[tropic halo]

ill just stick to my regular old screen recorder

[mossy leaf]

depends on how big the file sizes will be

[pastel iris]

and never seen it on them doing black lines on bare body, but maybe they do it when the skin of the character is gray-ish like undead or something

[echo mesa]

tbh, i thought the same thing
time lapse is quicker to use, but if I want to post any of my art on youtube again I'll probably just record the screen the old way

[tropic halo]

i draw in segments
so idk if that would work for me

[mossy leaf]

some recording software might have big file sizes but Csp might have small file sizes

[tropic halo]

and i want the freedom to edit
and show my entire screen

ui and all

[mossy leaf]

yeah agreed that sounds much better

I hope the time lapse feature will allow you to show the UI in the future

[vocal raven]

hello

[mossy leaf]

Hewooo Felicity!

[tropic halo]

hey hey

im glad they added it tho

its a quick way to show your process

but it wont be good for recording speedpaints for me

[echo mesa]

y'all ever just get a sore elbow and have to awkwardly crack it and hold it folded behind ur back as u lean against it for pressure tho

[mossy leaf]

yeah

suffering

[echo mesa]

😔

[tropic halo]

i crack all my joints all the time

but ive never gotten a sore elbow

[echo mesa]

i get sore elbows fairly often, smetimes cracking a joint helps the ouch

[mossy leaf]

Elbow go Snap

[echo mesa]

😔 is more annoyin when its my hip, bc its easy to fold ur elbow the wrong way
but hips dont have a lot of ways to Go

[tropic halo]

i crack my knees

and my toes

[mossy leaf]

I crack my spine by twisting my back very hard

and just let my back hang on the edge of my bed

[echo mesa]

spine cracks are best cracks

[tropic halo]

hella good

[echo mesa]

im gon . . .bake bread bois

[mossy leaf]

[echo mesa]

i have acquired an assistent

[mossy leaf]

how lucky

[unreal stream]

Mine'll be recoloured so they wont be jet black at least

[bleak bloom]

literally 3 people attempted the pose based on my drawing and i just- wow
i wasnt expecting that

[tawny lynx]

Yeah I think it's because the front foot is too far forward like you said earlier.

Bring it back, and it's more like a "perching" pose. Still don't see how you can hold that for more than a few seconds without some sort of support.

Maybe you have strong legs and are also pretty light.

[bleak bloom]

im about 130 pounds

i do have pretty strong legs, i have to sit like that a lot when i install flooring for work

we remodel houses

so i'm probably just used to it tbh

do anything enough for 5 years and it should be pretty easy ig

[pastel iris]

it's also even better if you figure out the density of the lines (not fully solid) tho

[bleak bloom]

ill probably do what you said and bring the leg back though

huh.. how do you make your lines not fully solid?

[pastel iris]

I simply use eraser tool with reduced brush density

by the way how much 130 pounds in kilos again

[bleak bloom]

63 kilos

also cool, ill try that with the lines. it sounds interesting

[pastel iris]

okay I'm 10 kilos lower than you are lol

[bleak bloom]

oop

[pastel iris]

I guess no wonder I don't have much trouble doing that pose

[bleak bloom]

Wait, no

lmao i put in the wrong number.. 58 kilos, not 63

that was my mistake

ah, i may lose wifi again, the wind is blowing quite hard

w h a t

dear god

i didn't think people that stupid actually existed

[pastel iris]

I'm gonna try that on the clinic around here

imagine if you say that to a doctor kek

[pastel iris]

I have a sample, I can DM the link if you want

[bleak bloom]

sure

[pastel iris]

see that right? those are not legends or fairy tales now 🤣

[bleak bloom]

true, very true.

as well as that, looking through other posts from that twitter account is.. wow

[pastel iris]

there's one most classic form of way if you want a free art

pretend that your mother is on your deathbed

[bleak bloom]

what
do people actually do that
like fr

[pastel iris]

"hey dude, my mom is on my deathbed right now and I love your art, could you draw something for me?"

[bleak bloom]

bruh

[pastel iris]

I know I never seen live unlike.. ahem. What I experienced few days ago, if i remember it right there are lots of them in r/choosingbeggars subreddit

[echo mesa]

[quartz valley]

[echo mesa]

theyre a snacc
cronchy and chewy at the same time

[tawny lynx]

Client: I'm surprised you charge this much. Isn't this a hobby?
I just— If it was purely a hobby, then I probably wouldn't be taking the commission in the first place.

[bleak bloom]

yumm

is that bread with cheese

it looks like cheese

[mossy leaf]

that looks holy

I am starving, can I please taste one

[valid thunder]

Save me one!

[bleak bloom]

monch

[echo mesa]

i figured out how i can watch Darker than Black while drawing ;D

[tawny lynx]

I like how the top half of their bodies happen to be roughly in the same pose.

[echo mesa]

i would say life imitates art but ig they both art

line art . . .

