vernal nexus

Thanks for the help @tropic halo ! I appreciate it, will take your quotation for reference

Those coins are called Clippys, and you can buy stuff like brushes with them.

Does anyone have any good pixel art websites? I want to try getting into pixel art but just don't have any way of doing it

stuck robin

im not sure about websites, but you can compile aseprite for free or use paint.net (ive never used paint.net but concerned ape used it for stardew!)

unkempt tinsel
#

tfw people not even following me/showing any interest in my art asking me to draw stuff for them

#

this has happened twice since i started posting star wars art

#

i also have no requests on my profile that no one reads πŸ˜”

maybe on each of your art

Was Lowkey planning some PokΓ©mon art of my own

#

Recent drawfee video inspired me

echo mesa
#

ooooo
i love drawfee :SDVpufferheart:

echo mesa
tropic halo
#

Are those project files or just the image files

echo mesa
#

both project files and image files

tropic halo
#

Damn

#

I only have about 4 months of project files in a folder

#

Excluding all the January stuff that I have organized

#

And it's already around 5gb

#

And that's just the csp folder

echo mesa
tropic halo
#

My psd folder is way bigger

#

Then my Sai 2.....

echo mesa
#

my January folder for this year is 7.4gb

tropic halo
#

I organize my folders every couple months

echo mesa
#

i just organize stuff as i go
otherwise it'll be a forever mess

tropic halo
#

Easier that way for me

#

I normally just have everything I do in my downloads folder

#

Msuic movies art references games

#

Then every couple months I got and put stuff where they're supposed to be

echo mesa
#

SDVpuffersweats i hate having Anything in my downloads folder

tropic halo
#

Imagine

#

Mine is always full

#

Easy access

#

Especially for recent stuff that I'll use often

#

Like project files

#

So I don't have to go searching

#

Then when I'm fine using the file I just yeet it into the art folder

echo mesa
#

i mean, ig its cool that works for you
my folders being numbered means i know Exactly where things are and its organized

tropic halo
#

Numbered

#

I just have folders for each month

#

Then in those for each year

#

That's all the organization I'll ever do

#

Since idc much about the exact date of my art

echo mesa
#

i have folder for each month - but they have number at start so they stay in order
same with years
and the art within the months

tropic halo
#

I would number my months folder but the jumbled order doesn't really bother me

vagrant meteor
#

#

I've grown used to their positions

#

A lot of what I draw doesn't need to be stored properly anyways
Lots of files with just line practice, studies, painting practices, random eyes so on so forth

vernal nexus
#

You can message Bouncer and the mods will check.

#

If you already knew that, sorry. :'D

boreal seal
#

i didn't, thanks

vernal nexus
#

I'm also trying to get the role but I think I might need a few more days of activity in the creative channels.

#

I'm gonna do more art today πŸ‘€ More Penny or farmer, maybe.

finite river
#

um, is this where i can post fanfic ideas?

#

i'd like to share my little scenes far and wide, but actually writing out the full story is not something i have the energy for ^^;

rain olive
#

Sure!

finite river
#

intro: Sebastian's sitting in a quiet part of town, calming himself down from social anxiety. Haley notices that he's out in the sun, and asks what the hell is up. He doesn't say anything. Haley realises something is really wrong...and she offers him a makeover. Because makeovers make everything alright. Sebastian realises she actually is trying to help.

#

the whole fic idea is full of little meaningful gestures that have me crying over my own ideas, so other gestures include: instead of turning up to Sebastian's house with roses and a box of chocolates, Haley turns up with purple/black flowers and a bento box. Sebastian, being the carpenter's son, learns how to carve sunflowers out of wood so Haley can always have her favourite flowers. Also, Sebastian asks Haley for a date at an alternative restaurant, Haley worries about dress-code, and Sebastian suggests Lolita as it's still pink and over-the-top feminine.

rain olive
#

Awww its really cute Kat!!

finite river
#

thank you so much! SDVpufferheart

boreal seal
#

That's pretty sweet!

finite river
#

thank you, too SDVpufferheart

#

bonus: When Alex finds out, he comes to Sebastian and immediately says "I'm not here to be jealous ex or anything like that." Basically, Alex had thought that there was no common ground between the prep/jock group and the goth/rock group, so it was just Haley who could be his friend in town. But since Haley had started dating Sebastian, of all people, maybe there was enough common ground to have more friends. So he asks Sebastian to be his friend.

what the hell did i just see

#

i have no idea wether this is cute because of the ending bit or just weird?

finite river

The people on the website I frequent offer adoptables based on OCs etc. Some also offer the "Random bullshit go" things but it's mostly based on others' OCs and such.

