base for alex new profile. yay or nay? and does he look too asian?

dull tide
#

asian alex pls 🙏

#

jk jk he looks good

tropic halo
#

Is this a pixel art portrait or art you just drawing in a very small canvas

vital pier
#

im turning abigail asian, thats why im warry of the eyes

#

small canvas for the potrait replacements (64x64) @tropic halo

#

at first i was going for 400 x 400 for potraitor mods, but it doesn tsupport beach potraits atm : (

tropic halo
#

You know you can't use normal drawing brushes to do pixel art right?

#

Need a binary brush

#

One that drawings one pixel at a time

vital pier
#

can actually ?

dull tide
#

my brain processing u can do portrait commissions here SDVpufferthink

vital pier
#

like the korean person i saw streamed does pixel art with normal brush

#

then ofcourse the detail with dot brush later

dull tide
#

pixel art is hard ;_; idk how ppl do it

tropic halo
#

I see

#

Have fun then

#

Pixel art isn't too hard

#

I made some portraits for a mod I was doing a while back

dull tide
#

mayb it's the binary brush thing lol

vital pier
#

cause if u go dot brush right away, u lost the fluidity cause its very linear and 1 dimensional

dull tide
#

nice

tropic halo
#

Never finished the mod cause I got bored tho

dull tide
#

idk if my art is good enough tho SDVpufferthink

vital pier
#

this is one of the artist works, who does normal brush then dot brush

#

im copying this style and method

dull tide
#

SDVpufferwoke 💦

tropic halo
#

Have fun

vital pier
#

will do xD im doing all the NPC

#

tbh i never done pixel art comission nor do i have exp with comission. cause atm im on a project (hired) by a youtuber, so i does his thumbnail art for his videos and more thats for 200$. ( i live in a 3rd world country, so 200 is like good bucks lol)

tropic halo
#

Commissions are fun

vital pier
#

but if I were to charge, I guess no more than 20$ for pixel art

tropic halo
#

Invoices make me feel official and powerful

vital pier
#

i would charge less , but the time + how detailed i go into for every client. Id say 20$ for 2 potrait pixel. 10 each is good enough

#

since its 64x64 xD i figured its already expensive at 20$ lol

tropic halo
#

That's under selling but I can't tell you how to price your stuff

vital pier
#

yeah, im bad at pricing stuff @tropic halo

tropic halo
#

Invoices are just another method via PayPal to get paid for goods and services

#

Basically digital receipts you can put your terms of service on

lament turtle
#

bruh that link is big cute

tropic halo
#

Protect yourself from unfair charge backs with the ability to refute

dull tide
#

gotcha ty for explaining that

vital pier
tropic halo
#

It's essentially illegal to pay for goods and services other ways in PayPal

dull tide
#

ok I c ty ty SDVpufferthumbsup

i pretty much gave up at making pixel portraita

vital pier

#

im bad at pixel art lol

ahh lol, well bad dosnt mean u cant improve 😉

#

stop comparing ur self with others, close that '' im not good like them or i suck '' mentality to, its fucking ok that i suck and draw like as if my hands are made from mashed potatoes

i feel like anyone who organizes their layers is super disappointed in me right now because god it is a disaster

#

i enjoy playing the "press the eye button a few times to figure out what this layer is" game

dont worry my layer 30 is either in the middle of everything or right next to layer 12

Hey, I have a question for those of you who do digital art. How would I, a complete beginner, go about getting better at using Procreate? I know many artists, both new and seasoned, use it as their main app, but I just can’t seem to get the hang of it. Any advice would be much appreciated

unkempt tinsel
#

i wish i could help but i have never used procreate ):

#

is there anything in particular you're struggling with?

marble storm
#

Well, I’m not sure how to really focus my question into one thing specifically, but I know one thing I struggle with is using layers efficiently

unkempt tinsel
#

can you make as many layers as you want or are you limited?

unkempt tinsel
#

aw thanks!!!

