[gloomy turtle]

oof

I'm glad you started again az

[tropic halo]

his art is nice

[gloomy turtle]

damn

[pastel iris]

though it's different form of drawing arcane

[pastel iris]

I really never have any thoughts on drawing tablet during my highschool days

I always thought it's lame

and funny thing I ended up buying one

and start comms with it

[gloomy turtle]

I feel bad that I wasted money on a screen tablet

[unborn granite]

im so happy with my non-screen tablet

[tropic halo]

i only got a cheap one cause i planned to use it once and never again

[unborn granite]

i think im gonna upgrade to another one like it

[tropic halo]

lowkey regret not splurging more
but i dont need to
this one works fine

but a screen tab sounds nice

[gloomy turtle]

yeah now I'm sticking to my non screen tablet it's more reliable

[unborn granite]

Whats the downside of screen tablet?

[pastel iris]

expensive

[unborn granite]

didnt it work properly? was it too heavy?

[tropic halo]

incredibly expensive

[gloomy turtle]

mine was glitchy connecting the screen

[pastel iris]

simply expensive, that's why I avoid screen tablet

[gloomy turtle]

so often the video would turn on and off

[unborn granite]

i have a friend who is starting out with art and wants to straight up buy one of those

[gloomy turtle]

start cheap

[pastel iris]

to be honest I have thoughts on buying one, but the moment I know I'm already used to non-screen drawing tablet, I changed my mind

[tropic halo]

it was be easier to adjust to digital art with a screen i assume
but its not necessary

[unborn granite]

and its difficult to tell her "look im not saying ut not gonna be an artist in the future but its better to start cheap and low and buy a better one when ur TRULY sure this is what u wanna do"

[tropic halo]

i mean
most artists start out with a cheap pad tablet

even the popular professionals

its a big investment to go straight to a screen tab

[unborn granite]

bc she takes it as if im insinuating that shes not gonna be a digital artist ever, when i just mean... try it out before buying the expensive damn thing??

[tropic halo]

simply because theyre so expensive

but if she has the money she should go for it ig
its her money

[unborn granite]

Its her money at the end of the day, but i find it reckless that she hasnt even TRIED digital art

and wants to go for a 1000€ screen tablet

bc hey im gonna be a professional in the future

so better to buy expensive from the get go

[pastel iris]

there's even no guarantee if screen tablets makes your art better anyway

[tropic halo]

bro

that logic is so dumb

it makes it easier thats for sure
but the only thing that makes your art better is your own skill

[unborn granite]

like even when i KNEW i wanted to do art or die in the process i still starded... yknow,,, slow??

[pastel iris]

depends on the person, again

if the person is used on drawing straight on screen, there is guarantee

[tropic halo]

its easier to adjust to since youre drawing directly on the tablet

[unborn granite]

the thing is... shes not used to drawing

at

all

[tropic halo]

damn

[unborn granite]

not even sketching for fucks sake

[tropic halo]

but yeah its her money

[unborn granite]

doodling???

[tropic halo]

she can do what she wants to and face the consequences herself

[pastel iris]

then that's you nae, and lots of artist experienced that, it's understandable really

[unborn granite]

shes not my friend friend, only a school classmate but i feel worried for her

1000€ is alot

again, not saying u must know how to draw traditional to do digital, but she doesnt even doodle a bit

[pastel iris]

I have friend that tried screen tablet once, they ended up drawing slower than they used to be with non screen tablets

[tropic halo]

well yeah
it all boils down to what youre used to

[pastel iris]

"easier to adjust" in the end is subjective

[tropic halo]

im just saying transitioning from paper to tablet would be way easier if youre drawing directly on the screen

but if youre coming from a pad tablet to a screen then it might feel wonky

[pastel iris]

and my logic still stands, in the end there is no guarantee you'd make better arts with it, because people's eyes is always subjective

[tropic halo]

ok

[unborn granite]

Im sad :(

I like my old artstyle but i cant recreate it anymore

How i mixed highlighters was genious

Ive lost ✨the touch✨

[pastel iris]

if screen tablets have guarantee in improving my arts within days I'd take it honestly, yet sadly I already can tell it took more time to me to adapt the screen tab 1st

[tropic halo]

i dont think your tablet affect your art quality

[pastel iris]

which is I need to close my commissions for no idea when do I became adapt to it, cutting my source of income

[tropic halo]

it wont improve it if you dont improve

[pastel iris]

I can't take the risk to straight up having comms while in my 1st time I use a tool that is new, whether it's tablet or software

[tropic halo]

well i mean
if you get a screen tab youll still have your old one id assume
do your comms with what youre used to and practice with the screen tab on your own time

[pastel iris]

I know my brain too well and I can't handle it

managing money is already hard enough and I'm not adding managing on drawing tools

you could say that maybe because you're still young and have much time to learn nae

[unborn granite]

Hav this good ol boys on the beach

why cant my hands do the thing anymore AAAAAA

[lament turtle]

Finished!

