Heh, back then i caused a quite controversy by lowering the quality of my artstyle, yet it turns out i discovered another artstyle
what was your art like before you "lowered the quality"?
back to my point: noses eat π©
I dont call it low quality jun
Thank god bc i would fight u
OOO like the emily and abigail??
I mean lowering the quality of your artstyle doesnt mean your art is still considered low quality afterwards
That art style precious π
Because in the end, people will judge it, not mine
Its so cute~
It was drawn so quick without thinking on references, anatomy rule, etc
Even there is rule of anatomy in chibi
anatomy 
Because you cant make your art too realistic in anatomy in chibi arts
Fun stuff :)
Because you cant make your art too realistic in anatomy in chibi arts
I CAN DO ANYTHING [proceeds to draw realistic face on chibi head]
please do
I'm such a dolt where is prompts exactly
plot twist: i can't draw realistic faces. :')
I mean ofc you can aiku
What matter is people will the one who judge it anyway
oh it's not highlighted as a channel for me
Who knows if you discovered something new
Its in the events chann- oh
Youre not in the events channel bc u didnt participate in the event
Maybe you cant access it?
that's probably it yeah
Aw :(
welp guess my lurking ways have caught up to me eheh
I'd appreciate that coldazreal
pog :0
Hand in progress
i believe u can overcome this harsh struggle βοΈ
if u want my feedback, id recommend making the part of the hand connecting to the arm a bit more rounded
so it gives off more of a thin effect in the wrist
xd the reference was my hand and I don't have a wrist owo
no wrist
wait what
no wrist!
ho-
Lol most of hands I draw is always based on my own hands as well π
Be it man or woman characters
i try to refference from pics when possible, but when the perspective, pose is too complex i just do the same lmao
all this talk about drawing has gotten me in the mood for it~
Hell, complex poses 
today is the first day of my second quarter and I have no time for drawing sadly because turns out they decided to make it harder
Would be better if you have 3d model app for that or just google at least poses thats close to it
I try i try
I also wanna pick up a faster pace when drawing
Wanna make a comic someday
But it will probs never happen bc of my pessimism
Haheha
Imagine if you have to do this pose
https://sheercoldazrael.tumblr.com/post/187119487625/s-a-u-r-f-a-n-g-abigail-cleave-commissioned-by
Im legit standing in mirror while doing that jeez
I felt like almost tripping
Nice coloring!
Gimme a villager to draw
That isnt krobs heh
Ive already drawn em π€
Try do someone thats not popular, maybe gil?
Uhhh gil was the grandpa in the adventurers club?
Well there are 2 grandpas in there but yeah
The one who sits in rocking chair
Imagine being a god at art (coldazrael)
Oh please cake theres still lots for me to learn lol
did i just give up on the hand? yes, yes i did
My experience is still 1 year in digital arts
If you want to call someone's god of arts, I'd name @storm meadow
*goddess actually
Oof demo
In digital arts jun
S-same
Not in every arts in general
I mean ive been drawing ever since 10 years old
But I didnt count it as professional experience surely
Because the difference of method and style of the art
I just started drawing with pentab in 2019
I mean, i cant tell when i would define i started drawing professionally
Its kinda blurry
So thats only 1 year experience
I have a mystery ping in here 
Ghost pings 
#creative message
This is the abomination, born during the 1st day after I bought my wacom one small
That's better than anything I've ever done
I mean most artists kinda see things like that cake
As if my art feels inferior to someone elses
Yeah but unless it's pixel art my art sucks
Aqua?
Lapis~
Look at the hands
Steven universe future was depressing
Depressingly good
Guess stevo isnt a kid anymor :(
Bit late to the convo, but Aiku's pretty good, as long as the style consistency can be taken care of.