#

i'm gonna finish it soon, gotta color one more person and then clean up a bit of lines

odd tiger
#

Ah

i really love how you're doing her hair!!

also the piece came out so nice

velvet sun
tropic halo
#

damn

unkempt tinsel
#

oh yeah LOL i'm done with my art now let's see what travesty my layers are

#

in my defense this was a fun doodle that turned into a lot more

tropic halo
#

and i lock what im not using

#

im just too stressed i might do sumn on the wrong layer

unkempt tinsel
#

to be fair tho i get a little paranoid about layers so some of these i could've combined without an issue and it looks a lot worse than it is LOL

tropic halo
#

damn

#

thost layers are stressing me out

#

do you just hide and unhide til you find what you need?

unkempt tinsel
#

yeah LOL

#

but if it helps you feel a little bit better, i don't really get lost in the layers since i do things in a particular order

tropic halo
#

im way too lazy for that

#

my goal is to finish in the shortest possible time

#

so i just name everything so i can find it easier later

unkempt tinsel
#

i am too lazy to name layers.... we are at an impass.....

#

it is true i'm not in a rush tho LOL

#

i do often make folders though!

#

i didn't make a folder for this one

tropic halo
#

i dont use folders often

#

mainly cause i just forget i can

#

and i never really end up using many layers

#

i merge like crazy

unkempt tinsel
#

i respect dat

#

i respect ur cleanliness

lost kettle
#

What if you merged the wrong layers?

safe halo
#

why do all of my sketches look good but then when i go to line it it.. does not

unkempt tinsel
#

that is why i never do lineart

#

i should get better at lining but i really like to color my sketches and clean up after instead

safe halo
#

pain. agony, if you will.

unkempt tinsel
#

Suffering

tropic halo
#

cleaning up the sketch is superior

#

lineart is for losers

lost kettle
daring gale
grand cave
#

^^ I never do lineart, and tons of professional artists don’t

tropic halo
#

just depends on the style youre going for

#

some will have super clean lines
some wont

#

i do lineart sometimes
if im going for a more cartoony style
but i like the loose fluidity i get from just cleaning up the sketch

daring gale
#

there are also varying degrees of cleaning up your sketch as well!
a lot of 2D artists feel pressured to make lineart, but it's not a necessity - you don't have to be a pro at lineart to draw, you know? c:

nvm hate lineart again

tropic halo
#

Bro why

#

It's fun

#

But if you really don't enjoy doing it just colour your sketch

grand cave
#

That’s the thing I do hate with procreate... you... can’t really do lineart easily. The stabilisation is horrible, there basically is none. Which is why I go for a non lineart style, which works fine. I’ll improve it in the future.

tropic halo
#

Huh
That's the first I'm hearing someone not say lineart in procreate is nice

#

Especially since most of the procreate art I've seen are just cartoony

hard wind
#

I need critique

#

It’s meant to look kinda scuff in a way

opal pumice
#

Thats pretty good

hard wind
#

Background

#

What should I do

opal pumice
#

Hmmm, Rainbows
a black background would go well

hard wind
#

Alright thank you

#

I’ll do rainbows 😈😈😈😈

gray gazelle
#

Rainbows are cool but i think maybe leaning into more deep violets/indigos at least around the figure could be interesting -- itll contrast well with the warmer tones around the edges while still harmonizing with the berry and magenta tones of the shadows

warm finch
#

trying some new technique and trying to make some breakthroughs..

tropic halo
#

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

i love it

#

it works well with your style

warm finch
#

i think so too! i think if i can get used to this style and find some ways to do it faster i can produce better art quicker 😄

stuck robin
#

WOAH

#

the colors and those eyes with that skin tone SDVpufferD

warm finch
#

this is my first time doing art of poc... and i am already loving how it's turning out

unkempt tinsel
#

oh i adore that hair!

warm finch
#

I thought about her hair when i was in the showers lol

#

I gotta keep practicing... so i can win againSDVpufferwoke

tropic halo
#

yeah its coming out nicely

warm finch
#

I’m trying to stop doing lineart because sometimes i feel like my lineart is holding me back and my art style doesn’t go too well with it

tropic halo
#

i just colour the sketch

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i dont think ill ever go back to super clean lineart

