i live quite far from y'all
argentina
@plain cedar p close
I live next to like 3 different states I think I don’t remember lol
bruh
Probably not tho cause I go to a local hs
aaaa so Missouri school
BUT if you guys travel out you probably be seeing my school at like sports and stuff
We’ve done things at state w Kansas schools I think
like to Kansas City
Im like 40 mins away from kc
Dude
LMAO 
There was another person in this server
wowie
That lived in the same city as me
wow that’s dope
It was wild
That’s crazy
Fr but brooooo
homies 
Frfr 😤
that’s crazy that u see some of the Kansas state schools tho
Probs blue valley & Shawnee mission
(you guys could prob talk more in town or adv since its getting off topic here!)
sorry sorrryyyy
Righttw
Will do !
Dms?
Sure thing
"i dont think height matters in a relationship"
So smol
base for alex new profile. yay or nay? and does he look too asian?
Is this a pixel art portrait or art you just drawing in a very small canvas
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 : (
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
can actually ?
my brain processing u can do portrait commissions here 
like the korean person i saw streamed does pixel art with normal brush
then ofcourse the detail with dot brush later
pixel art is hard ;_; idk how ppl do it
I see
Have fun then
Pixel art isn't too hard
I made some portraits for a mod I was doing a while back
mayb it's the binary brush thing lol
cause if u go dot brush right away, u lost the fluidity cause its very linear and 1 dimensional
nice
Never finished the mod cause I got bored tho
idk if my art is good enough tho 
this is one of the artist works, who does normal brush then dot brush
im copying this style and method
💦
Have fun
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$. ( i live in a 3rd world country, so 200 is like good bucks lol)
Commissions are fun
but if I were to charge, I guess no more than 20$ for pixel art
Invoices make me feel official and powerful
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
That's under selling but I can't tell you how to price your stuff
yeah, im bad at pricing stuff @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
bruh that link is big cute
Protect yourself from unfair charge backs with the ability to refute
gotcha ty for explaining that
ikr !!
It's essentially illegal to pay for goods and services other ways in PayPal
ok I c ty ty 
i pretty much gave up at making pixel portraita
how so?
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
cause by time, if u dont give up, u will get really good.
progress so far
that looks really good tho 
sank kyu
mayb just leave him shirtless
jk jk... unless?
haha
like this 👀 👀 ? @mighty bronze @dull tide
yess leave him shirtless!
yessir

:0 that looks really good
so cool!!
Is this for a mod?
yes
Which mod, haha!
oh, this is going to be for portrait replacement mod (smapi)
I'm doing all npc, so that's going to be awhile 😂 .
Oh, this is vanilla character replacement? 
yes ^^
Coughs what is happening with the hair I wonder
damn, my middle finger hurts from the pen lmao
yes its alex :3 , and thanks
ooo looks really good smookie!
thanks!
i hope you like birds
they taste nice
agreed
cute 
VERY cute birb
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
hard vibes
this is fine
i feel that so much LOL
Hue hue, name the layers will you
layer 26 is down here

layer 12 is my bottom layer and layer 1 is my top layer rn
thamk u
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
i wish i could help but i have never used procreate ):
is there anything in particular you're struggling with?
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
can you make as many layers as you want or are you limited?
That is amazing 
aw thanks!!!
i'm gonna finish it soon, gotta color one more person and then clean up a bit of lines
Ah
omg i love her!!!
AA thank u, i wanna redraw the portraits for all the bachelor(ette)s in my style

hope you like bird women
i really love how you're doing her hair!!
i think ive drawn this same lady at least 5 times over the past 3 days
me who names all my layers
also the piece came out so nice
i only have 7 layer and it's already screwed
damn
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
i name everything
and i lock what im not using
im just too stressed i might do sumn on the wrong layer
forgive me lord for i have sinned
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
damn
thost layers are stressing me out
do you just hide and unhide til you find what you need?
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
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
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
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
why do all of my sketches look good but then when i go to line it it.. does not
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
pain. agony, if you will.
Suffering
then i just undo
cleaning up the sketch is superior
lineart is for losers