@unborn granite I didn't really like future
It wasent good nor bad
I think it's more comparing it to the original and all the hopes I had for it
I had to high expectation
Well 1 year of bloody sacrifices cake lmao
I mean i liked future bc of thw character arc and growth
How it treats infantilization, growing up and stuff
And this is the price of that 1 year struggle : one hell of acid reflux
Otherwise its just a depressing version of the original
You have no idea how many cups of coffee i drink during that intensive training
Jesus
I've never had a cup of coffee once
AAAH @lament turtle SGDFS ; A ; thanks
i kind of disappeared from this fandom cause i found wehre all the voltron people went xD
Whereβs that
Well you better not follow my way that fot sure cake lmao
I just saw an add that made me think of a toy story esk thing set in a carnival with stuff prizes
@pastel iris I Don't Need The Coffee
Having acid reflux is not fun at all
Usually I stay up for 24+ hours at a time and that's normal
Sometimes half a week with no sleep
once a whole week
Tell that to my heartburns i have almost every single day
I have severe insomnia
Frequent night terrors
Frequent and physical sleep praylsis
So I don't need anything to keep me awake lol
Doesn't help that everyone is so fking loud and the dogs are almost always in my bed
Well one thing for sure you better not continuously staying up all night the moment you reached 20s
Right now I'm like 22 hours without sleep
I'm gonna have to force myself to sleep tonight
Hopefully that goes well
Because its starting to affect your blood pressure
Can i just drop in to say: voltron is hot
If I force myself to sleep and have a night terrors or sleep praylsis and wake up I usually can't fall back asleep
My sleep is probably like 10 hours per 48 hours
Doesnt really matter when you sleep, although it is better if you sleep at night than in daytime
Wait why are we talking about health stuff
My god this is creative discussion channel lmai
Creative health stufg
Just be sure you stay hydrated and have enough sleep
Not like forcing you to sleep at night
Have enough sleep probably won't happen but I drink alot of water
I mean the reason i say sleeping in nigjt is about your productivity
Lots of people's active during daytime than nighttime
I'm 13 so other than schoool
So not really about health stuff
Sorry to interrupt this convo but
What u reckon gil is wearing
Is it like suspenders?
.pic stardew valley gil
There's no gil emote
His outfit seems roughly similar to lewis
Aw it dont work
One of those lumberjack jackets.
Only with different color
Suspended and black swear shirt
it looks like suspenders right?
The collar is definitely not regular collar

its a sweater
Its like

what im wondering is the suspender lookin thingies
Gosh my fashion sense sucks
Looks like those fisherman sweaters.
Hes dreaming of
When he was
a young boy
His father
Took him into the city
To see a marching band
Matching band?
To see a marching band
I only know because I have a dedicated emo in another server
Is that actually cannon?
It's a song

Wrong link there we go
when I was. a YOUNG boy.
My old man never wore those
And my grandma ALWAYS with dresses
So i wouldnt know π π¦
When I was
A sad one
My friends
Took me into a barrr
To drink my problems awaaayy
Is that another chemical romance song
No...
Sounds like shane
Yoooo that's tottaly shane
Eyyyooo
π¦
Time to listen to music
Coming in prepared
I got so many diffremt sonfs
So now i have to redo my playlists π
This play list has so many of my favorite songs
I kept getting warnings of people getting into my account from random places
Why even i dont have premium
Everything from that's what I like to koyou mofumofu
Dats a rip
Welp, at least i got recommended to different artists at the start of it
So i got to know some good artists
Now the algorythm just shows me stuff i already know π
That is a rup
The swinging chair is taking longer than the old man
lmao
some kind of game perhaps
I mean i guessed that far heh
dear god
another creative way to earn free stuff
"gimme free stuff cuz I have a company"
Heckin give me that situation a few years ago and Iβd have fucking gone mad over the opportunity for good AJ items π©
some kind of game perhaps
@pastel iris @unborn granite it's like club penguin but it has way more animals
back in 2016~2017 it was thriving and living, but now it's just straight up dead
ANIMAL JAM 
AJ was also released in 2008 or 2010 iirc
animal jam was my jam
I USED TO PLAY ANIMAL JAM
okay, I don't have tho think about it that much I guess
and i'm ashamed
I'll conclude the client is definitely underaged
yeah LMAO
u learn about animals
i used to like it for that but the facts aren't exactly that interesting anymore
if only national geographic was still with em, that would be cool
at least trading it with dota or LoL skins could be better
ah is that why? ye the facts are mostly interesting for younger audience
i mean yeah
animal jam, seriously
(also this is kinda offtopic from creative;;)
also
it's good to note animal jam items are not allowed to be traded with things that arent in aj
so
I've seen someone who offered free lunch, that's even still better than animal jam items lmao
technically this kid is also disobeying the rules LOL
as far as I know, real world trading in game is usually illegal
like selling accounts or in-game items that's bought from other user instead of official game stord
yeah some people sell AJ items for real money
the AJ staff probably doesn't even care anymore

This was updated enough to the point where I will keep the old one around as well.