#

just not my thing

#

kinda stiffens the work

warm finch
#

I opened a new layer and color over the sketch, the sketch stays there cuz my facial proportions need to rely on that... i think it depends on what I’m drawing, if I’m drawing mochi stuff i might do harsh lineart again, other wise i wanna start doing coloring directly

#

The good thing about digital art is that mistakes can easily be removed and covered up

mighty bronze
#

Or traditional, just tear the paper into pieces, ez

warm finch
#

😔trees be crying

#

Plus... the time wasted on a failed work... not worth, esp now that I’m so freakin busy with school and work

mighty bronze
#

Really now, I'm happy I have got better in both mediums, no more wasted paper hue

warm finch
#

I still enjoy doodling on paper, still my thing, but i have begun to enjoy digital art a lot more

mighty bronze
#

Balance

#

I don't wanna focus on only one because I might stop doing the other wew

#

Turns out I want to paint on canvas too

#

Again

tropic halo
#

trad is messy
ill be exclusively digital til i can afford to do trad and spend hundreds on materials

mighty bronze
#

Smh nae, you don't need much

#

Just start simple with a sketchbook and some pens

#

Later on if you like it get some more supplies

warm finch
#

Mom be like: huhhhh sketch book? You wanna do art????? Why not spend your time doing homeworkkkkkk (as if i have homework 24/7😔)

mighty bronze
#

Pfffft

#

Pat pat is oke

warm finch
#

I gotta do art fast like sanic, that way my mom can’t complain me for not doing my schoolwork

#

Mom doesn't believe Ima be able to do commissions and earn money but she prays for that SDVsadcat2

tropic halo
#

Anyone can do commissions

#

I started comms when my art was garbage

velvet sun
#

lol imagine being able to do comissions

mighty bronze
#

I know I'll be able to do them but idk who would want me art

velvet sun
#

idk there's probably someone out there

#

like those people who slather mayonnaise on everything

mighty bronze
#

ima try getting more recognized making fan art and share on media

velvet sun
#

lol my fanart never gets recognized

mighty bronze
#

sometimes you never know

#

is true

velvet sun
#

probably because it's for a fairly small fandom? i mean i'd say it's a decent sized fandom but oh well

#

i dont really try to hard to get noticed, it's not really worth it for me

ember zealot
lament turtle
#

I mean even if you have godly art, if you don't present it with confidence and lack of knowledge about the app's algorithm you'd pretty much get a hard time getting recognition

#

Learned that the hard way ngl :'D

#

You'll overthink that your art is not good enough for the audience hence it usually leads to archiving the post or deleting it days/hours after it was posted- so how can newer audience see your art if its not there anymore

#

Anyways if you feel that your art sucks then atleast you are aware that something doesn't sit right in your eyes and by time you'll eventually reach a certain goal you wanted to achieve

#

Thank u for listening to my tedtalk uvu

velvet sun
#

haha i dont really have an audience to present my "art" to

lament turtle
#

I mean

#

Well you can start here on this server :'>

tropic halo
#

i drew in a similar style when i started

#

also AHHHH

#

milo

mighty bronze
#

still don't know if I already found a style but I think I can improve it

#

especially the eyes

tropic halo
#

dont worry too much about style
as long as you can keep some sort of consistency youre good with comms

lament turtle
#

Once I get money in my paypal I'm gonna be commissioning alot of small artists because yes

I need room decor

#

Is the right eye lower or am i imagining things?