bit belated, but like.... if you hate doing lineart, just don't!
you can always just clean up your sketch like Nae suggested, and that way you're not ruining art you'd otherwise like. c:
^^ I never do lineart, and tons of professional artists don’t
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
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:
hey all, i have a friend who is finishing a stardew cake today. do you know of any communities where that kind of thing can be shared?
it's a live stream so i can't do it here
some quick art for schoolwork..
ADORABLE
sorry, i don't ): you could definitely try twitter and tumblr but i don't know of many stardew ones
thats so cute butter
@unkempt tinsel that's what i figured, tyvm!
np np
sibling rivalry
ok nvm lineart is good
cuteee!!
painn
nvm hate lineart again
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.
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
Thats pretty good
Hmmm, Rainbows
a black background would go well
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
trying some new technique and trying to make some breakthroughs..
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i love it
it works well with your style
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 😄
this is my first time doing art of poc... and i am already loving how it's turning out
oh i adore that hair!
I thought about her hair when i was in the showers lol
I gotta keep practicing... so i can win again
yeah its coming out nicely
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
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
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
Or traditional, just tear the paper into pieces, ez
😔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
Really now, I'm happy I have got better in both mediums, no more wasted paper hue
I still enjoy doodling on paper, still my thing, but i have begun to enjoy digital art a lot more
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
trad is messy
ill be exclusively digital til i can afford to do trad and spend hundreds on materials
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
Mom be like: huhhhh sketch book? You wanna do art????? Why not spend your time doing homeworkkkkkk (as if i have homework 24/7😔)
I gotta do art fast like sanic, that way my mom can’t complain me for not doing my schoolwork
Plus I actually do my work with quality it’s just not gonna be 24/7 mommmm
one more coinzzz
Imagine not already completing that lmao smookie loser nerd xd pog
I hate myself for typing that
WOW
I feel... hurt
Mom doesn't believe Ima be able to do commissions and earn money but she prays for that 
lol imagine being able to do comissions
I know I'll be able to do them but idk who would want me art
idk there's probably someone out there
like those people who slather mayonnaise on everything
ima try getting more recognized making fan art and share on media
lol my fanart never gets recognized
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
hey thats me
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
haha i dont really have an audience to present my "art" to
good points
i like your art forsy
if you wanna pay me for art with the right price i never say no 😌
colors down, let's see if I can experiment with the cat's fur heh
lots of people would like your style
i drew in a similar style when i started
also AHHHH
milo