[lament turtle]

Nice! Looks pretty smooth

[echo mesa]

thank ^-^

[pastel iris]

ooo parkour

[echo mesa]

she do b jumping 😔 i need to practice more active poses

[echo mesa]

[tropic halo]

same

and anatomy

i want my characters to have realistic proportions

im kinda getting there but slowly

[unborn granite]

I need to practice dynamism

Ive tried thousands of times but i still feel my drawings are too stiff

[abstract dust]

I feel like I'm doing pretty good.

But I do suffer a lot with interior backgrounds and cityscapes.

[pastel iris]

updated maru

I've no idea what else I can add for her 💦

[steady plover]

[lament turtle]

Hai guys

Been away a few days due to medical issues, I'll be hopefully posting a finished prop today

[rain olive]

Lucy!!

I hope you feel better! Cant wait to see more of your props!

[mossy leaf]

I can't wait to see the props!

[mossy leaf]

got the news that my new drawing tablet should arrive tomorrow, am quite excited

a shame that my old one broke and is no longer responding

[knotty heart]

Yea

[rain olive]

I hope your new tab is better micko!!!

[knotty heart]

Shame your other one doesn’t work any more but it’s cool that the new ones coming in

[mossy leaf]

From what I heard my new drawing tablet the Huion H1060P is a very good drawing tablet

I am surprised that they just sent it today and it will arrive tomorrow, shipping is real fast

[bleak bloom]

nice bit of hair progress

also rip tablet. thats a shame. congratulations on your new one though

thats why i baby my tablet, i literally put it back in the box when its not in use

[spiral gale]

same lmao

[austere moat]

animation wip

[crude turret]

Ooh looking really good so far :o

[austere moat]

thanks uwu

[dense sage]

wow amazing'

[pastel iris]

well done kit

[mossy leaf]

Coffee + excitement for my drawing tablet at 3 am is a horrible combination

it feels like every minute is an eternity going by

I love it

the combination is making me really happy for some reason

[austere moat]

that combination makes me happy too

[safe ember]

does music count?

cause i have plenty of that

[pastel iris]

yes gimbo, anything about art in general counts

as long it's not low effort meme

[safe ember]

pogger

cuz i am not good good art man

but im ok music man

[pastel iris]

then you are good art man

art is not all about drawing

[tropic halo]

which one are you getting?

[mossy leaf]

Huion H1060P

[tropic halo]

i ordered a new one for myeslf as well
artist 15.6

finally getting myself a screen tab
it might take months to get here tho cause shipping to jamaica is a bitch

[tropic halo]

ooo ive seen reviews of that

i dont trust huion
almost everyone i know that has used it has horror stories

[mossy leaf]

that is true, but its better than my previous Veikk A50

[tropic halo]

oh never heard of that one

but i heard that huion costumer service is shit

[mossy leaf]

Veikk is a very new company

[tropic halo]

how did it break?

[mossy leaf]

they started selling drawing tablets in 2017

[tropic halo]

did it just stop working?

or did it fall?

[mossy leaf]

my mom bumped into it and it fell on the floor

and it no longer responds

it lasted me 2 years without a single problem

I am quite impressed by it

[tropic halo]

bruh

rip tablet

ive had mine for about a year now

[mossy leaf]

it served me well

[tropic halo]

havent had a single issue with it

i just really wanted a screen tab

and the xp pen stuff was on sale
it was really just an impulse buy

[mossy leaf]

Are you happy with the purchase?

[tropic halo]

idk yet

the tablet hasnt arrived yet

but i probably will be

[mossy leaf]

Oooo

When will it arrive?

[austere moat]

ive heard pretty good things about the xppen tablets, might get one for myself once my wacom dies for good

[fresh anvil]

someone explain to me how i was able to write 3 pages of stardew valley garbage after writer's block for years during my FINALS

[echo mesa]

i have the tablet Micko's getting ;D
i like it, it randomly disconnects smetimes, but then you just gotta open the Huion Tablet program and its gucci again

i still dunno what sme of the buttons do either shrugs in Italian

[bleak bloom]

hell yeah those are awesome. thats what i've had since the beginning of this year

one gripe with the 15.6 tho

is the 2 buttons on the pen, sometimes when you press one it triggers the other instead and it can be annoying if you use it for brush/erasor and colorpick like i do

maybe they've fixed it since then though, or maybe i got a weird pen. not sure

and you'll have to configure the color settings on it

because out of the box the colors are wack.

[tropic halo]

i dont use the pen or tablet buttons at all

i just use keyboard short cuts

[bleak bloom]

that works fine for smaller tablets but it is easier to use the shortcuts sometimes with one this size

the scroll wheel is pretty awesome

but either way

[tropic halo]

ahi get what you mean

ill be able to figure out a good flow when the tablet gets here
might have to switch to express keys

[mossy leaf]

I didn't realize that the Huion H1060P has 16 extra keys on top of it, I only noticed after I bought it

[echo mesa]

you mean the numbers along the top?

idk that they Do anything

huh, ig this says they do different letters
gotta use pen to press those 16 buttons tho

[mossy leaf]

those are just buttons

extra buttons

mygod that is the layout of the Huion H1060P

ohwait

AHHH I can't read

[echo mesa]

yeah
thas the tablet i have

[mossy leaf]

wait those 16 buttons are not physical?