#

So basically, I've seen both, but I prefer basing them on OCs. :D

#

....or I would if I had started working on adoptables instead of drawing Maru and Lightning SDVpufferblob

not stardew related but just an oc. I tried the gaussian blur effect thingie to make the lineart more glowy and i adore the effect omg

unkempt tinsel

i can't make pixel art to save my life

your pixel art is very good tho

#

i taught myself how to pixel art somehow

#

i just struggle more with portraits SDVthinking

velvet sun
#

maybe i'll do the portraits first,,

dense wing
#

if you do the portraits first, in my experience, it's best to just make the basic expressions

#

and then save the unique expressions until after you're done spriting the unique frames on the over-world sprite

I just lost...so much art

@sullen leaf please don't make suicide jokes

Sorry, my apologies

valid thunder
#

Howd u lose ur art?

humble lava
#

art program crash without saving?

sullen leaf

My tablet said no<3

tropic halo
#

if your tablet stopped working how did you lose art?

peak crest
#

oof

#

i'm sorry for your loss? @sullen leaf

pastel iris
#

maybe they meant to say they lost their will to draw something? because of broken tablet?

tropic halo
#

oh yeah
i keep forgetting that tablet doesnt always mean graphics tablet

#

sorry my brain smooth

warm finch
#

or it could be your ipad....

#

everything poof...

#

i remember a sai save corrupted and i lost my will to learn digital drawing for months and years

but i never used fire alpaca again

#

HRRR HELP MEEE; linework/lineart is my weaknesss. Any tips...? Like where the heck do I thicken or thin the lines?? I'm on minigames timeout in artfight btw

sly narwhal
#

uh

#

use long strokes

#

don't hesitate too much

merry dove
#

That's exactly what I wanted to do πŸ‘ though, I don't have a touchscreen... thanks for the advice!

sly narwhal
#

oh u on mouse?

#

then uh idk

#

i've never used mouse to draw

merry dove
#

I see

echo mesa
#

when i did mouse art i just Never did lineart SDVpuffersweats

merry dove
#

Oh wow, I see why now

echo mesa
#

tho tbh, the sooner you start learning and practicing lineart the better
ive been learning to do lineart and it do be a McStruggle

warm finch
#

Sai has a special layer which you can do lineart as if you have a tablet

#

It’s called uhh pen layer if I remember correctly , next to the regular layer adding button

#

With that you can basically draw lines and decide where to make it thin or thick

#

Essentially you can make your lineart look like it’s done with tablet, even you’re doing it with mouse

indigo ibex
#

These might be what they are talking about

#

you can create a line work layer and use the curve and line tool to make clean lines. Square on the side is a example.

merry dove
#

Ohh, right

#

Yup, I just knew that ever since. Thanks

warm finch
#

The pressure tool will show you points where you can make the lines thin or thick, where as edit can let you add turning points to the line which you can also use to make the point of the line thinner or thicker

echo mesa
#

ive been looking at getting a new tablet πŸ˜”
but like, my current ones still Kinda new and Works

#

but screen tablets . . .

fossil helm
#

oop

#

I kinda want a drawing tablet, but my tiny dinky little mobile fire tablet works fine for now lol

vernal nexus
#

My tablet is like... 10 years old I think? And it still works fine but sometimes I think I should be getting a new one lol

#

It was like 50€ btw so definitely a cheaper one.

echo mesa
#

celebrate having it 10 yrs by . . . replacing it lol

vernal nexus
#

Oh god πŸ˜‚

echo mesa
#

10 yrs is prtty awesome for it being cheap

vernal nexus
#

Yeah! I'm quite impressed.

#

It's a simple Wacom Bamboo Pen, got nothing fancy, just a tiny surface and a pen. Not much to break.

echo mesa
#

i got my tablet midway through last year SDVpufferpensive
so it'll probably last a Lot longer
but screen tablet . . .

vernal nexus
#

A friend of mine has a screen tablet but she works in Design so she kinda needs it.

echo mesa
#

id love to make a living from art, but i don't so i dont necessarily need a screen tablet
but one day im gon get one ;-;

vernal nexus
#

Yeah I feel that. I hope you can treat yourself to one one day :)

#

She's gonna set up an art shop soon and I'm looking forward to it but she got a bunch of stuff to organise. It's gonna take a while I think.

#

I hope she makes a lot of money from it.

echo mesa
#

fingers crossed
hopefully getting it all set up goes smoothly too

vernal nexus

#

me? admiring screen tablets and never buying one? it's more likely than you think

modest sphinx
#

If you want extra value out of your money but find most screen tablets expensive you could get an ipad and pencil!