still don't know if I already found a style but I think I can improve it
especially the eyes
dont worry too much about style
as long as you can keep some sort of consistency youre good with comms
Once I get money in my paypal I'm gonna be commissioning alot of small artists because yes
I need room decor
:') so hopefully you guys still have your commissions open by the time i get chaching
I think I’m gonna do what you said sort of but later it on a black background to give a sense of light
decided to sketch 10th Anniversary maki
Trying my hands on Leah. Anyone can help with the eyes? They look weirdly wonky and too close? Are they?? 😩
Is the right eye lower or am i imagining things?
(Don't mind her jawline, I'm working on it haha)
awww leah ♥
i think with the angle the right eye being lower makes sense, maybe try moving the eyes further away from one another?
Should I move the right one or the left one further away? 🤔
hmmm maybe the right one?? (the one that looks "lower")
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 🤔
great
yeah since its a 3/4 ish view the left eye is gonna appear slightly farther back
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
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.
yeah its a good thing to practice
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
Good luck!
i have the basic idea of what i want tho
I always open the SDV wiki for inspiration for some reason.
It helps me having some screenshots of the game etc
oooo looking really good!
Thank you! Now I can tweak it a little more and then either paint or do the lineart. Idk yet. ^^
paint paint paint
join the dark side
please look at this art 😭 https://azu20cf.tumblr.com/post/641642958243905536
it's a gif
i gave her some lipstick... or just trying out how to draw lips the way i realllly wanna do and gave her some pretty blush uwu
ohhh cuute!!!
very adorable!
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
sounds like a fun drawing idea!
Thanks, I’ll probably start tomorrow morning I can’t really be bothered rn, I’ll post when (if) I finish it.
can't wait to see it! 
It will probably take like ages bc I’m very slow
slow gang
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.
By the end of the month I've been doing quite some art and now my brain is zzzzzz, I should take a break
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
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
most of the really good brushes are free
And that
yoooo nice!
for the first time in forever i scrapped a drawing
idk how to feel about it
why'd you scrap it?
it just wasnt turning out how i wanted it to
fair fair
random drawin for fun
and a sebastian doodle out of guilt of not drawing him in ages
hhottt
Anyone wanna join a community art project showcase profile set compilation in a rlly cool way let me know
gosh i love jade's art QAQ
i think this is good enough
hmm..
yesssss gorgeous, love how matchy it is
Hnsnfh
So i realized how difficult it is do directly color lighter colors like white without any lineart, i did some rough gray lineart and color directly on it, and it looks very well
i swear these portraits are the first time in a while ive ever done lineart,,
ahhh shes so pretty forsyth!!!!
oooh nice butter
do you guys get in that mode where you REALLY wanna draw but also don't at the same time
that's me rn
Lol sometimes i dooo, it was this morning i wanna draw so bad but i knew i had to do my work first so I didn’t wanna draww
Omg she is so beautiful, you did an absolutely outstanding job drawing her
I was doing this earlier
oh wow that looks really good!
That's me majority of the time
Horrifying art quandary
i said that an hour ago and i have done absolutely nothing because of this
LOL
like that "god i wanna draw........... eh"
Sometimes I wanna draw so bad
And ik exactly what I wanna draw
But my body is just like "no <3"
^^
@mossy leaf ahhh hi micko!!! wanna draw-
about to make some breakfast, after breakfast sure!
yayay
wh-
Ooo, its sythia
sinks into the floor
nooo, hi hi egg
woah such floor vanishing technique
Ah so this is how the vc started
actually, me and micko were chatting in the dms about it yesterday!
Oh
my lines be going
so fine
then BOOM
Halo
looks good so far!
youre pretty
thanx
yes im living for your new style ❤️
Phant, that's a cool image! wanna tell me bout the character?
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!!
I hope it works out :)
i think this is a lot better
I can't wait to see the finished piece :D I like how you did the hair.
thanks!! his hair is really hard to draw th e way its pixeled so i added more strands
I painted this a while ago but people can’t tell what it is so idk
It’s a face and idk how people don’t see it
i can see the face!!
Ayyyyy let’s go thank you
This one was more clear and I feel I should’ve done it in this style and I’m considering redoing the piece maybe
whoa that's awesome
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?
True true
Not later but like
If it was yellow
Instead of red
Or like what if I did that picture sort of
But blue maybe
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
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
i think blues would look really nice
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
I made a shiny chikorita my favorite starter and I dont know if I did a good job with shading
I want to draw someone but I'm not sure who :/
And I'm wondering if I should try to make it realistic looking or my normal style like this:
i might be biased but id say realistic
Okie I need to work on it more so I think imma try
Might do benedict cumberbatch not sure
Someone with a unique face
So cute
Thx 
@odd tiger DID U DRAW THAT?
that reminds me i need to go work on my drawing
but binging house is a lot more fun
@random kelp Yes
thank you 
i wish it was a character in a tv show i could watch lol
Lol
good job u are really talented
Thank you C:
Any tips for drawing eyes?
uh realistic or anime
for realistic look at real eyes
for anime look at the way other anime artists draw eyes
@hard wind
you're likely symbol drawing
Thanks.
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
Yeah studying face is ass I can’t do it at all
Yeah I used to be able to draw very realistically when I was younger... I don't know what happened
Like I got notes on all the facial features individually
But I can’t do it all together
Eyes are a pain in the butt for me
notes arent really important so much as doing studies is
take reference images off of google and practice breaking them down into basic shapes
Eyes are the easiest for me when they’re by themselves
Same
as fast as you can without thinking about details
Thats good advice
then once you have that basic form down you can start paying attention to details and lighting and such
Those are awesome dude
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
Alright good luck man
Update:
nice job so far
I'm fearing doing the lips
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
Thank you
That gives me an idea actually, thank you
No problem man
That reminds me, I have to do studies too oof
think of the hair in sections
look at your reference and pick out the most visible ones
you can red line the reference to help upi
Victorian style painting is ass
Or doing it at least is
It looks beautiful
But damn I hate painting
@lament turtle ahh hi! I saw that you were using ibis paint, and was wondering what brushes do you use for the sketches?
i was using dip pen (bleed)
and my force fade is on

:3
progress
now its time to sleep
Beautiful!!
i came up with an idea, that im going to finish LMAO
wip of odst
Funny thing is that I never drew SDV fan art
might try
Nice sketch
I’ve only drawn a few Sdv fanart
I've done recently but for my farmer, though expect me to do some for Leah, Alex, Seb and Sam too hah
Maybe like a group pic or something for the boys
For Leah I have other plans
last day, just in time!!!

i used to read her web comic
henloo
Oh me too
hi
i did my first pixel art piece, but need help with they arm, anyone got sum suggestions
sailor moon redraw~
god damn that is good
Hewoo BG
LOL
you're welcome. i also use 2 custom brushes. i can send the brush if you want
omg rlly?? THANK U SO MUCH MIKU

These are annakumo's brushes on ig
you should probably use the lasso tool
and straighten up the sketch
@lament turtle thank u so much!!!!!

