Bruh I’m so obsessed with Pinterest for art refs it’s not funny

My ocd does not help one bit because the obsession of “I’ll need this later” even though it’s complexity irrelevant which just makes me scroll saving every possible thing for longer KomaAlfaCrying
Though I’m pretty proud of my model ref boards because they’re nice

#

Thanks discord for glitching smh

drifting sparrow
#

ooooooh is your model ref board public?? @grand cave

grand cave
#

Yepp

mossy leaf
#

I should try out Pinterest for references I have been using Google images so far

#

Is it worth it using Pinterest instead of Google images?

grand cave
#

Very much

ember narwhal
#

pinterest has a good platform for moodboards and such, but i feel like it has a massive case of people never sourcing back to where they found things

#

though i didnt use it that much tbh

grand cave
#

I only use it for irl refs, hate Pinterest for actual art

ember narwhal
#

even photographs still belong to an artist tho

mossy leaf
#

The refs look great but I still prefer using my own imagination and some simple body refs, but I will try out Pinterest

grand cave
#

Mhm, most artists I follow always link their Pinterest refs though, and most photographers I follow link a creditable source from Pinterest, but just depends on what you follow ig

ember narwhal
#

ahh thats good

grand cave
#

@drifting sparrow SilentEchoRevived if you want

drifting sparrow
#

Oh my goodness, your boards look so nice!!!!

Holy dang, those sprites look gorgeous!

#

I love the super cucumber sprite :o

#

It actually doesnt look gross unlike the sprite in the game hehe

boreal bobcat
#

yeahhh real sea cucumbers are little gross looking so i looked to nudibranches specifically bc they have cool colors that don't make them look like literal pickles LOL

I've never really understood adopting characters

#

The reason I love my ocs is bc I made them

rugged jacinth
#

its just when someone designs a character then u offer if they accept they give you the rights or something to the oc

#

its hard to explain

ember zealot
#

yeah, but I feel like u can love a character more if you make it yourself

rugged jacinth
#

bro i cant design for shit XD

ember zealot
#

I understand the concept of adopting just not WHY

#

fair

rugged jacinth
#

thats mainly why adopts are a thing cause some people dont know how to design in my opinion

#

not tryna be rude

#

that sounded wrong uHH 😳

ember zealot
#

Oh it didn't sound rude lmao

#

I suppose its fair if u aren't v good at designing ocs

YO I NEED AN OPINION ON SMTH

I'm bad at drawing anyone under the age of like 15 because they're smol and round and all my lines are sharp

grand cave

In my opinion yes! I love your style ohmygoshhh! I wish my lines could be that sharp puppycry

You dont I cant draw babies 😔

I tried

#

Leg is too high

old night

looks good!

spark pilot
#

It looks fine

rain quartz
#

hmm i think the leg looks mostly fine, you gonna need to improve your draftsmanship tho, and the face is too simplified imo

hoary wigeon
#

It's really good dude!! And imo the draft is fine since it seems like you're trying to focus on form, but I'd lift the knee

rain quartz
#

its easier to focus on form with long strokes tho 🤔

hoary wigeon
#

Yeah but I dont know if this is the first time they're trying this man

#

Sletching strokes are fine for beginners to intermediate, especially in drafts

rain quartz
#

isnt it esp good to let them know if its actually their first time to work a bit on draftmanship 😩

grand cave
#

yep my strokes are something I’ve struggled with for a very long time, it’s very irritating
Thank you!

Wasn’t focusing on the face at all, just trying to focus on poses atm

Hello ! Me and @fluid radish are currently developping a mod that adds a new museum to the game, a museum full of fish ! All the fish you donate will be put in aquariums to swim around for eternity. We need someone who would be willing to draw a nice sprite for the outside building, you get credits on the mod page and access to all our progress !

I saw that Gender

ive checked dA out and im... very suspicious of the community there...

I really dislike the da community..