[echo mesa]

not physical
just written on

[mossy leaf]

awww

what a shame

[echo mesa]

you can tap em with the pen

[mossy leaf]

how would you rate the Huion H1060P? 1/10

[echo mesa]

its the only tablet ive ever had
so maybe 7/10 ?
I like the size, and I feel like the buttons it has works for me

[mossy leaf]

when you draw a straight line is the lines wiggly or some what straight?

I am asking because on my old Veikk A50 drawing straight lines was impossible because of how wiggly they always turn out

[echo mesa]

i got video lol

[mossy leaf]

ooo

[echo mesa]

if it'll send, my internets apparently a Lil Slow

[mossy leaf]

mygod the lines are more straight than what the Veikk A50 could ever make

[echo mesa]

any time my lines arent straight, its more bc I cant rly do straight lines
the tablets fine with em lol

[mossy leaf]

the Veikk A50 could never make straight lines

[echo mesa]

then maybe the new tablet will be a lot better for you ;D

[tropic halo]

drawing straight lines have a lot to do with how well you can control the pen

and also the speed at which you draw em

faster stroke = straighter lines

[mossy leaf]

I am good at drawing lines on paper, and no matter the speed the lines are always very wobbly on veikk a50

[tropic halo]

well yeah

drawing on paper gives you a lot more control

for one theres friction

a lot of it

and there the fact that youre directly drawing on paper

but i can see how a faulty tablet can contribute to wobbly lines

[mossy leaf]

There is a review on the veikk a50 that explains in detail about the tablet and the wobbly lines, lemme find it

found it

https://digitalarttabletguides.wordpress.com/2019/01/28/veikk-a50-review/

its a really good review

[bleak bloom]

things like that is why i watched every review i could find before buying a tablet

[mossy leaf]

its almost 8 am and my new tablet might arrive at 12 pm

am really excited

[echo mesa]

[bleak bloom]

nice

[lament turtle]

My stardew wine will finally be done when my ink arrive sfor my printer

Should I start working on the label now 😁

[mossy leaf]

aaaaa turns out that they are sending it today and it will arrive tomorrow or maybe after tomorrow

what a shame

I was soo excited

[lament turtle]

In continuation from Creative, I'll use acrylic paints that are watered down so i can maintain a slight transparency to the slime

as it's being printed in a transparent PLA

[mossy leaf]

ooo

Never knew that transparent Plastic existed

[lament turtle]

https://static.inkstation.com.au/pi/99980/230/3d_filament_1kg_175_pla_transparent.jpg

It's a special type of plastic that this type of 3D printer can use, can use multiple colors and also a transparent one

[mossy leaf]

that is pretty cool

[lament turtle]

First time ever having used the transparent tbh

[mossy leaf]

Hopefully it will be a success on the first try

[lament turtle]

should do, already did a quick 5 min pre print to get the filament through the nozzle

[mossy leaf]

how long will it take for the slime model to finish printing?

[lament turtle]

12 hours

[mossy leaf]

that is quite a long time, if only 3D printing would be faster

[lament turtle]

can be but i would sacrifice quality

[rustic plume]

i designed a litol horror game character ahu

[lament turtle]

is cute, spooky

[rustic plume]

ooo! I really like it!

lone artist of the valley update

[arctic nest]

my svd female character drawing

if somebody could please help me improves this hand drawing i would appreciate it very much

[pastel iris]

improve is a wide term, i'm not sure what are you trying to achieve

the pose? the outfit? the artstyle?

[snow jolt]

I can suggest following other artists

Maybe following along with their art journey

[jolly sand]

Hello

[arctic nest]

well just to try making it look more like a female

that is what im aming for now

cause as you can see im bad at srwaing

drawing

[arctic nest]

tried that didnt really work

[pastel iris]

for now I guess make some curves around the chest to make it like female chest, if you're aiming for detailed style you can follow up many tutorials in how to draw female bodies

[arctic nest]

will try that

[pastel iris]

by the way don't call yourself bad at drawing, don't to forget there's a rule about not to trash talk your own work or skill here

[arctic nest]

hehehehe i dont see it that whay but oki will stop doubting my drawings tnx

[blissful sonnet]

AYYY IT LOOKS AWESOME

it looks from tokyo ghoul

[rustic plume]

huhuhu tenkyu bg

but it aint irekbjdfn

[blissful sonnet]

is ur hand doing alrighty frog?

[tropic halo]

tits
tits help a lot

[rustic plume]

not really but we getting there bg

[tropic halo]

softer facial features

just go on pinterest and look at pretty girls

[rustic plume]

i wouldnt say softer facial features, but it is a good idea to have references!!

