Yeah I was using a palette as well I got the tubes after my cool colors ran out -3-

solid stag May 18, 2021, 2:44 PM

#

theres programs that do paint physics, but theyre really expensive

indigo sequoia May 18, 2021, 2:44 PM

But tbh I like tubes better already they provide better intensity and are easier to use

#

I need some advice SDVpufferwoke

#

I have decided that I want to start profiting from my art probably by selling it online after i get the things necessary together

#

Which would probably be very hard considering I really dislike social media

#

But you gotta do what you gotta do

#

Do you guys think I should focus on instagram (I don’t like, it’s starting to give off Facebook vibes too 😐) or tik tok (which I don’t like either and have no experience in but seems to be easier for gaining audience)

you can always consider twitter

Twitter

#

I never used Twitter before

But good idea

twitter is a hellscape though, be really careful what you post

Ah I’m not concerned content wise the things I do aren’t related to anything controversial but thanks for the warning

solid stag May 18, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

twitter is like 2014 tumblr tbh, if you want more reach i suggest tumblr though

#

its calmed down a lot since the ban

indigo sequoia May 18, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

Also tbh I don’t really like the idea of commissions and I don’t know how well I could make educational videos my vocab wack and brain empty sometimes

#

I just like creating whatever art I want and put it out there for whoever interested

solid stag May 18, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

ive gotten over 100 notes on one off posts, you can get pretty good reach if those posts are consistent

indigo sequoia May 18, 2021, 4:07 PM

#

But I think that’s the longest way to profiting since it would take a while for enough people to find me and actually get interested in my personal art pieces

solid stag May 18, 2021, 4:07 PM

tumblr is good for that

#

i think i get the most attention from art-specific groups on facebook, sometimes posts on instagram and sub-reddits.

#

i also sell via etsy but im not sure if any sales came from any sort of etsy searchings so far.

#

weirdly my etsy stats says 65% of my traffic to my shop is direct and "other", rather than from social media or etsy. only 18% is from etsy itself.

kindred scaffold May 18, 2021, 4:23 PM

Tumblr can let you filter tags, which is really nice. I was more sites did that. (Even though things can still slip through the cracks.)

Clip Studio Paint is a digital art program built from the ground up for digital artists. It also has two features that are super nice: Vector layers and Reference layers, which I'll show you how to use.

ah yeah ik

#

im not looking for super clean lineart hto

#

just cleaner than the sketch

exotic snow May 18, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

i do 90% of my lineart with vector layers, the only flaw i would say is when you erase your lines and the ends of the lines gets 'autocorrected'

marble mantle May 18, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

vector layers would end up being more of a pain

#

ive tested them out before

solid stag May 18, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

you can rasterize them

so yeah, now i do lineart on just normal layers

marble mantle May 18, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

ik you can rasterize

but like

i just find them more annoying than anything

i can see how itll be useful if youre going for super clean crispy lineart

exotic snow May 18, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

marble mantle vector layers would end up being more of a pain

yeah i felt that

#

vector layer lineart would be useful for e.g. animation etc. though

solid stag May 18, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

i found that using the transparent version of the brush youre using for lineart is good for correcting the ends

ive seen ultra clean lineart, most artists who have "grit" have clean lines. clean lines dont mean smooth lines

#

at least the ones youre talking about

exotic snow May 18, 2021, 5:46 PM

imo for your piece to look good you need clean lines anyway

the amount of texturing however you can vary

but then halfway through the sketch i forget that i was planning to use a colour and i just get lazy

solid stag May 18, 2021, 6:41 PM

i sketch very quickly

those are my fleshed out sketches, ready for lineart

i dont get super attached to my sketch anymore because i do it so quickly, i flesh out the drawing during lineart rather than before

ripe compass Does anyone have some tips on having **CRISP** clean lineart that doesn’t look s...

stiff? example

#

i just had a really cool idea for an art piece: a computer tower that uses living tissue and organs to function and it has a cutaway that shows the inside of the computer tower

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

I mean, I like thick, cartoony, expressive lines. Other people like something very thin and "this was done with a superfine inking pen and scaled down" vibe, and the tips given for these two would literally conflict terribly

#

So what does 'stiff' look like, and what's the vibe you're going for?

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

oh yeah, traditional art exists too

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:33 PM

I don’t have any visual examples but when I try to overline my sketch it always ends up completely different from what it looked like before.

Probably like, the variability of the lineweight that the brush you're using gives?

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

the movement of the lines is nice, but the crisp quality youre looking for comes from high resolution images. whats your canvas size typically?

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

I'd suggest looking at Hej!Stylus to help with brushstroke stabilization, seeing as you're using a mac

Thanks :D

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:39 PM

also, youre using firealpaca, which has a stabilizer/smoothing function and that greatly helps with line control

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:39 PM

Let me check canvas size real quick

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:40 PM

i dont use mac so idk anything about programs but i do know that firealpaca already has a built in stabilizer

leslielu marie uses a mac in her early videos of firealpaca

#

do you use a mouse?

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

If you want more control over how your lines feel, I'd also switch from the kinda brush you're using which has a built in texture, and go for one that's more or less just a regular round/oval brush

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

some round brushes will leave artifacts like that if the lines arent confident

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

solid stag do you use a mouse?

No I use a tablet that doesn’t have a screen it’s just the tablet, and my usual size is 1600 by 1200

ah, thats a really low resolution

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:42 PM

#

What would be a better one?