Now a name

He still doesn't have lol

[pastel iris]

dat moment when your pal is drowning and you ignored it

[lament turtle]

[unborn granite]

Oh matt? Hes always drowning

Be it water or alcoholic bevrages :D

[bleak bloom]

that pirate reminds me of the pirates from Fire Emblem

[pastel iris]

hard to think for pirate names

[bleak bloom]

either sacred stones or blazing blade, i dont remember which

[pastel iris]

usually it's simple tho, most famous pirates are usually using english name anyway

[unborn granite]

John smith, the pirate 😼

[lament turtle]

Yeah, I want a simple name, since he is more a Brazilian character

[lament turtle]

beautiful lol

[pastel iris]

yep, even john smith matches quite well with pirate theme

[unborn granite]

What happens if i reply to a reply

Oh

It builds up

[pastel iris]

ah I remember now, I usually added nickname between when I used to name some outlaws including pirates

[unborn granite]

I expected it to be possible to do a reply chain

[pastel iris]

like for example : Bartholomew "Barty" Roberts

[lament turtle]

Lol great idea

Tails "Miles" Prower

[unborn granite]

John "pirate" Smith 😼

[lament turtle]

[pastel iris]

or maybe Percival "Percy" Adams

[unborn granite]

Edge"lawyer"worth

[pastel iris]

lol

miles is indeed edge worthy lawyer

[lament turtle]

I like this

[unborn granite]

Pirate boy has a James vibe

[lament turtle]

Lol

James remind me of a Butler

[unborn granite]

James "bucketspit" Waleston

[pastel iris]

also I remembered this from kitchen nightmares

it's not pirate but he sounds like pirate

[unborn granite]

Because he can spit in any bucket no matter how far

[pastel iris]

his name is Richard "Pa Butt" James

if I remember it right

[lament turtle]

[unborn granite]

That emoji is so UwU its painful

[bleak bloom]

this is silly but i found what your pirate reminded me of lol

[pastel iris]

though I've no idea what Pa butt means

how on earth pirate with axes works

[unborn granite]

James "axewielder" Robertson

[bleak bloom]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lament turtle]

Lmao

Lol

I'll stick with the Percy name

It works in portuguese too

[pastel iris]

but maybe you'd think to change the last name

[unborn granite]

Percy is good pirate name

[lament turtle]

Percy priest

[unborn granite]

ARRRRR Percy BRING THE BROOM

[lament turtle]

Wait wtf keyboard

[pastel iris]

maybe name it percy cervantes or something

wait a sec, is cervantes even portuguese lol

[unborn granite]

plot twist hes the father id the dude who wrote don quijote

[pastel iris]

I already hard time enough to differ between spanish and portuguese, yet people's names are even hard to tell

[lament turtle]

Probably? I don't recall now

Percy Silverman

[unborn granite]

And cervantes is spanish

Idk any portuguese sounding names tho

Im from spain but im AS far from portugal as spain can get

[lament turtle]

Percy Silverman can be translated to Percival Silveira

[unborn granite]

The other corner of the peninsula man

[lament turtle]

I live in Brazil

[unborn granite]

Well thats even further

[pastel iris]

I've seen some people with from spain, portugal and brazil, but as SE asian it's still hard to differ between their names

it's like how indonesian, malaysian, and brunei names

sounds so similar

[unborn granite]

What about italian and spanish? Ive heard people have more difficulties between those

Frenchs are kinda obious for some reason

[lament turtle]

Yeah

[pastel iris]

ah right, that goes the same to italian names as well

sometimes I still find italian names sounds rather spanish lol

[unborn granite]

I mean i guess as a latin language speaker it does sound kinda different to me

But i cant tell russian and nordic lenguages apart in general

[pastel iris]

to be frank it's quite easier to tell

but to compare nordic names to germanic names, that's even harder

[unborn granite]

I can some asian lenguages apart, but thats probably from my weaboo era

Like chinese, korean and japanese sound so obious to me

[pastel iris]

and african names, I even have zero idea about it

[unborn granite]

Again, probs the weeb speaking

African... Some are easier to me

Morocco names have a certain sound to them

[tropic halo]

african names are easy to recognize imo

[unborn granite]

The rest is just impossible for me

[pastel iris]

uh I mean to differ between other africans

like I surely think names in congo and south africa should be different

[unborn granite]

Like, an egiptian name from a uganda name

[pastel iris]

egyptian, moroccan, tunisian, algerian is still easy to tell

when it goes south that starts get harder

[unborn granite]

I kinda vibe with that

[pastel iris]

turk names can be confusing sometimes

[unborn granite]

Another good one is different spanish from latin america

The one i can tell appart the EASIEST is argentina

Their spanish has such a unique sound to ir

[pastel iris]

how about some carribeans?

[unborn granite]

Mhh yes beans

Mexican is easy enough

[tropic halo]

are there any native caribbean names?

[unborn granite]

But then go down and i cant anymore

[tropic halo]

all the names ive heard here are just named form other parts of the world

other than like
the made up shit where parents put like 50 names together

or combine their names to name their kid

[unborn granite]

Theres like native maya/inca names

But idk if that has influence?

The caribbean is like, further north where that happened

[pastel iris]

I wonder if some spaniards have arab sounding names?

judging from history

[unborn granite]

THEY SURE DO

Mostly Andalucíans

Bc yknow

[pastel iris]

aye, reconquista stuff

[unborn granite]

Yaaaas

Thats also why andaluz has the best food in my opinion

And coolest looking old architecture

The rest of us are just boring regular catholics :(

With the spanish inquisition and stuff

Sad

[pastel iris]

you always feel that way because you keep seeing catholics stuff

here I am I got bored with mosques with same design over and over again

[unborn granite]

But!! Theres some really cool tiles??

[pastel iris]

people are naturally drawn to something that they never seen before

[unborn granite]

Anndd!! Food has spices??!

[pastel iris]

well I don't really know spanish foods to be honest lol

[unborn granite]

Not just oregano and uhhh

Rosemary

[pastel iris]

I mean like, when it comes about architectural building, it's easy for you to attracted to something that's unique in your place

[unborn granite]

Fair

Where i live its all grimy old buildings

No classics to be seen besides the market places

[pastel iris]

also it's funny that I got sick of spices

[unborn granite]

Those have been around FORVER

[pastel iris]

because I've been eating spicy foods like almost single day

[unborn granite]

I mean it broke my heart first time eating ham outside of spain

Like, the red kinda ham

Like the world just doesnt eat ham from the leg?? They only eat pink ham?? Bad quality pink ham?