Nice cover, i love pixel art
hhhh i need to do more character desings,,,
Mamas big ass multi purpose kitchen knife
Is the design fantasy or is there a similar weapon?
Oh nice! I always wanted a neck trimmer
Oml Micko should I be concerned for you?
Concern is for the weak good friend
Aw okay π₯Ί
On that note. I sketched hagumi torturing flick note because I hate flick notes

danganronpa blood
Many, many tails

Aww yeah. She's my favorite 
Seb giving the Flynn Rider smolder there.

Please tell me he wears his frog on his head while he does chores.
Asks the frog for advice when he's stuck on a programming (or was it web design?) issue.
jumps around the house like a frog
wait-
sebastian has a frog?
how have i played this game so long and i dont know that
I think it's ||post-marriage||
omg i just drew him playing mc damn
the sketch is messy so ill post it soon!
you guys being all cute like he does chores but i just drew him playing minecraft damn
i'm a moron LMFAOO
minecraft was the first thing that popped into my head i thought i twas funny
Yo!! That looks amazing!!
Minecraft would be funny if your farmer comes home all dirty from farming and she sees Seb with an automated Minecraft farm setup.
lollll
Woah! The outfit design is so cool! 
That looks great :0
I really wish I could do sketches and drawings like this
matsuda reporting for dutyyy...!!
OC?
This little guy is driving me INSANE SBFB
What, his poor axe handling form?
matsuda reporting for dutyyy...!!
@glossy steppe Omg that looks so cute!!
That's not an Oc
Making custom NPCs is reaally hard for me aah
yeah its not oc lol
Tysm
!
Where's the character from then?
@tawny lynx
Ah
Death note was good untill you know what
Yeah
You know what I mean if you've seen it
Yea... that episode
He looks far moreβ approachable in your depiction.
^
one of the nicest characters in the show

Lol yws
Nothing beats anime
I HAVE THE POWER OF ANIME AND GOD ON MY SIDE BUT IM ALL OUT OF GOD
I've... tried
i think your work is pretty good π it might need more work to get it to where you want but i think you can do it
Happy L looks out of place from what I know of DN.
I'm better at pixel art
He smiles sometimes
well that one time But yes ahah its a bit out of character
you should show your pixelart cake
I have
Do you draw
π π
girls?
Occasionally ! I think i do draw more guys though
Oh yeah! those are good
the
is really cute
Half a junimo was fun^^
Anime female desgins>male
just over all I just think there desgins have more to them, while male desgins are typically more generic, while females have more expressive figures in the anime desgin.
And no don't you dare say something along the lines of "you mean the chest" becuase that's not it
No I get what you mean.
Half a junimo was fun
Oh dang.
I tried my hand at digital non pixel art and that just never goes well for me
not bad
So basically long story short
anime + pen/pencil on paper
Or pixel art
i like the eyes on that junimo at the top. The digital one.
That was my first time drawing anime eyes in color
I've worked alot on sketches since then so I think I could do better
Thats cool.
Makes it more impressive then, if it was the first time.
what bachelorette should i do next?
im planning on doing 2-3 tonight, and then ill have all of them done
ive already done penny, abigail, and haley
BAHAH
EMILYYY
HADHH
Yay
once ive done all the ladies i most likely will do the men π
Shaneeee 1st
but ive drawn men like a total of 2 times so we'll see how that goes
but i promise if i do them ill do shane first π
Yaya
Is anyone a member of a sdv server that focuses more on fan content? Like art, comics, and fics?
And fan theory** I almost forgot
W-wha? Weβre the official partnered Stardew server, dunno of any others. We focus heavily on fan content! #art-gallery is specially only for Stardew related art.
(Have a read of the #creative pins!)

We're pretty much your best bet, unless you count the relevant tags on Tumblr, assuming people tag their posts consistently.
you could always start your own!
I dont think its a weird question, there are lots of 'spin-off' servers for fandom stuffs.