[tropic halo]

wll yeah girls can look like anything and have any features
but for like
feminine generic female

soft is the way to go

[warm finch]

it's also a good idea to look at some tutorials :3 some artists give really great tutorials

[tropic halo]

^^

[warm finch]

for eyes, especially coloring, i really really liked ross draws video on coloring eyes

[tropic halo]

watch speedpaints

i watch a lot of speedpaints

find artists with styles that you like
and see if they have a youtube channel

[warm finch]

their art may look really complex at first, but it's the little skills you wanna pick up from them

[tropic halo]

yeah i really watch speedpaints for specific stuff

like if i wanna learn how this person does their lineart
i watch that section of the speedpaint

i find speedpaints more helpful than tutorials

[steady plover]

The eyes are the only thing i wojld argue im good at

[tropic halo]

my eyes aent detailed at all

i just go for a large dot

im not a fan or the generic anime eyes with shapes and colours and all that

[arctic nest]

i know

[fluid basin]

Ignore the word below, It mean "fire"

What do you think is best? Green board or bricks?

Because with bricks it looks here:

[steady plover]

Ethier or

[ember zealot]

i think green board

[lament turtle]

[steady plover]

[mossy leaf]

Still a cute little shit

[mossy leaf]

it is very cute

[broken mason]

Super cute! But maybe better suited for off-topic discussion in #adventurers-guild

[lament turtle]

Okie

[hard lynx]

@lament turtle we generally don't consider selfies as art here unless it's something like displaying face painting or something else that really sets it apart from a regular selfie. (: and yes while that mouse image is cute it'd be better for #images-and-memes or #adventurers-guild , depending on if there's an ongoing conversation in there right now.

[lament turtle]

Probably

Also jeez why do people have to be so rude

srsly, ppl shouldnt subscribe to assholes ;w;

[pastel iris]

why the heck a vtuber has no pfp

[blissful sonnet]

wowow makes sense

omg, srry didnt mean to ping u-

[pastel iris]

the prick could be vtuber, but pretty much a 1st timer I'd bet

or just a wannabe

[tawny lynx]

That seems to be the pattern that happens.
1: Asks for creative labor for non monetary payment
2: Gets told that monetary payment is in fact, required
3: Insults work.
4: Wonder why they tried to commission your work in the first place if they apparently think it was trash the entire time

[blissful sonnet]

yeah thats the usual pattern from what i saw ;w;

though i dont get why they insult the artist's work when they themselves wanted to buy a piece

its a mystery ;w;

[tawny lynx]

Do they maybe think that belittling your work will convince you after all? That's the only other possible reason but it doesn't make much sense.

[blissful sonnet]

insulting will just lead the artist to even further not want to take in the request-

[tawny lynx]

Turns out most people in general don't want to work with you if you insult them. Who woulddathought?

[blissful sonnet]

gd do u have 5 rings LOL

[blissful sonnet]

IkR sUcH a MysTerY

the amount of braincells ppl have aghhhh

[grand cave]

“Haha if I insult this smaller artists work they will feel absolutely shit about themselves and rethink what they’re doing with their life and if anyone will ever pay them for their work and then give in to my 0 pay request in which I insulted :D”

[blissful sonnet]

:D

[tawny lynx]

I've had people try to give me feedback on my 3D modeling but they start it out with literally for example "it sux lol". Like, what makes you think I'm going to take that well?

[pastel iris]

the pattern of speech, I kinda guess they could be probably an underaged 1st time vtuber

[blissful sonnet]

that isnt even criticsm pezzo-

[tawny lynx]

Oh there was actual feedback after that, but it didn't really matter after that.

[pastel iris]

sometimes adult also does that (asking to be drawn free), but it's very unlikely adult have that speech pattern lol

[blissful sonnet]

nahhh ppl shouldnt give feedback after insulting it ;w;

[blissful sonnet]

most adults would do it for their children from what ive seen

[tawny lynx]

Unfortunately these people are just as likely to fail to understand why that interaction went sour and pass it off as the potential client being "spoiled".

[grand cave]

“On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me, four calling birds, 5 gold rings, six geese laying-“

[blissful sonnet]

OhHH

wait

is that how the song goes

yeah, its going from the largest number to the least

omg my brain agh

[tawny lynx]

"What's the matter dear? Did you not like my gifts?"
"Oh no, I'm very glad. I liked the golden rings for example, but a lot of the other presents..."
"Yes, in retrospect, I went a little bird-heavy this year."

(^^ From a Tumblr or Twitter post. Also as someone pointed out, "Golden Rings" may in fact actually be another species of bird).

[blissful sonnet]

confused noises

[tawny lynx]

William S. Baring-Gould suggests that the presents sent on the first seven days were all birds—the "five gold rings" were not actually gold rings, but refer to the five golden rings of the ringed pheasant.

Well, fun fact for the day.

[blissful sonnet]

Ooooo

i guess that makes sense

[tawny lynx]

Overall though, the wiki article pretty much says that the song has gone over a considerable number of permutations.

btw, please use a nickname that is typeable on a regular english keyboard

[storm meadow]

That belongs to #images-and-memes

@lament turtle I have set up a nickname for you to go along with our nickname rule in the server. You may change it to anything else as long as it’s typable with English keyboard and not offensive

[lament turtle]

yeah thx bc i don't want to change it out the server

[tropic halo]

oh hi MARK

[unborn granite]

PFDT

do yall know any good online pose model webs?