What do they eat their tomato/oil bread with?? Thats not a thing in some places??

Tragic really

[pastel iris]

can't tell about ham looks like, since I live in an area with muslim majority, and I'm allergic to pork

so the only thing I know is boar meat

someone's stocking boar meats around here tho

[unborn granite]

Its like ham but

Dryer?

But not hard

Like turkey ham

But more salty

[pastel iris]

so it's like a jerky?

[unborn granite]

And flavorful kn general

No no no

Americans dont know sht about meat

Beside bacon, i can make an exception for that

[pastel iris]

careful lots of americans here 👀

[unborn granite]

They dont have the superior ham

Like its kinda like bacon in the sense that it drys

But i dont know really how they do it it aint like that

[pastel iris]

too bad, if that didn't cause swelling and itchy I'd eat that

[unborn granite]

Maaan

At least u can have a good potato tortilla with tomato bread

Or bunny/duck paella

[pastel iris]

if potato tortillas exists here, because usually what I found is corn tortillas

[unborn granite]

People overrate the fish paella

[pastel iris]

a.k.a. common tortillas

[unborn granite]

Oh tortilla is like

Omelette

Eggs with potato

[pastel iris]

you what now

[unborn granite]

Theres also plain tortilla

[pastel iris]

I thought tortilla refers to..

[unborn granite]

Yeah, tortilla patatas

[pastel iris]

well you know

something to wrap burritos and tacos

[unborn granite]

Idk about other places but in spain tortilla is omelettw

[pastel iris]

and funny thing, lots of people made shawarma and kebabs using tortillas than pita breads here 😓

[unborn granite]

Pita breads are so good

I like em more than the tortillas tbh

Or whatever they're called

[pastel iris]

so in a nutshell, tortillas refers to different things in spain and mexico then

right I'll note that

[gloomy turtle]

[unborn granite]

Would send pic but google aint letting me downlod imgs for some reason

[pastel iris]

majority of people thinks tortillas is used for kebabs, some knows about burritos and tacos, but never seen one who knows about spanish tortilla

[unborn granite]

ALSO WHOA WE GOT OFF TOPIC

hARD

[pastel iris]

not really I think

culture counts as art 🤣

[unborn granite]

I meaaaaaan

Faiiir???

[pastel iris]

alright I just googled it

and okay, that simply is way too different lol

[unborn granite]

Look at this bad boy

Theres usually no weird flower thing

Oh but it just struck me

When its potatoe omelette its tortilla de patatas

But for plain omelette its tortilla francesa

Franch omelette

This

If someone says tortilla this is my go to^

Scrambled eggs

Like tortilla with no specification is usually french omelette

[pastel iris]

I can tell my parents will go freak out if I made spanish tortillas

"stop wasting da eggs you degenerate"

[unborn granite]

Its just scrambled eggs

With salt

And u can add frankfurts or whatever

[pastel iris]

wait but it has to be super thicc right?

[unborn granite]

Not really?

[pastel iris]

but the one you posted is thicc

[unborn granite]

Thicc tortillas are good

But i like em thin

Kinda like crépes it comes to taste and ability

[pastel iris]

those thicc tortillas reminds me of okonomiyaki, but without sauces

[unborn granite]

If u can go for a thin crépe then go for it u master

Oh tru japanese do omelettes like that too

But they do smth different

Idk what but they are SO SPONGY

[pastel iris]

you wut? okonomiyaki is nowhere spongy at all

[unborn granite]

The one i sent arent really how ur classic handmade tortilla lookd

Theyre usually thinner and uhh less appealing

[pastel iris]

oh wait, you must be referring to that fluffy omelette

idk if that's even originated from japan tbh

[unborn granite]

Oh idk what okonomiyaki is

I assumed it was that square ish omelette

[pastel iris]

https://tenor.com/view/okonomiyaki-japanese-food-gif-6079737

[unborn granite]

That looks...

Unappealing

[pastel iris]

as I said, okonomiyaki without sauces

[unborn granite]

Like fried egg?

[pastel iris]

see the right

not just fried eggs

you mix it with noodle, cabbages, and others

[unborn granite]

Oh jeez

French omelette is more like

Simple

U can mix it with veggies tho

Asparragus omelette is oretty common during the season

[pastel iris]

oh no I'm comparing the thicc tortillas to okonomiyaki before

not the thin version

[unborn granite]

Ohh

Potatoe omelette

Like this bad boy

Yumsies

Mouth is literally watering

Too much food talk

[pastel iris]

make the mods out of those foods

shifts the topic back on purely arts again 😆

[unborn granite]

HEH

imma go sleep tho

Was fun talking about how good food is

[pastel iris]

aye, nice to see I learned something new lol

[unborn granite]

Nightsies!

[pastel iris]

adios

[unborn granite]

Sayonara

[open tulip]

what downloadable drawing programs should i check out?

[gloomy summit]

Drawpile?

[pastel iris]

I don't know

drawpile needs to be downloaded choog

[open tulip]

gnjfrkerfgn i meant that lmao

i didn't know the word for that

[pastel iris]

I personally won't recommend online drawing program but it's up to you

[open tulip]

i'm big brain

[tropic halo]

csp

[pastel iris]

they are usually not reliable compared to downloaded ones

[tropic halo]

you can sign up for the free trial

[gloomy summit]

BSDN I'm confused but ok

[tropic halo]

get one month access to ex and all its features

sai is nice as well

[open tulip]

csp looks cool oo

[tropic halo]

firealaca is
meh
i used it for a long time but its not very nice compared to sai and csp

some peeps like medibang

dont use krita
fuck krita

all my homies hate krita

[pastel iris]

I think north is referring to drawing softwares can be accessed online nae?