Imagine having skills in drawing 
iii donnntttt knowwww whattt Iβm doiinggg
woah pretty
i need art programs that will probably kill my PC but oh well
Imagine having a cool signature
scrungy
wow, a baby . . .
grumpy lad
hmm, ask uber
...uber?
leah is best
We're pretty much your best bet, unless you count the relevant tags on Tumblr, assuming people tag their posts consistently.
@tawny lynx
Thatβs what I was afraid of π thanks for the replies tho!
If anyone has fics theyβre writing plz send them my way, Iβd love to draw some fan art for fics
Hey question
Thoughts on using mouse to draw nikto
.choose maru, leah
maru
Sometimes itβs easier if youβre doing pixel art π€ but idk I find a pen easier for most things personally
^ like that kiwi! uber's one of the bots here
I mean pixel art and mouse is as easy as phone and pixel art
Pixel art is always my best work
That's why i want to do digital
Honestly whatever you practice youβre gonna get better at. So I guess itβs more which you like better
Like some people draw some crazy complicated stuff with nothing but a mouse and Iβm like π
whoa fam, I struggle with the tablet still and you want me to do it with a mouse
kek
hair fiber collection π ~~also it looks like hes about to eat it but we dont talk about that ~~
heya L
Looks nice
Question
Anyone help me find a pose where on hand is holding a sword straight down like it's in the ground and the other dosent really matter
There are a few poses close to what I'm looking for from Saber
But nothing I really want
Yeah I can't find anything
Iβm not exactly sure what youβre after.. lemme know if these arenβt it and Iβll try and find some others @steady plover
That works! GD ftw
I wanted it a little less to the side but that's by far the closest
Can you send me a link or smth? I can't get discord on my chromebook
Actually
oH WHOOPS SORRY I DIDNT CHECK BACk
UHhhh lmk if this works https://imgur.com/a/3q6ap9R
PERFECT!
GD FTW
π
@lament turtle let's move discussion here but what i said in creative channel is still what i think
I'm gonna go to sleep rn
it's 2:36 am haha
ok!
goodnight
sleep well
i need art programs that will probably kill my PC but oh well
@velvet sun sai is good
Yes
sai is beautiful
sai is so fucking expensive though?
;3
you could probs invest in csp instead
since its around the same price i think
and csp is way better
but i personally hate csp for lineart
makes me feel restricted
csp pencil tool is not that different to sai actually
its not the tools themselves for me
if you prefer being practical and easy just go all out csp
cause csp has nice brushes
i just
find it heavy
and idk why
its just so weird to use for me
you could always adjust them or download custom brushes
ik
ive done that
it just feels weird
or now im blamin gmy computer
for being old and slow
not all sai brushes can be adjusted and imported to csp tho
i dont have any sai custom brushes
i use the defaults
if i want a bit of a texture change then i change the layer texture to paper
oh im talking about the stabilizer lmao
ahhhhhh
i dont use a stabilizer much any more
i like the loose free feeling i get without it
I tried my best to make exact same sai pencil tool with stabilizer in csp and fails lol
in the end I forced myself to adapt with default CSP pencil tool anyway
the pencil brushes ive found for csp are so ugly
i just want something with a lil bit of texture
just a little
i want a nice simple brush like this in csp
but i have yet to find one
you can add texture to brushes
here is an example of some of the brushes I use to colour
im probably gonna have to mess around with csp for a bit
but for right now
i cant get sexy lineart in it
I'm simply far too lazy to mess with CSP brushes, too many customisations π
it will take awhile to understand what all the settings for brushes do, but once you understand them all you can customize a brush to your hearts content
i want a simple
lightly textured pencil brush
what i really wanna change is the minimum size
csp brushes go so small and light with little pressure its crazy
you could always adjust pen pressure
let me check
something like this
you go to the brush you want then press the rectangle on the right of Brush Size Then you will see Brush Size dynamics then you simply uncheck Pen pressure
or you can manually put in the value's
minimum and maximum as you can see
ah yes
thank you very much
i find drawing with a pencil easier,,
yeah drawing with a physical pencil is much easier than drawing digitally
i hate traditional art
i havent dont it since i left highschool
i dont plan to ever do it again

there's no ctrl+z when traditional draw 
PS : I don't count eraser and white pencil lol
id make a mistake
get frustrated
try to erase it
then id get even more frustrated when it didnt erase properly
then id end up ripping up the whole thing
don't be afraid to use the eraser, that means you know you did things wrong and will train you to do better 
hh i fucking suck at both digital and traditional art though lmao
being able to draw on physical paper takes quite a lot of skill
i dont have the money to buy any art supplies
Idk, I feel like traditional is easier since there is where I started
you need only pen and paper
ez

nah it looks shit when i do it like that
ah, do get a sketchbook tho
now now, ima try to do Marceline and Marshall lee portraits because a friend asked me to, it's such a good idea! didn't do any in a while and I like these characters
fuck i just broke my pencil
oof
traditional art is so expensive
I mean i draw completely different when i do trad/digital
I like digital better tho~
hh sai is way too expensive for me like,, what
I feel more in control
"expensive" Ima just use my brother's colors kekw
ive never heard of any though
Firealpaca, medibang
lol i only draw sketches that i dont colour
if you have the chance do get CSP on sale, it's worth the shot
Csp?