Im trying to do a weirdly specific pose

And for the life of me i cant find any decent ref

[humble lava]

Perhaps there's a 3d posing program you could use. Daz 3d comes to mind, but that thing is a monster for an art reference program

[unborn granite]

Im looking it up but it appears to be a whole ass program

I meant a quick way to get a pose

[humble lava]

Designdoll has a free license as well and it's far easier to work with since it's actually made for this, but it gives you very anime models by default and you can't save any preferences without paying out

[unborn granite]

Hmmm, i remember there being this one webpage where you could just pose a model without having to download any software

But for the life of me i cant remember the name

Thats why i asked here 😂

[tropic halo]

if you have csp you can just use the models in that to change em how you like

[unborn granite]

Nope 😔

[tropic halo]

maybe you can just activate the trial if you dont have it

and then model in it

and you can screenshot your pose when you get it right

[unborn granite]

Oof but it seems like a hell of a work for a reference pic

[tropic halo]

yeah...

i dont know of any 3d modelling sites like that

[unborn granite]

Im searching as we speak

But most have like, ball models

[tropic halo]

https://magicposer.com/

[unborn granite]

Not anatomical models

Oooh

[humble lava]

I vaguely remember a webpage program that let you view prerendered poses in 3d, but not one that gave you control to move figures

[unborn granite]

Let me look it up

[tropic halo]

https://www.zygotebody.com/

[unborn granite]

Oof my wifis suffering 😩 💦

It cant open a link 4real

[tropic halo]

those are just some i found from a quick google search

not sure if theyre any good

[unborn granite]

I saw those two while searchig too

[tropic halo]

seems worth it

[humble lava]

huh. Magicposer looks a lot like designdoll.

wonder if it's new

[unborn granite]

but my laptop wont open

they keep timing out

they installed a new router yesterday istg

[tropic halo]

a lot of em pop up tbh

im gonna go through some of em myself

for when i wanna use sai to sketch and dont have access to the csp models

[unborn granite]

its still opening the zygote body one

hhhh i just wanna have a decent connexion

its not like we dont pay for one anyways...

[tropic halo]

shit wifi gang

[unborn granite]

yaaas

[tropic halo]

im probs gonna upgrade soon

[grand cave]

[grand cave]

mm.

[tropic halo]

i was angry
and my fist went woosh
the laptop shouldve moved outta the way

smh my head

@unborn granite this one seems good for simple stuff with no download

[unborn granite]

since my laptop is taking forever im downloading the app

[tropic halo]

im having way too much fun messing with this

[unborn granite]

sameeee

this is what i wanted but idk how to change the character model

[tropic halo]

in csp the models can only move their limbs realistically
but this one gives no fucked

arm in body

[unborn granite]

i would like the realistic one but i cant find how to change it

Oh by tapping the "+" sign

welp

[tropic halo]

im scared

[unborn granite]

wh

that dude in the corner

t pos

[tropic halo]

hehe

[humble lava]

there's always that wild one in the gang

[unborn granite]

That shoulders not ok sir are you fine

[tropic halo]

pfft

[unborn granite]

WHAT IS TH-

[humble lava]

imagine leonardo da vinci trying to use this program to make The Last Supper. With similar results.

[unborn granite]

Have a mood

[mossy leaf]

very mood

just when I finish refining my sketch of slime rancher my save gets corrupted ;w;

[mighty bronze]

Omg nooooo

[hushed ledge]

This took me way to long for a sketch. The colors were a bitch to figure out ;-;. I'm happy about how she looks, but I still want to make more outfits for her

[mossy leaf]

it looks amazing!

[hushed ledge]

U///U thank you!

[outer root]

vibes

[echo mesa]

someone messaged me 2 commission me and im gon cry like dam, they're actually paying for my art, r they okay?

wheezes in Italian

[pastel iris]

best of luck jar 🍻

[mighty bronze]

OK OK, this is the only day I have free before 7 days of work... and stress soo I will use it wise, Ima do some mood boards for my OC since I want to refine their looks, also do at least the sketch for a present, there is a lot to do starting the new year and I'm wasting time doing no art hhh

[mossy leaf]

They are making the best decision in their life, your art is amazing

[mighty bronze]

wow, a PT SAI license is almost 60 USD

[mossy leaf]

Clip studio paint is 50 usd and it is 25-30 USD on sales, for example winter sale is coming soon so it will be between 25-40 USD

maybe there will be a winter sale

who knows

[mighty bronze]

I have CSP but I wanted to try out SAI

[mossy leaf]

from what I hear SAI is great for lineart right out of the box

[mighty bronze]

Yeah, I noticed

[mighty bronze]

https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/comments/c9wkmr/the_color_psychology_of_disney_characters/

I have found something very interesting!

here, Ima save your time since the link didn't show the image

[pastel iris]

I thought jafar fits to being purple gang instead th

wait a sec, alladin is in purple gang?