[open tulip]

i don't like krita too much it was extremely confusing

just drawing softwares in general

i'm bad with words, my apologies

[tropic halo]

is what they said

[pastel iris]

so far CSP is the best for me

which is they recently edited that nae kek

[open tulip]

jvfmvbmmf

[pastel iris]

if you want to use krita tho

just be sure to embrace the constant crash

[open tulip]

is csp a one time buy?

[tropic halo]

krita stinky

dont touch it
and yes it is

unless youre using the ipad version
i think thats a monthyly payment thing

[open tulip]

$50 but one time purchase

[tropic halo]

and someone here said theyre paying monthly for their pc version of csp
idk how that works or why you would do that but its an option ig

[open tulip]

huh interesting

thank you for your suggestions

[tropic halo]

np

[pastel iris]

dark history of mine

[tropic halo]

ive been through a lot of drawing programs in my time

[open tulip]

i've mostly used medibang, fire, and sketchbook pro

....mostly cuz they free lmao

[tropic halo]

i hate medibang

its just
an ugly version of firealpaca

didnt have good experiences with it

but a lot of people like it

[open tulip]

i dislike how small the largest size of brush is for medi

i like the cloud feature tho

[stuck robin]

ik ppl dont like krita here but ive only had good experiences with it

[tropic halo]

must be nice

[glossy steppe]

frogy

[lament turtle]

And then she kissed him! and he turned into a prince

[tawny lynx]

Wait, turns into Seb. Actually I'm surprised it hasn't been done before.

[lament turtle]

[bleak bloom]

for art programs i mostly agree with those opinions^
krita is trash
csp good but expensive
firealpaca is trash
medibang is slightly better, i used it for 2 years
paint tool sai is good. i dont remember the price

[tropic halo]

csp isnt expensive
the pro version that is

for what you get with the 50 bucks its worth it

you get access to the entirety of the assets store

[lament turtle]

add lama ples almighty game devs

[tropic halo]

a lot of comic making features

[austere moat]

csp goes on sale often, i remember i got the ex version for around $70-80

[tropic halo]

especially around this time

black friday and stuff going on

and christmas coming up

[bleak bloom]

i forgot theres a pro and ex version.

my mistake

[calm tiger]

@vagrant crow Didn't know you posted here. Just had to say, I adore your comics. 😁

[lament turtle]

Maryannn

The comic's amazing

[tropic halo]

Looks pretty damn neat

[grand cave]

LMFAO NAE

[lament turtle]

@eternal gazelle

who is that boi

[eternal gazelle]

my sdv character ggkjgkl

[lament turtle]

i love him

[eternal gazelle]

ty!

[still field]

Guys, let's admit

looking at artwork you made a whole bunch of years ago and then comparing it to your current artwork is one of the most satisfactory things ever.
i don't know how many times i've said this already but damn it is pleasant to look at

[mighty bronze]

This ^

[eternal gazelle]

ikr

only if i didnt hate looking at my old art

[still field]

pfff same

my eyes catch fire looking at my old art folder

and then i look at my current art and the fire's gone

[mighty bronze]

I have my old sketchbooks but I laugh my ass of on them and roast myself doing it

[still field]

i have an old notebook with a drawing i made when i was 5

OH MAN OH BOY

every time i look at it i cry

[eternal gazelle]

o m g

[mighty bronze]

Cute

[tame veldt]

thats nice

[still field]

actually um, a better portrayal of how i look at my old art

is the enderman dying noise

[mighty bronze]

LMFAO

[still field]

NO WONDER I DIE LOOKING AT IT--

still satisfactory as hell though

[mighty bronze]

SMH STOP DYING

[still field]

NAH

[mighty bronze]

YAS

Keep only the satisfaction and roast

[still field]

the dying is part of the roast

[mighty bronze]

Wew

[still field]

[prepares to die]

[mighty bronze]

I named mine's old farts

[still field]

LMAO

[mighty bronze]

💨

[still field]

some of my old art is in my current folder as well

since its a folder from, what, 2018 ´-´'

[mighty bronze]

That's when I started

And quit for a year and got back to it kek

[still field]

i started to actually practice in 2016 ´-´'''''

needless to say my art was--

[enderman dying]

[mighty bronze]

Mine was exploding creepers but eh, close

[pastel iris]

you separated your old and recent arts?

here I am mixed all of em lmao

[still field]

yeah

bruh

[pastel iris]

actually I mixed it based on the software I've made

so there's pretty much sai and csp folder for me

[mighty bronze]

I keep some of them on the same folder still things to redraw folder

But when

[still field]

my art folder is 50% .mdps bc i wanted to keep layers and 50% pngs for posting

and like 49% of those .mdps are so old i don't even touch them anymore

[calm tiger]

I need to start drawing again. I have ideas...but not the drive.

[still field]

but also damn i just--- i love looking at this specific sudden evolution
(warning: very cringe)

[bleak bloom]

i have the first digital drawing i ever made, but its on an old tower pc that i dont have a monitor for

also damn

[still field]

(satisfaction)

[bleak bloom]

big contrast to ur awesome drawing from earlier

[still field]

exactly

[bleak bloom]

ooo

[still field]

the first one's from 2017

the second is iirc from around 2019?

[bleak bloom]

theres a definite jump between all three.

[still field]

yee

[pastel iris]

so when I set my desktop wallpaper with slideshow feature, sometimes it forces me to look my old artwork displayed in whole screen

[still field]

oh GOD

[bleak bloom]

interesting idea

[still field]

yeah it actually sounds like a good idea tho

if only my pc wasnt so laggy

[bleak bloom]

^ same

[pastel iris]

embrace the old artwork

oh wait god damn it

I screenshot'ed it right when it starts transitioning 🤦‍♂️

[mighty bronze]

Flexing with the good art

[pastel iris]

here we go

[mighty bronze]

You can still put a clean line on dat

[pastel iris]

how on earth that is clean

that's vile and desecrated

[mighty bronze]

I mean draw on it

Draw the line art gdi!!!