I need to sleep.

not a big fan of the art style but ill check it out
Ohhh I like how she renders it
Yeah, I wanna learn doing that too
kuroyaku x melody/kuromi wip
kuroo looks amazing ahhhh

summore of bad art
SGHdfjrngtdn WAH KUROYAKU
Anyone here watch aot?
Maybe if i rewatch the latest episode enough times, the outcome of you-know-what will miraculously change


I mean if I didn't watch thaaaat episode it ||wouldn't happen right? She's still alive right? :DD||
Ah the deceit i must go through in order to be happy
Cringe
why must you do this isayama
putting this here since it is but a simple sketchy comic 
I love my husband but he is kind of a child some times
lol elliott is a fucking mood
Yeah, but I'm only caught up to episode 4 on the new season
I haven't had time to catch up 😔
What would you do if there was a child right in front of you?
Elliott but it's haley literally the day after we got married because i didnt gift her and her hearts stayed at 10 so she was mad stfu haley
Hearts at 10, meaning bouquet was given
Well I mean I think I'm sympathetic to Haley.
I give Elliott something every day, either it being a shell or a duck feather
he is very dramatic-
both times I've stayed up very late he has gotten mad at me LOL
but i can't really take him seriously, he is such a drama queen
if he tells me to not go to the mines because it worries him I'll literally stay all day in there-
Himiko be throwing cards

you hope the mods like your sdv art enough to pin it
Ah cool
I see
Debating whether or not I should continue on my sherlock drawing or draw something on my computer with my tablet
Do both
Okie 
Not true ^^ they pin anything as long as it’s sdv related in #creative
Oh
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
Practice makes perfect so do some references and take it easy :]
@odd tiger
@tropic halo Thanks man
i tried to make her look more ladylike
Cute! 
Me like!
It looks great!
With feet changing position in the pixel art I just imagine her doing an extremely fast tip toe dance
My brain is tired
You have a great mind
Do you mind if I take a look? ✂️
Only for scientific reasons
Oh, of course...
Uh, y-you can have it back... I’ll find another donor...
I’m sure someone else would be more than glad to have your amazing specimen
@velvet sun is there a magical way to add a secret animation for the character doing extremely fast tip toe dance when you press a button 
lol no
Everything is one large shame 😔
Shame
even if this might be a joke, let's not say this 😓 i don't want people to take it seriously. we pin everything that we think is sdv related. if we miss something then you can let us know
pls no ban
fat fox wip
cuuute!
thank T^T I am so jazzed to finally have pixel art tools for clip studio. I wish I had started spriting years ago
this took me 3 fucking hours i hate this
both
I think I may have an idea for the wings if that's the trouble, if you don't mind editing?
iirc you said you don't mind it but I wna make sure
im mad about the head not the wings
using sam was a mistake because you can't really tell where the top of his head was
I shouldve just used harvey
ahh, I see
i used sam because he had funky arms but his hair is so hard to work around,,, 😠
[WIP] So I made a Picrew and actually loved the pose so much I needed to draw my Farmer in my own style. Like how the sketch turned out so far.
This is one of those "Farmer saw Penny, Is In Love" kinda things lol
In order of development since yesterday 🙂
Thomas has gone through some changes since hehe
Might raise the buffers a little bit
but overall, just needs some final adjustments to the face and polishing
Oh wow they look really good frog!
Ooo these are turning out real neat! 👀 
Really? Thank you!

okay more fox process
actually? does this look better with more intense orange?
I personally prefer the first one, but i feel the colours around it make a difference.
You might want to try making a natural blending outline instead of it just being black?
//takes notes
more like this?
I also have Flux on wich is skewing my color choices hmmm hmm
It's looking amazing 
tysm T^T I'm so excited. I'm trying to decide if I want to do a deer next but idk if you can do better than the emmie deers.
I'd love deer!
I Actually live near a park with deer that can roam the whole park, so I've seen a lot of deer.
I live in the city now and I miss deer so much
The park is actually in the city
probably the only wildlife i see more in the city than the countryside
me neither. he is nocturnal. All I get to see are his works.
he likes to pile up sticks near the path. nothing hte beaver does makes sense but we support him.
well guess I'm starting some deers
I'm on the road and with nothing to do, so I colored my drawing, still adding the lighting and shadows
Picrews almost never have my hair color lol
Its mix of brown light and blond
they usually have really blonde or straight up dark brown
Its okay tho I just pick the brown one 
Random but cool
I guess I am not sleeping tonight
how do deer keep being alive when they are shaped like this? //gestures
sketch of Nyx
she is the night! She's dreamy!
oh I wanted to use the moon emoji but it just looks like a smiley face. oops
it really does
unfortunate. What a great sketch though I love the detail on the eyes
thank youu
i tried sketching some other characters, only had luck with the women though because I'm more used to drawing women than men
I do Zagreus dirty
Meg & Aphrodite as well
oh! Megara looks so unimpressed, you nailed the expression for her
Anyone have delay lag at end of stroke in Clip studio paint and know how to fix it ? I am in need of help 😂
Is it perhaps a tablet problem? I get that too but I use other drawing programs.
Its kind of related to creative since picrew is based on artists making games with their own unique styles
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.
Thomas the thermonuclear bomb when
oh well, it didn't actually solve it but the delay decrease
better than nothing 😂
thanks
guess i can finally get back to drawing cute girls
Sometimes csp will stop registering my pen pressure
At that point I just restart the program
You can try turning down the stabilizer for the crush you're using
yeah for me i draw with my finger and sometimes it just. stops working and it's really annoying'
csp with finger?