#

The divide between drawing on paper and hand/eye coordinating with graphic tablets is frustrating in the long run and drawing directly on a screen greatly improves that.

echo mesa
#

tbh, ive never had issue with hand/eye coordination when it comes to using a screenless tablet
i do like the idea of an ipad just bc if the being able to take it places more easily tho

modest sphinx
#

I suppose it's all personal but for me I literally have to redo a line when doing lineart 20+ times because it doesn't end up the way I want

#

Also I mainly draw on paper and only own a graphics tablet and making the switch is irritating because I need to basically "warm-up" the hand/eye coordination

echo mesa
#

i think the fact i did mouse art for years before getting a tablet rly helped me

#

i was Sole-ly digital art for a while, but ive been doing traditional art again lately
filling up a sketch book is just such a satisfying feeling that u just cant replicate with digital art

modest sphinx
#

yeah

mighty bronze
#

I like to switch between traditional and digital, I do like digital being a faster way to draw but I can never give up on the feeling of my hand going over a piece of paper catdrool

#

Usually my sketchbooks have detachable pages so I put them in a big folder instead

#

Also, I did feel like wanting a screen tablet but at the same time, meh, if anything ima just get an iPad

#

Or idk

sly narwhal
#

for me traditional is faster

#

but i mostly do digital cuz i'm able to polish it more

open rampart
#

i have a screen tablet and it's better than an ipad imo, but i also prefer large drawing surfaces since i draw with my arm and not my wrist. the 12.9" ipad pales to the 22" screen tablet i have

sly narwhal
#

i'd like a screen tablet but i'm doing fine without one so eh

echo mesa
#

i love the idea of screen tablet for the size
one of the things i focused on when i got my current tablet was its size
like, i just rly didnt want a Small Fella like that small wacom a lot of pple start with?
like, cool, that works for them
but i wanted ~space~

sly narwhal
#

big tablets mean that ur lines will have to be drawn on longer than a smaller tablet

#

if that makes sense

echo mesa
#

my tablets nearly the size of my laptop screen and i just Like That

sly narwhal
#

ye same

#

and then my lines go

#

shaky

echo mesa
#

my lines are always at least a lil shaky
i have Accepted that

sly narwhal

ahaha ocs,, haven't made any of them

Ima focus on them for now

Hey is there a animation software for comp? I want to try animating I only did very simple ones on my tablet but now that I have a drawing thingy for my comp, I want to try to try it out

sly narwhal

adobe animate or u can check pins for animate alternatives

valid thunder
#

Thank you~

tropic halo
#

mainly cause im poor

#

and dont feel like spending money on traditional tools

#

but also cause digital is less messy

scarlet summit
#

I also switch between them bc sometimes in the mood for digital sometimes for traditional

ember zealot
#

i sketch a lot more traditionally

warm finch
#

i used to do a lot of traditional art, but now i start to enjoy coloring digital art

ember zealot
#

im cheap and the app i use to draw is free which prolly correlates to the fact theres no 'gallery' of wips or things like that, so its too much work for me (bc im lazy) to open and save and close sketches every time i want to draw digitally

warm finch
#

and i love using all those brushes i got online

#

sometimes i still do concept and basic design stuff first before i draw it digitally

ember zealot
#

so i normally just do things i plan to finish rahter than sketches

tropic halo
#

traditional is too limited for me

#

you only have a handful of colours

#

handful of tools

ember zealot
#

my camera quality is p much absolute dogshit so i dont sketch stuff out and transfer it to digital usually

tropic halo
#

and its just more stress inducing

ember zealot
#

thats fair nae
sometimes the challenge is fun :0

tropic halo
#

doesnt go well with my crappy anger management

ember zealot
#

LMAO

tropic halo
#

when i did art i school i used to rip up so many of my pieces

#

id get 3/4 of the way through

#

then boom
something spills

#

or the wrong colours goes in the wrong place

#

and there no way to undo that

ember zealot
#

aaa noo that makes me sad :(

tropic halo
#

cant liquify incorrect proportions irl

#

cant lasso stuff
so digital is better for my mental state

ember zealot
#

very fair

#

and i have taken to drawing more on digital which is weird for me,,

vernal nexus
#

I agree the lasso is a handy tool, along with the fact that a digital canvas doesn't "waste" paper if something goes wrong, and it doesn't cost anything to use the brushes and open a new canvas.

#

Sometimes I like sketching traditionally and it's easier to move my hands/arm when doing traditional stuff, but there are a lot of advantages to digital art.

#

I'm glad both exist.

tropic halo
#

yeah its a matter of preference

#

what work best for you

#

i like doing everything digitally

#

i can liquify my mistakes away

warm finch
#

Using less paper is trueee

We got brushes these days to recreate watercolor, oil painting, and different techniques

Hi everyone, I made a quiz, is anyone interested in it?