[pastel iris]

maybe it makes more sense if it's redraw with current style

that piece is nowhere could be saved

[lament turtle]

smookie

when i see your pfp it is angel but with i click it, it is devil

[mighty bronze]

Aye

[lament turtle]

how u do dat

[mighty bronze]

It's a gif made in Photoshop out of 2 images (commish I got)

[lament turtle]

yea but it doesn’t loop for me

[mighty bronze]

You have to set it to play only once

Oh my pfp?

[lament turtle]

ye

[mighty bronze]

People said it loops when they hover over the icon

[pastel iris]

a gif can be set not to have loop iirc

apparently smookie's pfp works that way

[lament turtle]

just thought it was cool that its different when you press it but neither of them change like a gif

[mighty bronze]

Ciervo is amazing

I usually asked for commissions in pairs because cool phone bg & icons

Oh God, embrace my first digital fART

[turbid mirage]

:0

[mighty bronze]

Wth, I added more details like folds on that clothes more than I do now??

Also I need to change that OC hair ASAP

When I requested someone to draw it the hair was literally looking like poop... LIKE POOP

And I mean it's my fault not theirs

[tropic halo]

it looks fine for a first piece imo

finished the lineart and picked some colours

[turbid mirage]

:o

[mighty bronze]

Lovely and nice palette

[tropic halo]

Thank you

Time to see how this painting attempt goes

Tomorrow tho

[bleak bloom]

[hushed ledge]

I KNOW, Also it's made purposely wrong so that it HAS to lean off the shoulder

[unborn granite]

shoulders showing 😳

[hushed ledge]

yes

they are

[unborn granite]

I also vibe how some outfits seem kinda androgynous

I like tha

[hushed ledge]

specifically the left one

and yes, they enby babey

[unborn granite]

Heck yeeea

[hushed ledge]

All the characters for this project are enby's, so

[unborn granite]

hhhhheeeeck yeeehaaw

[hushed ledge]

BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[unborn granite]

RELATEABLEEEE

[hushed ledge]

Or a part of me at least

[unborn granite]

i try ti distance myself from my ocs as much as possible

But i sometimes fail 😌

[hushed ledge]

No, I mean like

these are actually different parts of me

[unborn granite]

:0

[hushed ledge]

like Sander Sides, you know?

[unborn granite]

Yeah!

Oh thats cool

[ancient prawn]

that super detailed sixpack looks kinda weird when there's much less muscle detail in other areas of the body

[unborn granite]

Mine are just normal duds

[hushed ledge]

I will not get rid of the abs

[unborn granite]

Living normal lives

[hushed ledge]

I will fight you on this

[ancient prawn]

nonono

abs are good

[hushed ledge]

This is my rat side, btw

[unborn granite]

Maybe like, some muscle definition on the leggies~

Or arms~

Muscle good

Oh but arms mostly dont show

[hushed ledge]

maybe. I'm not the best with muscle definition

[unborn granite]

So leg day 🦵

[hushed ledge]

LEG DAY!!!!

[ancient prawn]

but I'd either tone it a bit down (use shorter lines on the sides maybe?) or add some leg day or biceps day

[unborn granite]

Oh i have lotsa knowledge on muscle types and definitions

I would share help but im waitin for mom to come pick me up T-T

Once im warm at home 😌

[ancient prawn]

you can of course conclude I'm wrong and just leave it as is, it's your work after all :P

[unborn granite]

The only thing i do is draw cute boys so muscles are bound to happen

[hushed ledge]

Nah, now you convinced me of L E G D A Y

[unborn granite]

YASSS

[ancient prawn]

draw cute boys so muscles are bound to happen
not if you prefer twinks

[unborn granite]

🦵 leg 🦵 day 🦵

[unborn granite]

I mean.... I do both

Cant find that gif from el dorado with them saying the both thing

Shame

[bleak bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/both-agree-yes-good-gif-4591420

[bleak bloom]

that one?

[unborn granite]

YEAS

[ancient prawn]

yeah I just meant it's not bound to happen :P

[tropic halo]

idk who that black hair guy is but hes hot

[unborn granite]

Both? Both. Both is good

[ancient prawn]

they're miguel and tulio but can't remember which is which

[unborn granite]

El dorado is a classic

I think miguel was blondie

But dont quote me on that

I should maybe draw em

With uhhhh girl

I watched it when i was like 12 cant remember

HUH

THIS MOVIE HAS 20 YEARS

ITS FROM THE 2000

wow i feel old :(

[hushed ledge]

the movie is older than me

[unborn granite]

Same

[ancient prawn]

same

[unborn granite]

2002 gang

[ancient prawn]

2001 here

[unborn granite]

Ooh hows being 19

[ancient prawn]

fun fact, if I'd been born on time I would be 2000 gang

[unborn granite]

Wise being

[ancient prawn]

same as 18 but at least I don't have to worry about online school

[unborn granite]

Here we finish mandatory at 16

[ancient prawn]

the fuck

[unborn granite]

But having high school is meaningless

Its like having elementary

U need upper education

[ancient prawn]

eh, depends

[unborn granite]

I mean where i live

[lament turtle]

Oof, finally on the end of these set of portraits.

[ancient prawn]

we have different secondary education options here in addition to hs, like trade schools or technical schools

those give a more solid foundation

[unborn granite]

Same!

But more like after high school

[ancient prawn]

where u at?