[mighty bronze]

Jafar does have a lot of red

idk bout alladin hmm

[mighty bronze]

Lmao, here is a sample sheet for a character I want to build in the next year

It sounds promising I guess

[echo mesa]

wip of the commission im working on
their character has so many smol details

[blissful sonnet]

Ooo good luck milk!!

[echo mesa]

thank ^~^

[tropic halo]

yessir

[echo mesa]

i dont think doing a drawing usually takes me quite this long

[tropic halo]

how long do drawings normally take?

also
making stickers

[echo mesa]

im not sure, but i think ive been working on this for at least four hrs? and i dont think i usually take more than four hrs

thas a cute sticker

[mighty bronze]

wew

[tropic halo]

i spend days on my art pieces

cause i like taking my eyes off what im doing for a bit

it helps spot mistakes
cause sometimes my eyes get too adjusted

[echo mesa]

thats probably a good way to do things
i usually try to get a drawing done in one sitting - if i close the drawing i tend to not want to go back to it

[tropic halo]

huh
its different for everyone ig

i tend to just not accept comms that have a deadline that causes me to have to rush

so i just take my sweet lil time with art

[echo mesa]

i dont think i have a deadline for this art? id just rather have it done sooner than later so i dont feel anxious about it lol

smetimes i still think about a wip i started a few months ago . . .

i will never finish it, but its there

[tropic halo]

yeah i dont like rushing
i spend days on stuff
just to make sure i dont miss anything

the goal is to be able to work quickly tho

[echo mesa]

i think the idea of working quickly is part of why i work on art how i do
like, one of my bigger influences on my art has always put out the idea of working quickly on art and i guess i kinda internalized that lol

[tropic halo]

i wanna be quick and accurate

[echo mesa]

the ultimate dream

its 2am
i might do the unthinkable and
finish this drawing tomorrow

[analog sandal]

Being quick can be a nice thing but the most important is to have fun while drawing ! 💚

Younger I put so much pressure on myself to do quick, finished, accurate drawings all the time, and it was a bit demotivating erf

[tropic halo]

yeah im not gonna rush

thatll be no fun

plus i get better results when i take my time
i just wanna not spend 4 days on one piece

[analog sandal]

Oh I see, I understand the feeling

[mighty bronze]

LMAO, my brother had a copy of SAI and DID NOT TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT

time to see how is to do line art

[analog sandal]

I don't know the way you're working, but maybe looking for techniques to speed things up? Like colours idk ?

[tropic halo]

i just take long breaks to give my eyes rest

that and i spend 4 years just on the sketch

the rest is a breeze

[tropic halo]

its fantastic

[analog sandal]

I should take more breaks from computer

And I also spend way too much time on the sketch part 😅

[tropic halo]

i like making my sketches really detailed

sketch

then lineart

[mighty bronze]

Good God can't wait to try it after finishing up placing the sketch

did it in CSP still

[analog sandal]

CSP for the win I LOVE this soft so much

@tropic halo oooh my way of drawing is so close to yours !

[tropic halo]

yeah i use csp to colour

hell yeah
similar styles gang

[analog sandal]

Yeaaah

I'm gonna look if I have some sketch/final drawing comparison!

[warm finch]

those lines are clean

[tropic halo]

thanks

[mighty bronze]

I've been working all day on this, surprise party for me and Ciervo Bizarro, since we are both January kiddos I wanted to do something special starting the new year, it looks so messy now but I can't wait to add more details and start the line art!!

I have to mention I used https://twitter.com/reikenma_ picture as reference for our characters

?! (@reikenma_)

placeholder for reikenma

Twitter

they have private profile though

[tropic halo]

january gang

[mighty bronze]

IT WAS A DAY FULL OF ART

[mighty bronze]

Last one before I zzz

[graceful vortex]

Bah...I think I'm going to start out writing my SDV journey this time.

I need something a bit more for this runthrough.

Not sure how to space the days out, but I guess I'll figure that out

[regal oyster]

[bleak bloom]

[pastel iris]

caroline and jodi update

[austere moat]

im loving jodi’s hair!

[gloomy turtle]

very clean

[pastel iris]

thank youu

evelyn and robin update

[warm finch]

working on some art for my babe

[pastel iris]

300 layers, still doing some line cleaning, not to forget there are still uncounted layer duplicates

maybe I gotta make a new document when it reaches 600 layers lmao

[mighty bronze]

Dang

My friend, you make separate layers for every line kek

[warm finch]

That is a looooot of layers

The last time i did so many layers were uh, about 300 or 400, color included

[gloomy turtle]

bruh max layers i do are like 15

[supple cape]

I don't even draw but 300 layers sounds like a nightmare

[bleak bloom]

ooooof

thats.. daunting

[supple cape]

The only way I can relate is with music tracks in my DAW, 5 is a nightmare to keep track of

[tropic halo]

same

[supple cape]

I know art is very different but still

[tropic halo]

and i tend to merge a lot

idk how you peeps get to 300

[raw dragon]