Pinterest

#

Pinterest is iffy tho

#

I'm not on Twitter but I feel like there's art on there

#

webtoon if you're on tapas

grand cave

Pinterest art is extremely hard to find sources from and most art gets stolen from what ive seen

urban nexus

ive thought about webtoon but ill probaby wait until i have more content
^^ same thoughts abt pinterest

I use it for irl refs but for actual art I wouldn’t

I know I'm late to the discussion but I've also been looking for more artsy interactions on social media/communities. I'm on insta, tumblr and twitter, and also some discord servers. The servers I'd say are good for when you want more direct connection

blissful sonnet

oof

Is it gonna be eyes

I attempted these in the dark at a slight angle, then turned the light on and realised how terrible the lashes and general shapes are, but hey
eyes LOL

Yes more eyes

Eyes are the key to the soul

blissful sonnet
#

I need help on arms and legs,

#

but then the answer is references

#

;-;

grand cave
#

You can’t really like, get help on stuff like the way I think you want unless you get shown irl. You can find the best tutorials for legs and arms online, or by breaking down real life ones into shapes. But you can’t be like, directed into “oh put this line there” and “make your hand learn already how to do this shape better” just practice and look at references and how other artists break down their shapes

gloomy turtle
#

I found this one really helpful

grand cave
#

When micko helps you, he breaks down things into shapes and with his style, you can just look up “arm drawings” on google or such, or any other site, and you should get plenty of things

snow pond
#

Or you go armless

grand cave
#

LOL

mossy leaf
#

We are shapes GD

#

we be walking in squares

gloomy turtle
#

Blorbs

grand cave
#

So inspirational

mossy leaf
#

@blissful sonnet To draw legs and arms use rectangles as bones and ovals as muscles and circles as joints. I don't know else to explain the drawings

blissful sonnet
#

Oooooooooo

#

YOU ARE SO HELPFUL

#

THANK YOU SO MUCH

#

and finding the pose I want from a model is rlly hard ;-;

mossy leaf
#

what kind of pose are you trying to draw?

blissful sonnet
#

One bending down

#

like in a way to pick something up

#

and another looking like they are about to walk while holding a popsicle

#

I took a picture of my cuz and sis doing it cuz I find a model on it

mossy leaf
#

I can try and draw you those poses using shapes if you want

blissful sonnet
#

U helped me too much and I wanna try on my own

Im grateful for the help

but I dont want to burden u ;-;

well good luck BG GWpinkuShyNya

Thank you! SDVpufferheart

Though Im still waiting on my stylus

damn

both are from china

mossy leaf
#

oh then it will most likely take a month to arrive

blissful sonnet
#

Yeah, kinda figured that

mossy leaf
#

it took a month for my drawing tablet to arrive from china

blissful sonnet
#

but I rlly hope it arrives earlier

grand cave
#

Ayy waiting for stuff gang

blissful sonnet
#

XD

#

Oh yeah GD

#

I dont know why but I tried watching videos on how to do bodies and stuff

grand cave
#

except mines coming from like, 5 minutes away everywhere’s just out of stock in Australia

blissful sonnet
#

and it just doesnt get put into my brain, like I struggle with making it perfect

grand cave
#

I don’t like actually watching tutorials

blissful sonnet
#

but then my self-doubt makes it think that its ugly ;-;

grand cave
#

You literally just needa study an image, breaking it down into different shapes and practice over and over

wintry sundial
#

the tutorials are just a box to which you can then fill with the liquid of experience

grand cave
blissful sonnet
#

Thats how u did it?

grand cave
#

shapes, everything’s just shapes

mossy leaf
#

I used tutorials as a base for my own way of learning

blissful sonnet
#

Micko analyzes shapes better than me ;-;

wintry sundial
#

your face is a shape

grand cave
#

Well he’s been doing it for some time bg

mossy leaf
#

I just see people as basic shapes

grand cave
#

Practice

#

I am a square

blissful sonnet
#

Okay, Im filled with determination

wintry sundial
#

your wedding ring is a circle

mossy leaf
#

I can show you my first drawing using shapes

wintry sundial
#

ive never seen micko's art i dont think

grand cave
#

Some people study for years, go to art school, go to uni for art, and still feel absolutely crap about their work