#

(Don't mind her jawline, I'm working on it haha)

shut citrus
#

awww leah ♥
i think with the angle the right eye being lower makes sense, maybe try moving the eyes further away from one another?

vernal nexus
#

Should I move the right one or the left one further away? 🤔

shut citrus
#

hmmm maybe the right one?? (the one that looks "lower")

vernal nexus
#

Now I moved it too high but yeah that's the one that needs a little tweaking. Thanks! :D

#

Oh I think that did it actually 🤔

shut citrus
#

great

tropic halo
#

yeah since its a 3/4 ish view the left eye is gonna appear slightly farther back

vernal nexus
#

And I made her head narrower, it looked kinda broad haha

#

Fun fact I actually wanted a head-on view but it somehow ended up being 3/4 again... :|

#

Next time :'D

tropic halo
#

i enjoy doing slightly turned heads more

#

front views can get kinda boring

vernal nexus
#

I feel like complete front views are so rare, too, the head is always slightly tilted or in one direction over the other. But I did want to practice since I always go for side/turned views.

tropic halo
#

yeah its a good thing to practice

vernal nexus
#

Gotta draw Leah again, I guess 🤷‍♀️

#

I actually really love her hair. It's fun!

im trying (and failing) to draw a full illustration

#

not just a character floating in the void

#

but damn
nice backgrounds are hard to come up with

vernal nexus
#

Good luck!

tropic halo
#

i have the basic idea of what i want tho

vernal nexus
#

I always open the SDV wiki for inspiration for some reason.

#

It helps me having some screenshots of the game etc

tropic halo
#

eh
im not going for sdv styled stuff

#

its a city drawing

#

like new york
or tokyo

vernal nexus

Ahh I see.

for blush i normally use a redish pinkish colour on a multiply layer
it gives a nice colour that works well with the current skin tone

I kinda wanna draw art of lots of the children from vanilla and kids playing together at the playground next to the community centre but I’m not very good

I started painting the Leah portrait and I have regrets but I also wanna work this out somehow.

#

I think I need to figure out the best brushes to use.

mighty bronze
#

By the end of the month I've been doing quite some art and now my brain is zzzzzz, I should take a break

tropic halo
#

from what ive heard of krita the oily hair grease brush is good

#

its named someting alnog those lines

#

mixing that with the airbrush is great for painting

mighty bronze
#

Maybe these clippy coins will come in handy when ima search for a brush, I feel like I want something new for the line art

tropic halo
#

most of the really good brushes are free

hi can someone help? i think it looks off- (plz tag in response)

@lethal grove Hey, I think it might be the nose that's a little off. I would try moving it to the left a little more.

If that doesn't work out, it might be the mouth. The nose and mouth don't seem to align correctly, if that makes sense.

ill try it thanks!!

Thank you

Also how do you think yellow would layer on that?

i think your first one being a bit more zoomed in might be why people have a harder time seeing the face

#

but i can see it pretty well so i'm not sure

#

layer on what exactly?

Not later but like

#

If it was yellow

#

Instead of red

#

Or like what if I did that picture sort of

#

But blue maybe

unkempt tinsel
#

oohh, hmmm, well the yellow would give it a different feeling for sure, i think if you used blue instead it'd have a much less violent feeling

#

the red makes it look kinda gorey but i think it looks cool and effective for the emotion of the piece

hard wind
#

Hmmmmm

#

What color would I use to make this?

#

Idk if it’d be a blue or maybe even like a blue/beige/white/orange combo but for that to work it’d have to be just paint and not watered down

#

Or maybe just a watered down blue/brown combo

unkempt tinsel
#

i think blues would look really nice

hard wind
#

Alright

#

How should I do the drops?

#

Bc in the sad one I intentionally made it drip downward for like tears and stuff

#

But for the angry one it looks like it’s projecting from the guys face

Any tips for drawing eyes?

sly narwhal
#

uh realistic or anime

#

for realistic look at real eyes

#

for anime look at the way other anime artists draw eyes

odd tiger
#

realistic

#

Like I can draw realish eyes but when they're on a face they're rubbish

balmy venture
#

you're likely symbol drawing

hard wind
#

@odd tiger oooooooo

#

That’s a good outline so far

odd tiger
#

Thanks.

balmy venture
#

it sucks to hear but when it comes to drawing realism you have to hunker down and study anatomy before you'll be able to do realistic portraits easily