300 layers? holy shibas eating spaghetti in space, that's alot

[bleak bloom]

i had 200 and something frames in a gif before. most layers i've got on an art piece was like.. 60? 70? something like that

i merge most of them

ill have like

20 layers for lineart bits, but i merge them at the end

and then clipping mask for color on top of lines, like 3 layers for that

aaaaa

it just adds up

[tropic halo]

i cant imagine using more than one layers for my sketch

[pastel iris]

lmao

1st thing is, keep in mind that I'm drawing like 15 characters in 1 file

[bleak bloom]

oh jeez. one?

oop. my computer couldnt handle that

[pastel iris]

so we can assume for 1 character consists of.. 20 layers

[supple cape]

Oh that makes sense

[gloomy turtle]

20 layers for lineart

[pastel iris]

but no colors yet

[mighty bronze]

[lone mountain]

about time someone recognized it, i love tristan so much 😔

[analog sandal]

Yeah he's a cool boy 👌

[warm finch]

i finished the art 😄

[rain olive]

I really love it butter! But I think maybe removing the nostril would make her cuter?

Im just saying!!!

It does look lovely, butter!!

[abstract dust]

So pretty.

[rain olive]

What do you think butter??

I really love your arts though!! Sorry if my comment earlier was out of line!!

[warm finch]

i'm not sure

can someone vote >.<

[bleak bloom]

aaaaa she's so cute

yeah without it looks better

[warm finch]

I like both 🤔

[rain olive]

If you want to keep the nostril its fine, but its too further away from the actual nose for me.. ahaha... Makes the nose look big

[warm finch]

;-; i have a big nose

[abstract dust]

I like the nostril.

[rain olive]

Me too butter

[warm finch]

Pengo is the odd ones out

[bleak bloom]

the nostril does look good.

[rain olive]

Its like shes doing a big sniff

[warm finch]

Lmaooo

[rain olive]

Lololol sorryyyy but I just thought so!!

[warm finch]

Noooo it’s funny

I chuckled 🤭 😂

[rain olive]

[warm finch]

God

That froggie is so fudging cute

[rain olive]

I knowwww

[warm finch]

It is so darn cute

I was trying some new techniques but it became cursed so it’s not gonna be shown ever to the world-

[rain olive]

Aaaaaa im sorry!!!!

[warm finch]

Oh nooo

It’s another technique

but then i fuked up and it's now gonna take some work before i can work on the coloring

[rain olive]

Undo??

[warm finch]

i can't ;-;

[rain olive]

Wut..

[humble lava]

saved the working file to a non-transparent .png by accident?

[warm finch]

it's- i tried

it looks scary if i do

soooo this is gonna stay like this

[unkempt tinsel]

awwww lookin very cute

[warm finch]

😄

[tropic halo]

same here

[abstract dust]

Nostril team!

[tropic halo]

im probs biased because i draw the nostrils as well

[abstract dust]

I wish I could draw nostrils and make it look good.

[warm finch]

YEAAAAA NOSTRIL TEAM

[tropic halo]

nostril gang

[lone mountain]

sometimes i do nostrils and sometimes not, its really hard for me to get it to my own liking, also depends on the angle for me

[unkempt tinsel]

is that my boy rock lee

[warm finch]

Oh shoot, I LOVE THAT ANGY CHICKEN

[tropic halo]

yup

the red areas are going to be the grass and the blue area is going to be the pond, and I plan on adding more slimes

[raw dragon]

yo is that slime rancher art? that's cute

[mossy leaf]

yep it is!

[vestal spade]

hmmm

guys, can i get a handful of opinions from yall?

left or right?

[mossy leaf]

I prefer right, I like his puffy hair and his loose coat

[analog sandal]

Both are so cool ;;
But i'd say right

[snow jolt]

I love both, but prefer right

[vestal spade]

okay, everyone says right, so right it is haha, thanks guys!

[bleak bloom]

oooooo he looks so good

i never use mods but i'd use that 100%

[vestal spade]

thank you!~

[lone mountain]

the right!!!

[echo mesa]

almost . . . complet

[tropic halo]

Nice

I should try some coloured lineart
Probs not to that extreme

But sumn a lil coloured

[echo mesa]

coloured lineart fun ;D

[tropic halo]

To some extent

[tropic halo]

idk what this is but enjoy

[lament turtle]

reminds me of lars.

[vagrant geyser]

Hmm, might do something for the event this time...

[mossy leaf]

same, I need to make up for not making a drawing for the halloween event

[warm finch]

Winter outfit design for the dwarf

[abstract lichen]

That's so cute!