[unborn granite]

Art school but not really

We have like courses that are job specific

[ancient prawn]

ours are instead of

no I meant where u at as in country

[unborn granite]

Rn im doing one in graphic design and printed product assistance

Spain

[ancient prawn]

noice

[unborn granite]

But u can also do like a 2 year intensive high school thing

But its only for university

Doing courses is better if u dont wanna go to uni or are undescisive

Bc u get mandatory job experience

Like, being an intern

In a company related to the thing ur doing

sometimes you just draw a red ball

[unborn granite]

Ball

[opaque cove]

ball indeed

[unborn granite]

I like minimalist paintings 😌

Is this oil on canvas? 😳 it belongs in the louvre

[opaque cove]

naah its just digital

[unborn granite]

ik ik i was jk lmao

[opaque cove]

lol

[mighty bronze]

More details and flats for my baby

[lament turtle]

it shows that u put thought into it, the colors compliment each other well, i especially like the pop of blue, it's well saturated

[tropic halo]

spend way too long on this

[gloomy summit]

It's looking great!!

[tropic halo]

i loveee it

thanks

still a bit iffy about it

but its nice

[mighty bronze]

[lament turtle]

@fluid basin

[fluid basin]

Oh, just it, the "!" should be a bit smaller

But if u like it, don't worry!

[lament turtle]

Humm

[eternal gazelle]

anyone else not know how the hell to color or is that just me

[abstract dust]

It's a bit of a tough thing choosing colors, if you want some practice you could try choosing some random palates to draw with? I don't know if it'd help but it seems like a fun exercise.

[bleak bloom]

Lospec has great premade palettes

[tropic halo]

anyone else not know how the hell to color or is that just me
@eternal gazelle idk either

I just mess around til it looks nice

[pastel iris]

you colour with instict, and try look for improvement by yourself or.. by asking someone else

it's just hard to explain 'how to colour' in general because people have different ways on colouring

[vagrant crow]

@calm tiger oh thank you! 😭 that’s very nice

[balmy venture]

general colour tips I'd say are understand how colours interact, keep track of ur lighting, and make sure the focus is in the right place

like if u make an all-black character's shoes neon yellow, the focus will be on their feet instead of face and itll throw off the balance of the piece

[pastel iris]

that kinda counts as fashion tip as well jess, not just colour 😆

[balmy venture]

fashion in art is like 80% about the colours lol

[pastel iris]

I've been wondering, what does "butch version" actually means by the way?

I spotted some kind of stuff named "butch version of insert name" and any similar things

[bleak bloom]

its usually just referring to a woman with masculine appearance, clothing or qualities.

[pastel iris]

I see then, I kinda perceived that way before but just making sure

[eternal gazelle]

someone give me a random SDV character to draw

[gloomy summit]

Marlon?

[unborn granite]

Finally finished my drawing

I managed with the tentacle color somehow

I double layered it with different layer modes and i reckon i got it close enough

Cant post it fully bc its a lil raunchy
also spoilered just to be sure

The hand was supposed to be like, slimy or smth, but i gave up on it so now hes just staring at his hand for no reason whatsover

[valid thunder]

Aww cuteee

[hexed saffron]

😳

[unborn granite]

Thanksies

Its a redraw from this 2017 drawing

My artstyle hasnt changed much

[tawny lynx]

I like how you spoiler the first one but not the second, full body one.

[grand cave]

The second one doesn’t have the chest part showing

[lament turtle]

what are you doing step tentacle

[warm finch]

i like your choice of colors 😄

[marble storm]

°0°

[devout stream]

farmer erin's besties 🥺

[snow jolt]

So, I need some help because it seems like the bg on this is a little too busy, but I'm not sure

[tropic halo]

someone give me a random SDV character to draw
@eternal gazelle Shane

No thoughts
Only Shane

Always Shane

[eternal gazelle]

i agree

[little galleon]

Another doc

[tawny lynx]

I think the bg looks just right for that style. I guess at most you should desaturate the bush very slightly to help contrast it with the foreground subject a bit more.

Note that I have not seriously studied color theory and I'm basing this advice on what I've picked up.

[bleak bloom]

^ agreed. just a bit of tone difference.

[unborn granite]

I didnt spoiler the second one bcz nip slip

Besides i feel like the first one implies more... Sexy stuff

[pastel iris]

does anyone have any idea what is exactly emily wearing in vanilla? the sprite and the portrait is just too different 😓

it seems like a dress based on sprite, yet it looks like shirt in vanilla

[velvet sun]

one of those dresses that have buttons

[pastel iris]

it's been too long I kept her unclothed

[velvet sun]

so like, the collar part has a few buttons but it's just a normal dress

[pastel iris]

is that exactly what she's wearing in her sprite as well?

[tardy jolt]

Soooo cool

[velvet sun]

yeah im p sure

[pastel iris]

so is it sleeve or sleeveless?

[velvet sun]

...

wait she has sleeves?

...im ashamed to admit i dont remeber what emily looks like

[pastel iris]

https://stardewvalleywiki.com/File:Emily's_Spouse_Room.PNG

odd

I thought the picture is gonna show up

[lament turtle]

Betrayed

[pastel iris]

this is why I said the inaccuracy is quite real 💦

[ancient prawn]

short sleeves that conveniently end just below the portrait border?

[pastel iris]

even if it's short sleeves, how short is it?

[velvet sun]

Oh, maybe it's like

transparent,, uhh mesh sleeve thing

idk ive seen sleeves like that

emily's clothes confuse me

one moment

[pastel iris]

on the second thought, based on poltergeister's sprites, it seems she's wearing a shirt/tshirt along with the dress (fuck my fashion knowledge) 💫 the pink is quite clear on this sprite after it's zoomed in

[unreal stream]

Been working on a new piece after being inactive for a long time.
Slight NSFW warning since its a bit spicier than most I've done before but have a s k e t c h.
Just need to do her hands and foot. What a pain

[little galleon]

[rustic plume]

😳 🙏

[lament turtle]

[open tulip]

are poems considered art?