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:42 PM

#

solid stag some round brushes will leave artifacts like that if the lines arent confident

True, but learning to use the round brush confidently also like, helps teach you how to use all linetypes more confidently

#

if you like low res/small images meant only to be seen on a computer screen, you might wanna consider a chunkier line and varying your lineweight

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

also using a round brush gives you those sort of textured lines that dont look as crisp as the look you might be going for

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

in a place where you'd have more shadow, or where there's a big difference in foreground/background where things overlap, the line can be thicker, etc.

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

When do I know when to vary my line weight?

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

it comes with practice

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

you can also overdraw your lines, making them thicker, then use the eraser to thin them out manually

#

here's a simple example of varying lineweights with a low res image and chunky lines

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:44 PM

#

^^ dont be afraid to use the eraser tool, this isnt like traditional art where you make a line and its done

to get the really shap edges, I have to overdraw and then erase for the sharp points

Yeah, the brown one was aliased

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:45 PM

So over draw and then use the eraser to have sharper lines?

You could experiment to see if it works for you!

Also like, for fiddly/small linework like jewelry pieces, you can like

heres just some lines i did

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:46 PM

use a thick line and then erase the inside where the string would be

I see what you guys are talking about when it comes to line weight

Ok this makes some sense :D

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

you can also experiment with lines too

ripe compass May 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

With the weight of the lines or how I draw them?

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

this one I tried something completely different than usual, and used a super small brush and sketched the lines, putting shading into the linework itself

solid stag May 18, 2021, 9:47 PM

#

this was made using a uniform brush, i erased all of the sharp edges by hand

#

ive been doing digital art for a long time, youll get better as you go on

#

it took me a while to learn how to do linework like this

south matrix May 18, 2021, 9:49 PM

#

Also if you like the dreamy feel that a sketch has, and crisp lines don't work for you, you can lower the opacity of your brush and redraw the line several times, then erase the stray lines like if you were sketching with pencil

https://lazynezumi.com

Lazy Nezumi Pro - Mouse and Pen Smoothing for PhotoShop and other Apps

Lazy Nezumi Pro is a Windows app that helps you draw smooth, beautiful lines with your mouse or pen tablet. It works with Photoshop and many other art programs!

#

but besides that god tier program
from what ive seen
best way to get not stiff looking lineart is to make sure your sketch itself is nice and loose because as you refine a work itll start to stiffen up

#

line weight variation and deep shadows can help alot as well

indigo sequoia May 19, 2021, 8:25 AM

#

Try more variety in the line weight

#

It wouldn’t look as flat

#

#

Simple example

#

Generally you want heavier lines in places where there’s more shadow or you want a part of something to be more pronounced than the rest

#

Like the edge of the jaw and chin

the devs dont get to update it much cause people pirate the program a lot more than they buy it

its a lot easier to steal the program than to get it legally cause the official website for sai is jsut old and crusty

some for the bachelors:

alex: def muscular and athletic, a bit more toned but not super super muscular like a competetive bodybuilder is. slightly below average height
sam: skinny and tall, legs are a bit more muscular than his arms or torso. overall pretty average
sebastian: average all around, with a rounder face than sam. super pale with heavy dark circles under his eyes since the whole "i live in the basement and dont see the light of day very often". wide mouth like a frog because i thinks its funny
elliott: fucking TALL. the size of this lad. unit. might have some crows feet but his skin is flawless, with the exception of his hands which are a bit calloused. might be a bit chubby
harvey: soft. very soft. i see him as the oldest of the bachelors, so he might have smile lines and forehead wrinkles but not much else. probably has a dad body, his stomach prodrudes a bit but other than that hes fairly average. hes around elliotts height, a bit shorter though
shane: beer belly. thats a must have. really hairy. thick chest and arm hair. shortest of the bachelors imo, his anger is compacted

vague marlin May 19, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

Do you draw horns often or? Is it mostly just human beings with no like, animal-like features?

#

Because if you only draw humans with no animal-like features or you haven’t drawn horns often, drawing the horns might be good practice for future reference in case you need to do them again for a commission or somethin’

#

It’s ultimately up to the artist though

#

I know you do a lot of humans as I’m a lurker so I’m not concerned about your ability in that area

#

if you have a tablet, i recommend drawing longer lines rather than connecting short lines together, it keeps your work cleaner and smoother

marble mantle May 20, 2021, 11:32 PM

#

what butter said
long confident strokes >> messy hairy lines

#

and i recommended using a reference for the face yours doing

#

itll help with keeping proportions in check
even if you dont follow it exactly

#

one good way to get proper face proportions is to focus on the planes of the head

#

making sure they all line up can help fix a wonky face

warm finch May 20, 2021, 11:35 PM

#

A common misconception that good/pro artists don’t use references at all and know proportions and anatomy by heart

marble mantle May 20, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

pro artists just dont rely on it as much as we would need to because
theyve been doing this for years
their visual library is massive

#

but even then
they still take pics of their own hands and poses

#

so refs are always good

warm finch May 20, 2021, 11:38 PM

#

Yea

#

They still use them, just not as often

#

So moral of the story, using references is good

marble mantle May 20, 2021, 11:39 PM

#

yes

#

it helps

#

a lot

#

even when youre stylizing

getting refs can help with the position of stuff
and the shapes youd need to exaggerate

Some of those tutorials out there were made by people that don't entirely know what they're doing themselves and have misinformation or mistakes, you know the deal.