#

Wait I've never known that, just that I see a number of artists dreading linework.

tropic halo
#

Line work is fun

#

It was my fav part of the process before I stopped doing it

sly narwhal
#

line work is hard

#

it involves many many undos for me

tropic halo
#

I make my sketches incredibly detailed so I don't even have to think much when I do lineart

#

I just breeze through it

sly narwhal
#

however detailed my sketches are

#

i still have to undo so many times

tropic halo
#

I undo fairly often as well

#

But yeah it's just second nature to me now

lol one for rough one for slightly less rough

i start out really rough

#

then i just clean up

#

im just way too lazy to use more layers than i need to

bleak bloom
#

im bad so if i dont use 567898765 layers to sketch ill ruin the proportions or something and then it'll be hell to fix later

tropic halo

if i need to fix proportions i just lasso and transform

tropic halo

or just erase some bits

bleak bloom

oof

tropic halo
#

lowkey just way too lazy

#

ive seen people do like
eyes on one layer
ears on one layer
hair on one layer

bleak bloom
#

i do later for head, one for hair and one for facial features

sly narwhal
#

300 layers woah

tropic halo

i normally go up to 200 max

with shading and stuff

how do you peeps use that many layers.....

i use like

for a fully rendered piece

i need to draw sumn for me

pastel iris
#

I've made some comparison a file with 500 layers incl colors loads longer than 500 layers with linearts and sketches

tropic halo
#

why didnt you just make a new file for each character?

#

i imagine exporting is gonna take a while

pastel iris
#

simple, it's being lazy lol

tropic halo
#

make a group visible then export
then that over and over

sly narwhal
#

lmfao yes put everything in one file bc lazy

#

what is exporting more than once

tropic halo
#

but anyways
i like the new webtoon features csp has

pastel iris
#

but one thing for sure, I'd certainly move to single files when I reached coloring session

tropic halo
#

or maybe they were always there and i didnt realize

pastel iris
#

atm it's still linearts

bleak bloom
#

i was going to work on a profile picture for someone today but my migraine said otherwise

tropic halo
#

how are you gonna export the files for colouring?

pastel iris
#

I mean, why there's a need to export files?

#

it's not like I'm moving to a different file format

tropic halo
#

well now im confused

#

you said youre moving to single files when you reach the colouring stage

pastel iris
#

I'm not sure what 'export file' are you referring, perhaps it's a different thing than I thought?

pastel iris
tropic halo
#

you know what

#

nvm

pastel iris
#

took me awhile to think, I'd assume you mistook me for exporting into single layer? in case if you do, you know I never do that πŸ˜†

#

I simply made new file with HD portrait resolution (256x256), copying the layer folder I've made in lineart file (no layer merge ofc), compress it down to fit with the HD portrait resolution, then start coloring and as well making the rest of expression for the said characters

#

there are some special case that has to be drawn uniquely like shane's drunk expression and when he's holding charlie as well

tawny lynx
#

It'd be neat if an art program allowed you to restrict brushes and palletes per layer.

#

So like if you tried doing linework on your fill layer that you've restricted linework brushes from, it wouldn't allow it.

tropic halo
#

just like

#

lock layers when youre not using em

#

simple

#

and that would just be inconvenient

#

cause some people use one brush to do multiple things

#

Anyone find starting the creative endeavor the hardest part, but once you do you really get into the flow?

#

Actually I feel like it's more evenly split than we realize between those that have trouble starting and those that have trouble maintaining momentum.

mighty bronze
#

I did post that back then lmaooo

#

mood

tawny lynx
#

For me it's partially because doing 3D modeling and related work (textures, animation, etc) means having about four or so full development programs open at once.

#

Not that my computer can't handle it, but it's daunting.

unkempt tinsel
#

the meme is fine do yall really take us as trigger happy

tawny lynx
#

Yeah just making sure. Granted we still get people in #creative asking if that channel is where they can post art.

#

Maybe change the wording a bit so it's more like "[...]post any creative work you've made here! if it's related to SDV, let us know and it'll appear in #art-gallery"

#

I think the current description might make it somewhat ambiguous, being that it's located in a SDV server, about whether or not the art is required to always be about SDV as well, and that #art-gallery exists so that all the art that they assume must be related to SDV can be consolidated in one unbroken line.

ember zealot
#

for me i always have this idea that sounds so cool and then i sit down and start and its
it doesnt go the way i planned in my head πŸ˜”

tawny lynx
#

There's that one old-ish comic where it shows that guy envisioning that art in his head as he goes throughout the day, and when he finally sits down to draw it, it doesn't look anything like what he imagined.

mighty bronze
#

things won't go the way you planned

#

yes it is normal

tawny lynx
#

Maybe I like 3D modeling since I can often adjust mistakes without having to erase/delete them first.
