Cute apple @kindred scaffold 😄
@nimble imp sweet doodles!! Really like teh shapes of your characters
This is a game I've been working on for a while, I keep catching these really nice sunrises when I'm working on certain functionalities and it always makes me feel good about the progress im making 🙂
(It's heavily inspired by stardew valley too! After reading about Eric Barone in blood, sweat and pixels I feel like I'm currently living his life 5 years ago)

Ever heard of scrap mechanic?
That landscape reminds me of it a little bit

I tried to put this image in on my canvas as a joke so I could send a screencap to my friends and my art program closed itself without saving my progress. I stickbugged myself.

at least i find it easier when i have pictures as references as opposed to just the pixelart

Yeah 
Why making that beard in the pixels were more easy
Lol
Come on, I posted 2 arts on #creative and none appeared on #art-gallery

lament turtle
Yep

You can dm bouncer and ask the mods with links to your posts

@lament turtle Hey there, so sorry that we missed your posts. I could only see one image in the last week that you've made - I think we may have mistaken your farmer for just a regular OC. It always helps to label as a SDV OC/farmer, but you can always message @weak matrix if you think we've missed something. Thanks!

Oh, no problem! I was Just curious, sometimes it happens, but thanks!

so i boosted the light of my painting up

i had a time when i thought i was talented at drawing
went on for 2 years, didn't really learn nor improve much
i gave up art for another 2 years
kindred scaffold
I feel that.
glacial fox
been drawing again for past 2 years, not exactly all the times, but it is started to heal
indigo sequoia
The key is just practice and constancy, anyone could get good at it with effort 
indigo sequoia
Yeah of course

Sticks my leggy in the air
eeee hiyoko is probably one of my faves to draw,, i love her kimono,,

@velvet sun do you use a stylus?
Cause if you're using your finger that's very impressive
kindred scaffold
Ooh, what brush is that? It looks good.
velvet sun
idk i just chose a basic brush

ahHHHh cloth folds are the bane of my existence
I need to find some good refs to practice them
so uh. if anyone's got a folder on pinterest for those or smth, gimme link

ikr
my fingers are kinda fat but either way i can't see where i'm drawing askjdasjaka
my hands are also very shaky sometimes so i really need a stabilizer to draw decently

i dont even own a stylus lol
@velvet sun make one
Look at this thing, it isn't that good but helps

Yep

Man been a while since I've posted anything on here. I recently got spiritfarer and I'm absolutely loving the game, started working on a super rough sketch of gwen.
kindred scaffold
Why must the sketch always look so much better?
lament turtle
Yeah I think that too
fiery hearth
Sketches have unrefined charm to them, and look more...sincere? I don't know like there's a process behind it. Not that finished works look bad but sketches are just really interesting
velvet sun
maybe it's because the sketches have that kind of messy, work-in-progress feel that the finished works don't have?
glacial fox
not really, it is just there are more lines
sketching get really nice if you add a lot of details, which are friendly only to sketching
like contour line
or some messy line
or preparation lines
fiery hearth
maybe it's because the sketches have that kind of messy, work-in-progress feel that the finished works don't have?
@velvet sun
Yeah, I think that's why I prefer looking at sketches
fiery hearth
yeah those are beautiful, not messy but still sketchy
glacial fox
it is more or less bad to do messy, in pro term this is call Mess sketch but in control
it is still draw exactly like how you normally sketch, but it is done with line weight and dedication
fiery hearth
Do you think it's natural straight lines or straight edge tool?
glacial fox
yea the school is highly focus on quick result, so they do use tool for straight line
but it is possible to draw straight lines
just it take a bit of try
not really good for people who are short on time
fiery hearth
i'd agree
glacial fox
i have also try to do controlling the sketch before, i get a decent line quality without like, spend another 3 hours on each for lineart
during the time i only had 6 hours to draw
xD
and it is impossible to draw those with the normal sketch -> line
fiery hearth
yeah those seem very meticulous
and mechanical stuff is hard to draw so kudos to you
glacial fox
now i am kind of doubt how did i even sketch it like this before
more or less sloppy at art after 5 months gaming
fiery hearth
it's definitely a skill you have to keep doing. I used to be really decent and now I feel like my quality is really bad because I don't do it as much anymore. I really like drawing faces and people
fiery hearth
cute!
glacial fox
yea, i plan to continue to sketch after i finish my 2 months of painting
on that note

i thought i was getting ignored, but people said they thought those were photos
i also got warned in a server because post photos in art channel
lol
fiery hearth
oh snap I can see why they really do look like photos at a glance
that's some really good realistic painting
glacial fox
thanks
i am getting how real life coloring work , at least with that plane tone
hopefully i can draw my own plane in a work
opaque cove
I just read through the entire sketch conversation, and i really agree with sketches just having an unrefined charm, it just naturally feels more human in my opinion, since its imperfect
kindred scaffold
I agree with that.
fiery hearth
If i were to share mood boards to the creative thread here consisting of photos found across the internet, would I need to credit back to each photo?
lament turtle
I think you would ye
fiery hearth
what if it's free stock photography? Would I just link the site that offers it?
kindred scaffold
Best to DM the bouncer.

ah ok, thanks!