#

if you skip that step they'll always be difficult

hard wind
#

Yeah studying face is ass I can’t do it at all

odd tiger
#

Yeah I used to be able to draw very realistically when I was younger... I don't know what happened

hard wind
#

Like I got notes on all the facial features individually

#

But I can’t do it all together

odd tiger
#

Eyes are a pain in the butt for me

balmy venture
#

notes arent really important so much as doing studies is

#

take reference images off of google and practice breaking them down into basic shapes

hard wind
#

Eyes are the easiest for me when they’re by themselves

odd tiger
#

Same

balmy venture
#

as fast as you can without thinking about details

odd tiger
#

Thats good advice

balmy venture
#

then once you have that basic form down you can start paying attention to details and lighting and such

hard wind
#

Here are some notes

odd tiger
#

Those are awesome dude

hard wind
#

They aren’t very good but if they help they’re there

#

The best way to do it is to just draw and keep drawing

odd tiger
#

Yeah

#

Well I'm going to get back to it

hard wind
#

Alright good luck man

odd tiger
stuck robin
#

nice job so far

odd tiger

you got this! draw the general shape of the line, darker in the corners of the mouth, then try and shade the rest just following your reference

odd tiger
#

Thank you

Idk if this helps at all

#

But here are some lip notes

On form

That gives me an idea actually, thank you

look at your reference and pick out the most visible ones

you can red line the reference to help upi

Having some trouble with his nose :c

nothing wrong with red lining the reference to figure out the basic shapes

I'll try that

you also dont have to replicate it perfectly

iirc your face is a lot shorter than the reference
and the nose is just too big for the face

the reference has a long head

I appreciate the help a lot. My mind wants to get everything perfect and its hard to try not to

you wont get perfect on the first try

uh, maybe i will check PS

Yea it is CSP, PS work just fine, thought it has other kind of lag due to memory but no issue on the pen and stroke

CSP will sometimes fight my wacom's driver and do similiar things and I either need to restart csp, the pc, or plug the tablet in and out a bunch of times.

i haven't try out plug

hopefully it works

oh well, it didn't actually solve it but the delay decrease

Hey so this is gonna sound shady asf but

How do I remove the signature

I forgot we aren’t supposed to submit signed pieces to AP

Actually wait maybe

I don’t remember if that’s all work, just the selected works or just sustained investigation

#

@gray gazelle do you remember?

marble storm
#

Could you use a whiteout marker?

hard wind
#

@marble storm I was thinking about using one but idk how well alcohol markers would work on top of it

marble storm
#

Ah, youre right..

#

Do you have paint that is an off-white color?

tropic halo
#

just mix white paint with some yellow or sumn

#

and paint over it

hard wind
#

I might but it’s also gonna be submitted to AP so idk

#

Basically it’s for a college credit so I don’t have to pay a lot of money

But I might be able to have a signature on it

So idk

i did portrait drawing in grade 8

still dont like realism tho

the worst part about it is that i have to draw a self portrait and i hate my face :D

I haven't done realism in years

realism is just boring to me

if i wanted to capture something exactly as it is i would just take a picture

velvet sun

i swear to god i draw pretty much the opposite of how they want me to draw

doing realism is a good way to learn the fundamentals

makes your cartoony and stylized stuff way better in the end

I quite agree with that

spring plume

lament turtle
tropic halo
#

your features are very uneven

#

one ear is smaller than the next and same for the legs

lament turtle
#

It was a try for some perspective, but I did give up in the end sooooooo....

tropic halo
#

even if its perspective
why is the ear to us smaller?

#

another thing is that you have a lot of empty unused space

lament turtle
#

I know, this is for training. I'm still learning, and wait, that's an ear? I thought that were horns at dwarf's head

grand cave
#

Usually the thing closer to us is larger than the thing further away, In this case it seems like the right shoulder and right leg are closer towards us? Which doesn’t make sense with the way you did the perspective.

tropic halo
lament turtle
#

SDVpufferfear this was certainly my bad....In the next one I'll pay more attention

tropic halo
#

and even if youre learning
its better to learn right

#

line quality is also something you should practice

#

not necessarily clean lines
but interesting ones
line weight does a lot for a piece

lament turtle
#

Hummm, that's something new, I have too much to learn SDVpuffersweats

grand cave
#

And if you don’t want to fill in a background as such, maybe try making the whole subject fit! Or crop the page afterwards so that there isn’t a ton of empty space left. A lot of artists like to slightly tint their page or colour it so it’s less harsh on the eyes and so you can see your colours more clearly.