Clip Studio
if you have the chance do get CSP on sale, it's worth the shot
@mighty bronze yeah thats true
it can go down to like
With the big watermark π π¦
25 bucks
hhh the only problem is the fact that i (for some reason??) am not really allowed to use my own money, and instead have to ask my parents
csp has a watermark?
csp is a paid program
would be pretty scummy of them to add a watermark
after I paid around 180 $ for my tablet mom was like "boi, don't even dare to tell your dad about this!" but like it's my money so lmaoooo
traditional art is good if you make less mistake
$60 tablet gang
you waste more money the more erasing or any kind of undos
unless if you're only using pencil as media
i dont have the patience for traditional art
probs why i did so much mixed media in school
I started to like mechanical pencil again
just paste on some leaves and make up some bullshit artist statement and call it a day
that moment when you have client for traditional commissions, and they said "can you change the tree to pile of rocks plz" after you've colored everything with brush
h
charge some more smh
You do give them the sketch and ask if they want to change anything!
beforehand detailing things
why is pencil broken all i did was draw a line
I love mechanical pencil only if the lead is soft
snap
2b good
man thinking about explosions reminds me one time when I was replacing a lamp bulb and when I turned it on, it exploded right in front of me
ever since then I never stand close to a light bulb when I change it and turn it on
medibang pain
Clip studio paint's perspective tools are complex
And the rest is just basic software stuff
i hate medibang
i used it once
did one artwork in it
and hated it
:(
same with krita
freaking gross
krota 
Dark πΌ
you can tell how much struggle I have with krita lol
I live on dark mode
csp has nice dark mode
simply search "krita.exe" in this server lol
dear god this is ancient art that i found in my medibang cloud
it looks so sleek now
i love it
i just need to get used to it so i can use it for lineart
might be a weird discussion here but, I'm trying to improve my clothing shading and I'm trying to do it like this; can anybody tell me how this shading is done? cuz it looks like a mixture of soft brushing and soft erasing to me but idk exactly how
how is that weird discussion amaryn, you're in right place lol
one thing for sure that's even a better shading than I do
i would assume its a lot of looking at references
this shading is godly tbh at least imo
see how cloth works in differnt light and stuff
that kind of shading is very complex
then try to recreate that using proper hard and soft shading
but idk
i dont shade like that
i barely even shade
you have to have a deep understanding on how light works and how it reflects on certain material to be able to do that kind of shading
i see at least 3 layers of shading on that one
shell...shading?
Its like
you mean cell?