Yay!
I thought that game was really cool and it definitely inspired it a little bit (the weapon especially)!! So nice catch
fiery hearth
I can see the slime ranching vibe
obtuse tinsel
I really loved the sound design in it
vagrant geyser
:D
obtuse tinsel
How it works is you blast this energy bubble at a fish, bird, whatever, and then it gets stuck in the bubble
You can then pull the bubble towards you magnetically
so if you wanted to drag a fish from the ocean to a pond or something, you can do that
it's a fun spin on traditional fishing
vagrant geyser
:o I like that a lot
fiery hearth
I wish that real. I love fishing in games but don't like it IRL, I don't like touching worms or fish and feel bad for real fish
like just to pop things in water bubbles would be fun in and of itself

@obtuse tinsel thanks, I am thinking about getting one for proper practice in area of design and storyboard sometimes later. Been self-learn

I mean there was a whole argument where someone literally posted game screenshots with a filter over them without disclosing it. I got warned for arguing with them about it so I'll leave it at that.

@obtuse tinsel thanks, I am thinking about getting one for proper practice in area of design and storyboard sometimes later. Been self-learn
@glacial fox you've done a great job! Wow.
:o I like that a lot
@vagrant geyser yay 😁
I wish that real. I love fishing in games but don't like it IRL, I don't like touching worms or fish and feel bad for real fish
@fiery hearth I've always felt bad for fish too, my dad used to mock me / make me feel bad about it as a kid. Never wanted to hurt them 😦
This is how it works in-game if you're curious (video)
I still gotta fine tune how it forms onto the fish that you catch though 🙂
velvet sun
fish go flop
obtuse tinsel
flippity floppity
maybe some sort of wavey magnetic explosion around it when it catches something lol
AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S SEVERLA FISH
does the bubble get bigger?!
Does it pick one and stick to it?!
So many questions

I started making mood boards for the seasons of Stardew Valley - Using pics of a seasonal fish, forage item, events, tree/fruit tree, and crops. Winter was a bit trickier since it doesn't have actual crops

Wow.

I just noticed how productive this month actually was, I did do some gesture practice like at least 2-3 times a week, random sketches like animals or poses that are more dynamic and even did a redraw! this makes me so proud.
also updated my tumblr page so it's time to give it an use again 
kindred scaffold
I've been thinking of making another art account. Thought about going with Tumblr. It's so hard to decide.
tawny lynx
What do you have now?
mighty bronze
both Instagram and tumblr feels nice for me
tawny lynx
Oh.
I'd say that Tumblr is nice for archiving purposes but getting discovered is a bit iffy.
Twitter has exposure but it's not made for artists to easily organize their art into a portfolio.
Instagram has a very nice format for people to view all your art but discovery is even worse than Tumblr.
Newgrounds has similar benefits to IG but needs to build a userbase.
DeviantArt...
Oh yeah, ArtStation. It presents itself as more professional and is full of proto-DaVincis and 4k 3D renders, and while it doesn't technically stop more "casual" styles from being posted, those styles do tend to stand out in a self-conscious way.
But yeah I'd start with the "Big 3" of Tumblr, Twitter, and IG. If you only start with one I do suggest Tumblr or Twitter.
kindred scaffold
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm not too concerned about getting noticed or anything like that. I just think having an account for art would be good so I have a source for my art.
No way am I going back to deviantART. Too many bad memories.
velvet sun
deviant art is cursed
tawny lynx
Me pulling out 10 foot list of my issues with DeviantArt.
I think the most ideal art website would basically be a 'booru with enhanced social features (and, you know, default NSFW filtering).
Pixiv is really close but you need to get a subscription to get any of the useful functions, like sorting results by most popular. Also it's not entirely localized.
glacial fox
Artstation is more or less portfolio website for professional artists that are looking for job
lol
dire plaza
I'm a little intimidated by ArtStation tbh, since everything on there is so professional
Hm, but I might have to think twice about getting a DA account! I was considering it for a while for the heck of it, but...yeah, not so sure now
glacial fox
Yea, Artstation atmosphere is really just for pros
there are hobby artists
but even their fanart or whatever are pro level
but it is a good place to find refs
glacial fox
there are time you can learn from others art
like a really good landscape artist
you can see how they refine landscape painting
rather than looking at actual photo
and doesn't really know how to paint it
in this case pro works could probably give you an idea
like how they use the brushes
or some professional 3D artist, give you plenty of ref for material
dayum
dire plaza
Certainly! You can gain a lot of valuable information by studying other artists.
I mainly use IG, maybe one day I'll get Twitter. Sorry y'all, but I've heard too many Tumblr horror stories.
velvet sun
ugh tumblr is ass
dire plaza
It's still got some active users, but from what I'm aware of it's really dwindling
mighty bronze
in the end you should use what feels ok with you
dire plaza
I do like most of IG (it's less...political than Twitter) but yeah the algorithm sucks
velvet sun
IG is pretty much the only social media platform i use, and even then, it's to keep in contact with literally one friend,, other than that, i just follow art accounts
dire plaza
Ah, neat! Yeah, I have a lot of IRL friends on there who don't really post much
mighty bronze
I like tumblr more now because I could customize themes the way I wanted and it looks neato
dire plaza
That's true. It's kind of annoying how little you can customize on IG
velvet sun
the fandoms im in makes tumblr literally awful, like it's so toxic to the point where i just delete my entire account and never touch it again
dire plaza
Oh gosh, that's most of the stories I've heard. If I may ask, what fandom is it? Not Stardew I hope!
velvet sun
mostly like, anime and stuff
kindred scaffold
I might just go with Instagram. I've tried Twitter, Tumblr and deviantArt and disliked all of them.
mighty bronze
fandom is a group of people that shares art experiences and advices something something
dire plaza
There's a lot of great Stardew art on there! It's a smaller community, but really fun to hang out in!
Don't worry, I know what a fandom is! I'm not that uncultured!
velvet sun
i might pick up tumblr again for the sake of following artists that i like, ,,,,, but it's probably gonna just sit there and rot while i post art once a month like instagram lol
dire plaza
Yeah, Tumblr does have a lot of good stuff despite its...interesting userbase
kindred scaffold
I think Twitter is probably the worse I got so annoyed seeing all the useless stuff that would show up on the home page.
velvet sun
ugh twitter is even worse
mighty bronze
tumblr is exactly the page that got me back into drawing, actually an artist which I love their style a lot

