw it in a resting pose to show what you mean better

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

Thank you guys for the help! It's really helpful to me. I can kinda get the basic likeness of a body, it's just trying to add life to it instead of having stiff lines and it looking so dead

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

OH also keep in mind the knuckle line isn't straight

#

it's like... a bit lower from the index to the pinky

nimble imp Apr 28, 2020, 4:45 PM

come join my triangle cult

#

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:45 PM

i always forget that and my hands end up looking wonky as HELL

#

I don’t know if this helps but here’s a sketch im working on

📎 image0.png

#

the face is triggering me bc i cant seem to do it right but the rest of the body seems to work well

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

legs look too short imo, in a pose like that the thig comes up about collarbone height and the legs themselves are as long as torso+head

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

hmmm.

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

she's not holding her legs up to her body tho

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Okay okay, I've just been doing a sketch and it already looks better than before

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

id say the head is a bit too big for the shoulder width too but that can work out as a stylization thing if you are going for a sort of chibi stlye

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

they're further away from her chest

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

legs are still short tho

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

hmmm

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

if she were to pull them all the way in theyd be about tity height

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

i'll try to work on that, already started on the lineart so i'll have to modify that too but im sure i can do it

#

you're right, i see it now!

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

ayy

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

also i see what you mean about the head, although i think it's mostly due to her having large hair

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

also this is a lesser known proportional thing but when i heard it it blew my mind: your feet is as long as your fore arm (without hand)

sly pawn Apr 28, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

When drawing a head, is it better to draw the two cross lines first or the shape?

lament turtle Apr 28, 2020, 4:49 PM

you can do a circle like i do or do a circle with a semi circle square for the chin

rain quartz Apr 28, 2020, 4:49 PM

the crosses are for making it easier to visualize it as a ball

also guides for placement