#

Micko helped me with my pfp

mossy leaf
blissful sonnet
#

EH

wintry sundial
#

shapes

blissful sonnet
#

imma try it once my stylus comes

jagged moss
#

everything is shapes

blissful sonnet
#

cuz then I will get more determination

jagged moss
#

you just kinda. idk. if you're not willign to learn hardcore anatomy you have to learn how to break stuff down

mossy leaf
wintry sundial
#

satisfactory

jagged moss
#

ooh nice

#

but yeah

mossy leaf
#

the novakid is my latest one

blissful sonnet
#

ooo

jagged moss
#

references is a must if you want your stuff looking more realistic

blissful sonnet
#

I see

jagged moss
#

then you just start building up a mental and digital/physical library on how things should look and should not look

#

that's why references are important

blissful sonnet
#

is it the same for drawing it anime style?

jagged moss
#

yeah

mossy leaf
#

yeah

jagged moss
#

you can't draw well without learning the basics

mossy leaf
#

my art style is based of anime

jagged moss
#

yeah

#

but anime is also based in real life

#

the faces are usually just simplified

blissful sonnet
#

Except the eyes

#

but okay

#

I might need to learn more anatomy

#

or just know whats right and wrong

jagged moss
#

i mean, if you look at most professional anime you'll see that they're based on irl anatomy. because you have to learn that to know what's right and wrong

#

you don't have to learn it hardcore but you do need to learn how certain things work through observation

blissful sonnet
#

Hm

#

Do u have any artwork that I can observe?

#

Micko's artwork helps

mossy leaf
#

I learned how muscles somewhat work just to draw better, you don't have to learn how muscles work to draw but I did it because I thought it would help
Spoilers learning how muscles work did not really help me improve

jagged moss
blissful sonnet
#

Let me try and use shapes

jagged moss
#

but in terms of like, bodies... hold on i'll get a simple version of what i'm working on rn

blissful sonnet
#

Got it

grand cave
blissful sonnet
#

that looks like something I would do

mossy leaf
#

that looks not bad, but its hard to tell where they are in their 3D dimension

grand cave
#

Mhm, that’s like, what? 3-4 years ago now

#

But that was when I first attempted trying to use shapes

jagged moss
#

it's a good enough thing

#

also it's far too complicated to get used to imo

#

hm. actually, shit. this may be a bit too complicated. i'll find something easier

blissful sonnet
#

Take ur time

jagged moss
blissful sonnet
#

oooo

jagged moss
#

there's really no exact science on this. you just have to observe, unforunately. but this is what you usually see with people who make tutorials, right?

blissful sonnet
#

They dont do shapes

jagged moss
blissful sonnet
#

more like talk on how they got there

jagged moss
#

what do you mean by how they go there?

blissful sonnet
#

like to the body

jagged moss
#

go on?

blissful sonnet
#

They do minimal shapes but dont explain so much on what they do

#

and then once they finished with the body, they explained somewhat on how to do it

#

I sorta learn on practice

#

and it being shown to me

jagged moss
#

hm

#

how about this

#

get pictures

#

map them out

#

like, pictures of people and learn to simplify them by guesstimating where the skeletons are and how best to simplify body shapes

#

it should help

#

because there's unfortunately no shortcut to getting better with art

#

i get the frustration. but there's no easy way around it

blissful sonnet
#

Got it

blissful sonnet
#

I used magicposer and it didnt work so well for me

jagged moss
#

why so?

blissful sonnet
#

It was super hard to adjust the person that they provide you and it sometimes just stop for no reason

#

I had to close the app multiple times

jagged moss
#

oh. ooh i just realized what you were talking about

#

no these are more for training

#

it's not entirely for references

blissful sonnet
#

What is magicposer for?

shell notch
blissful sonnet
#

Ohhhh

grand cave

|| Heres the person I adore for how he draws. Listening to full videos of him talking is extremely satisfying and calming too, he shows and explains how he breaks down references (for practice) and how to identity the certain shapes. He’s got plenty of videos on his channel like this, and even just watching speedpaints or real time drawings on how people do their strokes and shapes is extremely helpful. https://youtu.be/ZwU6JKMCqhs , he’s just the person I prefer the most ||

Tracing helps you draw better? I tell you how I used tracing to level up my drawing skills these past couple years. Now, I'm telling you what I have learned so that you don't have to spend as much time as I did trying to divide spheres into 5ths and 3rds!