[warm finch]

Must make dwarf look like an adorable lil walking present-

[tropic halo]

same here

also thats adorable

[mossy leaf]

I finally got to try out the time-lapse feature on clip studio paint

[tropic halo]

csp crashes everytime i try to export a timelapse ;-;

nice lineart tho

[mossy leaf]

its still in its sketch form

its just a cleaner version of the rough sketch

[tropic halo]

:O

thats a lot of clean up

i normally just do a single sketch
then move on to lineart

[mossy leaf]

this drawing I did months ago perfectly shows my process of making art

[tropic halo]

im too lazy for clean up sketches

i normally just do it really rough
then use the eraser to clean up and add details on the same layer

[warm finch]

some wip for the event

[tropic halo]

yall work fast
damn

[crude crag]

#ijustdidallmylineartonmysketchlayer #fml #kmn

[tropic halo]

bruh

ill never understand how peeps do that
my sketch layer is always aat like
5% opacity max

so if i drew my lineart on it it would be hella pale and id realize
plus i always lock my layers when im not drawing on em

[crude crag]

that’s smart- I’m new to digital and am still getting used to the program so like :’)

[tropic halo]

what program do you use?

[tropic halo]

after making that lineart on sketch layer mistake once i started locking my layers and stuff

[warm finch]

i like csp, but it's not free ;-;

[tropic halo]

made sure it never happened again

csp goes on sale often

i got it on sale

[warm finch]

same

[lament turtle]

@fresh anvil ur artstyle makes me feel so uplifted

[fresh anvil]

YOU

[warm finch]

look at this smol boi

[ivory vine]

im going to take his carrot

[lament turtle]

Smol

Huggable

[ivory vine]

easy to steal from

[echo mesa]

dabs in Italian my wrist is trembly and isnt making lineart easy

[mighty bronze]

I wanna get better at clean lines, especially digitally

[tropic halo]

stabilizer is your best friend

[mighty bronze]

But I can see improvement

[tropic halo]

i use mine at 15

[mighty bronze]

I don't use high stabilizer

Only 2 or 4

[tropic halo]

one thing i hate about csp is what you have to adjust the stabilizer for each individual brush

every other program ive used just has it as a specific number for everything

[echo mesa]

ive got it set to 9 atm 😔

[mighty bronze]

Interesting

Maybe I'm used without it kek

[tropic halo]

the higher it is the more clean your lines will be
but if its too high and you dont know how to handle that then it can just suck the life outta your piece and make it stiff af

[echo mesa]

i find it awkward to use when its higher 😔

[mighty bronze]

Yeah, high stabilizer is ewie, maybe only if I want to write something wobbly

[echo mesa]

i think ive just been drawing for too long today - hence my wrist feeling trembly

[tropic halo]

the stabilizer in sai is very light weight

[echo mesa]

making a reference sheet for one of me characters 😔

[tropic halo]

so 15 is still very loose

you should do some anatomy practices
would help you get proportions a bit more onpoint

[echo mesa]

ye, i used to do figure studies every so often
i rly need to get back to doing that

[mighty bronze]

I've been seeing milk art for a long time, thought he got deeper into an art style

[tropic halo]

i used to give people really tiny legs cause i was just working with the space i have

then i just started making the canvas bigger

[echo mesa]

idk what deeper into an art style means ;D

[mighty bronze]

Well like

Found your way

[echo mesa]

i think my art does have a kinda specific look to it
but it wasnt rly smething i aimed for

[mighty bronze]

Sometimes we search for something we already found

[tropic halo]

one thing i kinda struggle with is same face syndrome

ive been trying to give characters differnt shaped and sized eyes nose ears lips and so on

to help differentiate between characters

[echo mesa]

that do be a struggle 😔 ive been experimenting with slightly different noses but i do need to do more

i rly like how you did rock lees face ! it suited him

and the way you do Shane's face? 👌

[mighty bronze]

No matter what, allow your style to try new things

[echo mesa]

thinking about a wip i started a few months ago tho 😔 it remains unfinished
haunting me

[tropic halo]

thank you!

i think ik what im gonna draw now

[echo mesa]

;D

this wip haunts my dreams

[tropic halo]

thats a nice background

you should finish it one day

btw
are you guys collecting your free clippy coins

you get 15 everytime you log on until dec 31

[echo mesa]

its just drawing over a minecraft screen shot
but theres So Much that its tedious

ive been collecting them, but i think ive been forgetting sme days

so thank you for the reminder lol

[tropic halo]

yeah same
but i have a cool brush pack i can get now

ive seen people use minecraft and the sims to get good backgrounds

[echo mesa]

its good for landscape practice imo
i used to take screenshots in minecraft then use em as a reference

like dis one is based off a screenshot

[boreal seal]

that's pretty cool

[echo mesa]

^~^

[tropic halo]

damn

i could never

[mighty bronze]

Wewew

[echo mesa]

and a nether one

vry old file
smol
pixaly

[tropic halo]

im looking through my old shane art for references
and i forgot i did this

also i think im gonna have to boot up minecraft one of these days

that seems like a great practice

[echo mesa]

ye ;D and theres a decent amount of variety to landscapes bc of the different biomes

caves and cliffs update next year
that'll add sme Funk

based on me house on a server ;D

and based on my irl neighbour ;D

did those both with mouse
glad i have a tablet now

[tropic halo]

i never did art with a mouse

i wasnt even interested in digital art

i only got a tablet cause i had a project for school

then i figured
i have it why not use it
and now im here