That's really amazing. You should do a speedpaint of one.
glacial fox
it is just a photo study
i may do one if it is my own idea
and
know how to actually record
lol ...
mighty bronze
just don't push yourself too hard
mighty bronze
lmaooo

glacial fox
i am getting use to painting
which is a good thing for me
i have been pretty much think i can't paint at all
turn out
you just need to do it slow
how it was during afternoon
glacial fox
i am hoping making it more obviously that it is painted
while keeping some element of the actual thing
i got warned in a server for post random photos
lmao

When you try to eyedrop someone’s skin but it turns blue 😩
paper musk
i feel that so hard
i've given up on eyedropping skin because everyone turns into some kind of zombie
glacial fox
lol you guys need to learn ambient light
skin can be affect by the environment light
paper musk
sometimes we only have so many pictures of someone though
i made a stardew portrait for an online friend and i didn't have that many pics onhand so 🤷♀️
glacial fox
well i am commenting about eyedrop skin turn blue
remember if it is outdoor
the skin got blue color on it because of the sky
try to stand in the light, have a blue or green shirt, put your hand near your chest
you see your hand turn somewhat blue/green
if it is the other area, either there is a blue light reflect near it ( or just blue color light as main light )
but it can also be this
" Many conditions can cause your skin to have a bluish tint. For example, bruises and varicose veins can appear blue in color. Poor circulation or inadequate oxygen levels in your blood stream can also cause your skin to turn bluish. This skin discoloration is also known as cyanosis. "

oblique fable
does this?? look right?? I've only drawn motorcycles a couple times before, and not with anyone sitting on it so sdifhsdufhsdf
glacial fox
why not just find a ref to help
oblique fable
because i don't want to end up heavily referencing something
glacial fox
wew, good luck on improving then
ancient prawn
references are a good tool, you shouldn't feel bad for using them!
glacial fox
Imma just make real quick of how this work buddy
First, riding pose
best advice or anything correct you can find is
ref
real people riding it
then motorcycles are heavily mechanical
and you can't put random parts
so you don't want to use ref
good luck wasting time
oblique fable
You don't need to be rude
glacial fox
I am not being rude
i have seen a lot of people who refuse to use ref
and end up like that
so please don't
i went through that too
ancient prawn
using refs isn't a bad thing, that's just a bullshit idea someone thought up
deft zinc
because i don't want to end up heavily referencing something
@oblique fable das okay, using ref correctly is also a skill that should be mastered
dont feel guilty about using ref unless u trace it
oblique fable
Yeah, I've found using refs makes it hard for me to learn myself though. I end up focusing on the small details that ultimately don't matter
lament turtle
experienced artists just have all the references in their head
deft zinc
but! the positive side - u learn absolutely anything starting from copying to understand things. so its also not bad but necessary step
experienced artists just have all the references in their head
@lament turtle thats not true actually
velvet sun
Hgnghn i have like 30 tabs open, half of them are references
ancient prawn
experienced artists just have all the references in their head
@lament turtle no they don't, such thinking is actually harmful to learning artists. pros use refs liberally, it's one of the reasons their work is so good
deft zinc
experienced artists know how to use references faster and more flexible, and also don't need them fro absolutely any step, but if they dont want to waste time and produce ugly shit they use refs
lament turtle
“all” was the wrong word
glacial fox
welp not sure if everyone is taking what solo mean wrong
lament turtle
shrug
deft zinc
there is awesome group on fb called LevelUp - there are artists who work for movies everyone watch, they show their process, and damn u should know how many refs they use
glacial fox
I kind of don't like LevelUp, they tend to ignore newbie
Yes it is possible
but
using all was a wrong word
but using what they learn is right
it is possible for them to remember everything they learnt
deft zinc
well, one still can watch profs in work and learning from ppl who are in industry