▶ Play video
jagged moss
#

the links and other stuff that i send isn't for references as is. it's for training/practice and stuff like above is good

blissful sonnet
#

Im listening to him rn

jagged moss
#

tracing is good especially for trying to learn shapes n stuff

blissful sonnet
#

I see

jagged moss
#

there are just people out there that demonize it or use it in a bad way

#

it's also great for trying to break down complicated items. like guns for me. or doing more advanced stuff like foreshortening and blocking (on poses and perspectives)

blissful sonnet
#

Claiming it as their own?

jagged moss
#

yeah. claiming that they own something even though it's not true. there's nothing inherently wrong with tracing. but if you trace other people's art and pictures without proper credit that's wrong

blissful sonnet
#

Ive seen way too many videos on it

shell notch
jagged moss
#

yesss

#

dude you made this?

shell notch
#

nu uh, im far from his mark

#

this is the guy

#

also rip ig no more thumbsnail

jagged moss
#

damn that gud

shell notch
#

the guy put original on top and remake fantasy ver on bottom in 1 layer

#

thats godlike

jagged moss
#

i forgot what they call that. but there's an entire webcomic where that's what they do tho like

#

they take pictures, stack them on each other, then draw them to the style that they want

shell notch
#

most rough VN also like than, sometime they just make it less real with photoshop like apps.

#

well, background arent that strict compared character. there were less issue than person/animal tracing

jagged moss
#

true. since backgrounds are easier to somewhat gather but the photographers should still be credited imo

#

but that's just me

shell notch
#

i'd credit them

#

there were still copyright issue when u just use em willy nilly

jagged moss
#

ooh yeah. that would be reaaally iffy

that looks rlly nice!

But you can't beat free!

blissful sonnet

I rlly want to use Krita, but chromebook doesnt allow it ;-;

#

So I use Ibis Paint X

fun new activity! draw urself in the Artisan Cell!

blissful sonnet
#

Ooooo

#

Imma do it later in the day

echo mesa

;D

blissful sonnet
#

Jar, heres a challenge

#

Every color you use in your drawing, you need to add a limb

#

It includes shading

#

The drawing cannot be white

#

or else it will have no limbs

echo mesa
#

??? add a limb
wot

kindred scaffold
#

A limb to what?

blissful sonnet
#

Like any limb

#

say you added a color, you have to have legs

#

so you need to have 2 colors

echo mesa
#

but
why

blissful sonnet
#

Becuz it just came in mind

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

echo mesa
#

i dont
rlt get the idea tbh
are u saying i dont use enough cokours so itd be a weird 2 limbed thing? or saying i use 2 many colours and it would be a mass of legs?
leg mass
yuxky

lament turtle
blissful sonnet
#

Jar, u made it so confusing

tropic halo
#

I don't get it either

#

Do you just draw a limb-less figure and then add a limb everytime you use a different colour?

echo mesa
#

im always confused ;c

ember zealot
#

I would draw myself in the artisan cell but I'm not artisan ;w;

storm meadow
#

BG was talking about the weird instruction idea we talked yesterday

kindred scaffold
#

I'm very confused too.

blissful sonnet
#

Hold up, Imma make it less confusing

#

For every new color you use, a body part must be added

#

You can draw like a regular human right

#

but every color you add, theres a limb added

#

so say I draw a human that has 2 legs and 2 arms

#

If I add red to the drawing, then a new limb is added

#

It can be either 3 legs and 2 arms or 2 legs and 3 arms

#

Does this sound less confusing or nah?

#

ALSO The drawing cannot be white

#

I'm not an artist, but an easy way for it to look better is if you create an darker outline with the color pencil, then fill in the shape. Be aware of the direction you're coloring too, if you do it all one direction, it'll look more cohesive and less chaotic, but you might want to use different directions to create different effects, so just keep in mind the effect

jolly swan
#

Ok

At more form to your drawings