[lament turtle]

Yes.

[steady plover]

Peferly post then in a doc or something but you can post them straight out

[open tulip]

okay, thank you!

[tropic halo]

working on a self portrait
altho im not this cute irl

[steady plover]

@tropic halo did you happen to finish it lul

[stuck robin]

its in #creative

very coot

[tropic halo]

yeah i posted it in creative

@steady plover

[steady plover]

Oh I see

I saw from your pfp lup

Lul

It is very good :v

[tropic halo]

hehe thanks

[pastel iris]

didn't know if lingerie is allowed here

draws immediately

[unreal stream]

I asked permission before posting

So I'd be careful.

[steady plover]

Ofc you would say that cold lul

Atleast irs better than drawing people naked like you usually do smh

[pastel iris]

drawing of naked person in my standard is considered incomplete, simple as that

I don't do that kind of art anywat

[steady plover]

[unreal stream]

Drawing nudes sounds extremely difficult.

Was bad enough drawing lingerie.

[little galleon]

what the

[pastel iris]

if the parts like nipples and genitalia remains covered, it's not that hard compared to lingerie arc

naked figure is always the base before you draw clothes anyway, unless if you have a good precision to draw em straight without base

[steady plover]

Hehe ^^

[unreal stream]

That's true. I just found it stressful.

Since - to be blunt - the more skin shown, the more obvious anatomy mistakes are compared to someone fully clothed.

[pastel iris]

stressful because of what exactly

[steady plover]

I wouldent worry it looks amazing

[unreal stream]

Stressful because of making sure the anatomy was right?

[pastel iris]

ah I see now lol

I too found it stressful but it's because of wasting more time 💦

[steady plover]

It looks amazing just saying
Feet and hands suck don't let them hold you back ^^

[unreal stream]

Thanks - I've since managed the more visible hand with plenty of help from other artists.

[steady plover]

[unreal stream]

So with that being said, lets goooooooooo

This isn't the first time I've done work of this nature, though it is the first time I'm not regretting it

[steady plover]

Damn
I love thay hand and the plishie

Amazing art ^^

Question shouldent there be a bra around the chest or no, is it supposed to be just like she's wearing the gown?

[pastel iris]

putting notes on WIP like that is pretty much rare occasion

[stuck robin]

woaaaww awesome pose

[unreal stream]

Its nightwear, so no bra of the such is involved

Based on the reference I used anyway

[rose dirge]

a gown like that MAY have an underwire, but they are uncommon

[steady plover]

I see

Makes sense
Just wondering

[rose dirge]

you would typically wear a piece like that with no additional breast support

[steady plover]

I wouldent know I'm a male

[unborn granite]

There are some that have the squish fabric to hold the boob, since its soft

But wire for sleeping sounds uncomfy

[unreal stream]

I'm obviously not going to post the reference I used - though its no more explicit than my own drawing - but there is defo no bra involved.

Or wire

[unborn granite]

Nips

[unreal stream]

Nah no nips either.

[unborn granite]

Oh :0

But then

How

Is the fabric not see through in the breast area?

[unreal stream]

I think the fabric that covers the chest is that shiny silk while the rest is partly transparent.

[unborn granite]

Or its just see through in the part that flows down

[stuck robin]

maybe its like dark fabric with a sheer part?

[unborn granite]

Ooooh

Got it

That adds up

I have to practice silk

[unreal stream]

||I'm considering a version where the top is also transparent but honestly I like it better this way||

[steady plover]

Oop

[unreal stream]

I dunno, I like drawing glamour

[unborn granite]

I usually never draw see thoughs, so i wouldnt know 😂

Its naked or nothing with me 😼

[stuck robin]

im so terrible at drawing fabric

[unborn granite]

Fabrics can be a pain

They all behave differently

[steady plover]

Imagine being good enough to draw fabrics

[unborn granite]

I shall 😌

[stuck robin]

cake ive seen your art and it isnt bad 😩

[steady plover]

Hiss
Only my pixel art >:(

[stuck robin]

im drawing a lot of drapey fabric and it looks like shiz

the anime stuff on paper too

[pastel iris]

what on earth is fabric anyway

[unborn granite]

All this fabric talk has got me in the drawing mood

[unreal stream]

Fabric is fun - I can't wait to draw the mesh around the torso properly over the quick sketch.

[steady plover]

Disagree

[strange burrow]

I wish I could draw

All these look amazing

[stuck robin]

literally anyone can draw, just takes practice

[pastel iris]

you just drew before anka, and that means you could draw

[unreal stream]

(cough) this was 2018 (cough)

Drawing takes time, but you can get there

[stuck robin]

looks good, watcha talking about

(directed to both cake and dr)

[undone flare]

Hsjjsjs

I like how that looks tho

[unreal stream]

I've drawn Serra too much. Here is 2019 as well.

Haven't done a proper headshot of her for 2020 though 🤔

[unborn granite]

I think imma redraw this drwing from march 2019 (TW: Drowning)

Idk how i was good with colors back then

I lost the ✨ touch ✨

(also dw, hes just having a brutal nightmare)

[stuck robin]

cant wait to see how it turns out!!

[unreal stream]

Yooo the OG looks great as is - good luck with the redo!

[unborn granite]

Im already struggling lmao

Im trying to make the pose more dynamic to portray the emotion and panic of the moment but

It aint workin

[steady plover]

Imagine being good enough to put emotion and panic into art

[unborn granite]

im not thats why im struggling 😭

[steady plover]

False you are @unborn granite

[unborn granite]

:(

[bleak bloom]

wait.. Isn't that serra from Fire emblem?