no worries lel
for ref this is what i currently do with shading
π π
I believe there are 3 layers
Layer 1 is Colour
Layer 2 is Shading
Layer 3 is Gradient
damn
hot manhwa boys
AAAAAA IM SIMPING
yeah the screenshot i sent is official in-game art and my art is just fanart for the game lmao
me : having 500 layers
me : having 500 layers
@pastel iris SAME
of random stuff lol
bro he could throw me if he really wanted to
omg
i have like, folders within folders within folders
i used to use a fuck ton of layers
but ive been trying to cut down
bro he could throw me if he really wanted to
omg
@tropic halo his name is Giulio go google him you'll love h i m
Hmm there's a lot of shade going around here
My shading is just straight lines 
oooo thats so cute
oh wait I think its 600
i used to have multiple layers for sketches and lineart
even my CSP starts to lag when I open that file
because i was so scared of merging and messing someting up
i have a sketch folder and a lineart folder
so i just merge everytihng when im done
@tropic halo i can never
its easier to adjust like that
not even when im finished rendering
i wanna try one layer painting
i just merge to new layer and keep all the originals in a backup folder
but i have to learn how to paint first
I only need 4 layers
- sketch
- lineart
- coloring
-shading (multiply)
my layers usually look like this before i start colouring
the colouring is when it starts to go down hill
But
i usually make a new layer for every section i colour
i usually make a new layer for every section i colour
@tropic halo me too, new layer for each part
I feel like u should turn down the min size
U dont seem to be getting much line variation
my layers usually look like this before i start colouring
@tropic halo damn, refs? i havent used references for so long i-
If any
i use a lot of references
i only use refs for weapons
mine's labyrinth
guns knives etc
relatable
mine's labyrinth
@pastel iris you're just like me lmao
sometimes I tend to forget renaming my layers
One thing i cant stand is how folders look in photoshop
i try my best to name them
I can never tell when smth is inside them
I finally finished the shading for half the cloths 
cause if i dont
im gonna end up hurting my brain
this is one of my finished ones
WHOa
I finally finished the shading for half the cloths
@mossy leaf oo looking good
ASDJFLADSFJ IDK
ive started to merge a lot
so i dont really end up with many layers anymore
Ama... you really need to combine layers
I never go over 20 even for complex stuff
I'm not that detailed like amaryn lol
Ama... you really need to combine layers
@mossy leaf i cant,,, i physically cannot bring myself to do it
lots of layers become over whelming to me
i just use folders
you still name the layers
The more layers there is the longer it takes to render the final image into a png file
I used to use 30-40 layers just for my sketches
so i can collapse them and then they will look like a layer ajdslfja
i end up putting shit on the wrong layer
then i get mad and delete the whole thing
gd what-
Why do humans need so many layers
The more layers there is the longer it takes to render the final image into a png file
@mossy leaf it takes around 10-20 secs for me its ok i can wait
30-40?!?!?!?!
i use like 2 or 3 max
FOR A SKETCH
Every single individual detail was put on a seperate layer so I didnβt stress about fucking it up

π
This is pure insanity
and i end up merging them when im confident it looks nice
what is the purpose of naming your layer anyway, as long you have good memory π€£
Every single individual detail was put on a seperate layer so I didnβt stress about fucking it up
@grand cave for me that would be more stressing
Folder: hand
Layers: 84
what is the purpose of naming your layer anyway, as long you have good memory π€£
@pastel iris bruh i can NEVER not name my layers when i go into into the piece
gd probs has a layer for each finger
Each knuckle
and i end up merging them when im confident it looks nice
@tropic halo but.. but what if you regret it
this hand is probably the best ting ive ever drawn and iwill never draw anything like it again
@tropic halo but.. but what if you regret it
@exotic snow i wont
I only name some key layers, usually folders or base colours
its a sketch i just erase the bits i dont like and do it over
shades and lightings? what even for π€£
this is my layers for my current drawing
it can be messy as hell
its just a sketch
My magnum opus
this is my layers for my current drawing
@mossy leaf o brrrr two layers for shading? cant relate
My magnum opus
@unborn granite some da vinci art right here
That was a funny day in class
gd probs has a layer for each finger
@tropic halo yes I still do this
good luck telling what layer is that
200?!?!?!??!?!?!?