tropic halo
#

yeah
i recommend never using straight white unless its for harsh highlights

gray gazelle
hard wind
#

Damn hmmmm

#

I remember my teacher saying something about it

tropic halo
#

when i submitted pieces for my exam thingy
we didnt sign the wrong
but on the back of it we had to write our names and the date

lament turtle
#

Thanks for the tips SDVpufferheart

hard wind
#

And it doesn’t say anything in the websites

#

@tropic halo I did it for the first time last year and we had to do all digital submissions so I’m lost here lol

#

I’ll try that

tropic halo
#

@lament turtle here is an example of a piece with varying line weights

hard wind
#

It it was a piece I have already done in the past

#

Anyway now it looks like shit especially if I’m gonna submit it physically

tropic halo
#

looks fine to me

hard wind
#

More specifically in the bottom right corner

lament turtle
#

Ohhhh, that's something. I'm not much used to this, I'll improve :)

hard wind
#

The surface of the paper is torn up

pastel iris
#

been quite a while I didn't hop in this channe;

#

by the way ghost, I assume you're drawing with mouse?

tropic halo
#

nah
i think its a phone

#

with a stylus

hard wind
#

My teacher is getting a root canal and she can’t really respond to emails rn

#

So I’m stuck

#

And this is due tomorrow

grand cave
#

Why can’t you just explain the situation? Why would it matter

#

They aren’t going to fail you or such on you wondering if you should sign it or not... I’m not sure on the situation beyond what you said but it doesn’t seem like the end of the world. Submit it, explain why it’s torn, and leave it at that?

tropic halo
#

^^^

#

its also covered up fairly well

pastel iris
#

phone eh SDVpufferthink for some reasons I've seen more than once case beginner phone artists having trouble with line weights, perhaps it's the phone issue or the stylus? or maybe it's not particularly good drawing app?

grand cave
#

A lot of cheap styluses don’t even have line weights as an option.

tropic halo
#

ibis is a great app

#

its more the lack of skill and probably a bad stylus

pastel iris
#

I just peeked at ghost's dwarf in full reso, clearly the lines are rather blocky when it's zoomed in

#

this is probably bad app, I never seen one with lines like that

tropic halo
#

if he is using ibis paint
then its not a bad app

#

ik a lot of people that use ibis full time

pastel iris
#

of course ibis won't make that kind of lines

tropic halo
#

@lament turtle do you use ibis paint?

pastel iris
#

what I've been wondering is, what if they are using some kind of built in app

tropic halo
#

iirc thats what he uses
but im not too sure

pastel iris
#

built in drawing app are usually sucks for line weights, basically just like MS paint

tropic halo
#

i just make artificial lineweight

#

i start really thing and skinny
then i just go over and build up

#

i tried it for that one piece
but i just dont like lineart

lament turtle
grand cave
#

Again, it’s probably their stylus... a lot of cheap ones don’t support line weights at all

tropic halo
#

its fun to do
but its not what i want for my piece

#

see
i was right

#

its just a bad stylus and lack of skill

pastel iris
#

well heck, it might be your stylus or your phone now

grand cave
tropic halo
#

you can go in and create the lineweight if you dont have pen pressure

pastel iris
#

lack of skill cannot generate constant, blocky lines like that lol

tropic halo
#

i doubt its the phone

#

its probs just a small canvas

pastel iris
#

technical issue can be the problem

tropic halo
#

so its gonna be low quality

#

or the brush shape

pastel iris
#

ah right, brush shape could be the issue as well

lament turtle
#

SDVpufferfish I'm with mixed feelings... My stylus is not cheap for my currency, but sure isn't professional...

tropic halo
#

on a, i assume, small canvas

lament turtle
#

So, what should I do then? I'm using the default brush of the application