that looks good!
Omg cutee
adorable
I never ended up drawing anything yesterday lol
Same
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?
Could you use a whiteout marker?
@marble storm I was thinking about using one but idk how well alcohol markers would work on top of it
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
Ooo it looks really cool! Love saxophones.
Yeah, it looks incredible
Good evening folks. I'm looking to commission someone to do some character portraits for me. I am...not artistic enough for that. They are animals. Please message me if interested. blush
Im fucked
That was...supposed to be an emoticon.
your comm request is just going to be buried, you might be better off dming people with comms open in their name
Bummer, I was kinda going to piggyback on that request... I need sprites/portraits for one thing made but it's not super urgent
What medium is that? Of it's paint, you may be able to apply a sheet of tissue paper over top and blend it with the section edges.
@humble sundial it’s alcohol and I ripped up the surface of the paper
Ah, I'm not sure about that one.
I'm so bad at this...
oof nagbut, i think it looks great anyways. maybe you can cut a piece in that shape and try to lay it on top really flat to cover it up?
Does anyone have recommendations among those who have their comms open though? Just so I don't have to mine the whole list of yellow names...
i would apply if i did animals
Hahaha, I was just about to message you.
...Are humans fine though?
I might inquire with you
you can look at what people have done to see their art by searching their name and has:image
yeah i do humans
Thank you.
Maybe
the struggles of traditional art that i have no patience to deal with
GOD DAMNIT I HAVE A MANDATORY ART CLASS AND NEED TO DO A SELF PORTRAIT IM GONNA CRY
AND ITS REALISM
Im going to cry i cant draw realistic for shit
ohno
I wish you much luck! 
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
same
if i wanted to capture something exactly as it is i would just take a picture
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
about to test these deers pray for my walk cycles
be not afraid mortal, glitch stag is here.
Ah
can't agree with this more!
It's more or less finished now. But still missed something, any tips?
your features are very uneven
one ear is smaller than the next and same for the legs
It was a try for some perspective, but I did give up in the end sooooooo....
even if its perspective
why is the ear to us smaller?
another thing is that you have a lot of empty unused space
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
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.
same thing
you know what im referring to
this was certainly my bad....In the next one I'll pay more attention
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
Hummm, that's something new, I have too much to learn 
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.
yeah
i recommend never using straight white unless its for harsh highlights
I'm not sure? when I did it I never submitted anything with a signature but also that was 6 years ago, so idk if things have changed
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
Thanks for the tips 
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
@lament turtle here is an example of a piece with varying line weights
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
looks fine to me
More specifically in the bottom right corner
Ohhhh, that's something. I'm not much used to this, I'll improve :)

been quite a while I didn't hop in this channe;
by the way ghost, I assume you're drawing with mouse?
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
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?
phone eh
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?
A lot of cheap styluses don’t even have line weights as an option.
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
if he is using ibis paint
then its not a bad app
ik a lot of people that use ibis full time
of course ibis won't make that kind of lines
@lament turtle do you use ibis paint?
what I've been wondering is, what if they are using some kind of built in app
iirc thats what he uses
but im not too sure
built in drawing app are usually sucks for line weights, basically just like MS paint
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
Yes
Again, it’s probably their stylus... a lot of cheap ones don’t support line weights at all
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
well heck, it might be your stylus or your phone now
ibis
you can go in and create the lineweight if you dont have pen pressure
lack of skill cannot generate constant, blocky lines like that lol
technical issue can be the problem
ah right, brush shape could be the issue as well
I'm with mixed feelings... My stylus is not cheap for my currency, but sure isn't professional...
So, what should I do then? I'm using the default brush of the application