[steady plover]

Yeah it is

[bleak bloom]

ooooo

it looks so nice.

i have an old serra drawing around here somewhere

from a couple years ago.. lol. i was making a line sticker pack but it didnt work out.

maybe a redraw is in order.. it looks so bad compared to what i make now..

[unborn granite]

Idk why but purple keeps looking like a dwarf/gremlin help

ive tried making his torso longer

and legs

and everything

[bleak bloom]

his thighs are too short

[unborn granite]

like hes supposed to be young and all

[bleak bloom]

he doesnt seem to have a butt either

just a section missing

[unborn granite]

oh the no butt situation is in character

poor man never has buns :(

But imma make his thighs longer

Tru tru

[bleak bloom]

eh that section of the leg/thigh/whatever you call it just seems short imo. maybe thats just me.

also in the first picture he looks more like he's pulling down the other guy than in the second. it has more action to it.

he looks more like he's gently holding him now then pulling him down.

[unborn granite]

Yeah, bc hes more hesitant now

Like, in the old ver hes just merclessly drowining himself

While in the newer one it hurts him

[bleak bloom]

i see. makes sense.

i think its the difference in the leg being pulled up like that, that makes it look that way.

[unborn granite]

yea it was the thigh making him look dwarfish

Does purple look younger than green?

[bleak bloom]

heyyy that looks better. and yeah he does

[unborn granite]

Good!

Aight thas my sketch 😌

[bleak bloom]

nice.

[north tendon]

hmmm shanes

ideas at least

yall think i should doodle some more or go on with these

[unborn granite]

Chickens!!!

[north tendon]

yes!!!

consider: jas and chicken

[ember zealot]

yes.

i want to see it

[north tendon]

for tonight ill probably just doodle little stick figures like these and tmrw ill draw a ton

[pastel iris]

I came with the idea of lace bodysuit+dress and now I feel like she's wearing lingerie

anyways I'll stick to haley for now, thinking on what emily's wearing from her sprite really stressing me out 💦

[bleak bloom]

it looks pretty good like that imo.

wip

just a simple thing. time to pick colors.

[unborn granite]

Since i usually do drawings in one go i never do pics in between, but rn im tired so ill color this bad boy tomorrow

(i just noticed i should move the whole drawing to the right a little)

also yikes i dislike that closed fist

the sketch had more of a open hand vibe

welp guess ill deal with it l8r 🥴

[tropic halo]

👁‍🗨 👁‍🗨

nice lines

[north tendon]

https://zuosgoblin.tumblr.com/post/635448933929336833/more-is-coming-this-is-simply-a-wip since it seems i cant upload images i am sharing this shane to yall through tumblr

i kinda need to update my theme damn

[gloomy summit]

Awee that's so cute 😭

[north tendon]

thank you <3 <3

[tropic halo]

shane in crocs is something i didnt know i needed til i got it

[north tendon]

LMAO yeah

the anatomy is kinda ass but

how does one draw a top down view chicken

also jas and vincent made friendship bracelets for each other :0

[tropic halo]

look up references

im sure theres a top down chicken somewhere out there

[bleak bloom]

that is so cute

the chicken is adorable

[gloomy summit]

Watching the bubbles go up 🌧️

Man, idk what to draw anymore, I think I'll be having an art block soon 😔

[north tendon]

personally this is when just let myself stop drawing for a few weeks

i just live through times where i cant or dont draw for 2-4 weeks at a time before going into an art frenzy for a while

if i wanna draw and have the materials and motivation i do in those inbetweens but i spend a lot of time looking at other peoples stuff too

[gloomy summit]

It's exactly the opposite to me lmao, if I draw way too much, I just get tired ig. It's like all my ideas go blank and I can't bring myself to draw a simple circle aah

[north tendon]

:(

what also helps for me is just scribbling sometimes

[gloomy summit]

I remember I had one art block that lasted months, idk how but it just stopped one day! I think I wasn't used to digital art so it was kinda hard for me to draw

[north tendon]

awh

i get it

when i used to do mostly digital and had to switch off to traditional for a long time i just kinda stopped drawing for a few months

from around march-june this year i could barely draw until i got into scissor seven and made like 60ish drawings for that in abt 6 weeks

[gloomy summit]

Omg 60 drawings!! I get that haha, when I used to get into fandoms, I drew a like a million doodles of the same character ayy

[north tendon]

yeah! i think i have a lot of trouble drawing outside of fandom stuff honestly

[gloomy summit]

Also, I'm sorry if my english is kinda weird, it's kinda difficult for me to express myself in this language ✌️ 😔

[north tendon]

oh its fine! im getting you just fine

my sleepy meds r kinda kicking in anyway so i'll be out in a while

so sorry if i sound scrambled

[gloomy summit]

Awe it's ok!!

[north tendon]

[pastel iris]

114 unnamed layers so far, and I'm still in sketching session 🤣

[gloomy summit]

OMG WHAT and I thought 20 layers was too much 😆

[bleak bloom]

i thought that said 14 for a bit- damn

[karmic tapir]

Wow

And i thought my 4 layers was too much

[tropic halo]

that just sounds stress inducing

i would never

[mighty bronze]

114, what are you hiding there

[pastel iris]

I could say there's only 80s layers that's used because the hidden ones are pretty much rougher sketches, base busts, and some experimental stuff

sebastian have the most layers because the lines are already cleaned, then emily because I've been figuring out what she's wearing 💦

[eternal gazelle]

if i tried drawing one of the bachelors with curly hair, whom??

[lament turtle]

harvey

[eternal gazelle]

i was thinking he would be a good option

[bleak bloom]

harvey. glasses + curly hair is cuuuute.

[tropic halo]

Shane

Always Shane

[mighty bronze]

Lmao, who forgot to change Leah, she's still dead skeleton Leah

[bleak bloom]

skeleahton

...idk. lol