omg i was joking-
lmao
muybrainaaaaaaaaaa
well I reached 550s unnamed layers ama
and LOOK AT THE SCROLL BAR LMAOOO
jesus
my top record so far
I feel like screaming now
sweet jesus
Anxiety
i usually get to around
20 or so layers
especially with all the clipping, i could just accidentally move one layer and then boom colour spill
imagine creating a layer everytime you make a new stroke with a brush
oi nah
ofc, that one before is still one folder
i do that sometimes for tedious stuff
so i can adjust it and transform without affecting the other stuff
i do it mainly for lineart
but i always merge after
there's still more folders π€£
ohgod
why do you not put all the characters in one folder
come now amaryn, if you put all character in one folder, it's even more confusing
ive worked with all the colours on one layer
i kinda like it
i end up using the magic wand if i want more detailed stuff for shading
I mean there's already heck ton of layers in 1 character
but i feel more secure with a colour per layer
you're suggesting to combine em? π
i dont trust the magic wand
magic wand is meh
theres always missed pixels
can always go back and adjust
If theres lineart it doesnt matter
I'm still drawing manually
or expand the pixels
If the wand takes the color layer
clipping is my only friend
And not the lineart layer that is
ive started to colour stuff in by hand tho
good
instead of using the fill tool
the fill tool is very meh
i use lasso fill
or sometimes I converted the file to psd in order to use krita selection tool
then return it back to csp
I used to do the same when I'm still using sai+krita nae lel
i used krita for like, one event art for the server and uninstalled it lmao
clipping is my best friend
sai was kinda hard to get used to so i just stick with csp
clipping is my best friend
@tropic halo yes someone who understands me
sai was kinda hard to get used to so i just stick with csp
@exotic snow legit the opposite for me
and that's why I stopped krita
@pastel iris oh? i've never had that problem tho, the brushes and response rate were just low for me
csp is hard to get used to so i mainly stick to sai
lmao
oh and I'm working in 3k+ resolution amaryn
sai's UI is too simple for my taste imo
that is also the reason π€£
oh and I'm working in 3k+ resolution amaryn
@pastel iris i work 5500*6500 most of the time
i remember trying krita
i couldnt even draw a proper circle
it was so janky
my PC is potato
sai's UI is too simple for my taste imo
@exotic snow i like how simple it is
i wanted to like it but-
drawing a circle, jeez
i remember trying krita
i couldnt even draw a proper circle
it was so janky
@tropic halo YES
circular selection tool exists
or just, big round brush, erase the middle
i like drawing my circles by hand
me too
i dont like when its too perfect looking
like sketchy soft pencil circles
not my style
I'm using pencil tool as well, but I'm still using perfect circle as the guide
but these days i dont really use circles anymore come to think of it
so in a nutshell : I'm tracing it
i just pop the face in
the head shape i mean
oh speaking of tracing
what do you guys think it's alright to trace and what isn't? obvs other people's work isn't but what else?
i dont use guidelines much anymore
well tracing is totally okay if you're not posting your work that for sure
i justlike
do the face shape
then i add the lil cross to get the position of the eye nose mouth and ears
I mean online, even though you credit the artist
thats about it
^ yeah sure i get what you mean, as in learning art
sometimes i'll trace 3d car models if i want to quickly get the shapes right but thats about it i think
like complex 3d objects
tracing someone's art is worse crime compared to stealing someone's artstyle
artstyle theft is a thing?
i have commited 17 war crimes over the past week
well technically all artstyles are mixtures of other artstyles sooo
yeah
if art style theft is a thing then in the end we're all just stealing god's art style
sadly amaryn, there are some artist who's so entitled to themselves
but ofc if you took too much inspo from one artstyle then your art might end up looking too much like the original
as if stealing artstyle or copying even with permission is bad in general lol
i dont think its a ting
ironically, it's from this server, not gonna name the artist themselves but hopefully they'd be better realize what are we talking about
imo its acceptable if you just decide to do, e.g. highlights like this one artist, or use the same lineart tech as this one artist etc.
cause everyone is inspired by someone
theres little aspect to other people's art that you like
oh? tea
tea.
are we going to some shading here
HHHh medibang sucks so,,, what are the other art programs that are free?
everyone here has committed 100+ war crimes
there was one that was free and I can't remember it's name
let me find it
fire alpaca
Krita
krita is ass dont touch it
ew krita
autodesk sketchbook? idk it doesnt even have clipping what am i even on about
ik this great artist that uses sketchbook
indeed nae, I really doubt an artist nowdays able to create a style without referencing the others
her stuff is so sexy
autosketch is more for like.. uh, determined artists
my "artstyle" is just a mixture of stuff ive seen and liked
^ same
same as you are
right i'll try firealpaca then
some of the people im inspired by have artstyles that completely differs to mine
isnt medibang the same "branch" as firealpaca
i probs just like the way they coloured
or the way they do lineart
you can try MyPaint
never heard of that one
was googling that one but i missed a letter and googled "mypain" instead and honestly? relatable
lmao
was looking for art software and find this expensive one
excuse me what
copying an artstyle is waste of time anyway, I mean like 100%, unless if you're just doing it for 1 art only
and i want a screen tablet so bad omfg
