#

26 MB file . . .

blissful sonnet
#

nice!!

#

i havent done like a background

#

besides the bathroom one lol

echo mesa
#

. . . I stand corrected, 36

#

I love backgrounds

blissful sonnet
#

any tips for the backgrounds?

echo mesa
#

use lots of references images
perspective sucks but you probably wont die
overlays are your best friend for making sure the colours of the character and background kinda mesh together a lil more

blissful sonnet
#

gotcha!!

echo mesa
#

I got most of my background practice just by taking minecraft screenshots and drawing em more 'realistic' lol
its good for practicing the shapes of landscapes

blissful sonnet
#

minecraft is very help lmao

echo mesa
#

my minecraft comic is All Scenery
means plenty of practice SweatyBlob
also smetimes I take pictures irl and draw em

blissful sonnet
#

ooo

#

i should try doing that

#

my place is pretty foresty

#

also i have animals (baby chicks and chickens)

echo mesa
#

always good to practice trees - they have such cool textures and shapes

blissful sonnet
echo mesa
#

good excuse to get out and take some pictures and draw em then lol
I think I've gotten mildly decent at drawing trees

blissful sonnet
#

true ture

#

but like, mine looks weird? i dont know why but when i used to draw everything looked horrible in my eye

#

it made me discouraged from drawing ahh

#

good thing its in the past, though i do experience it sometimes

echo mesa
#

yeah, I get that smetimes too
the, "everything I'm drawing sucks, I suck, this is frustrating, I cannot draw" mood

royal gyro
#

tbh bob also says... you should always be unhappy with your work. at least a little bit. otherwise why would you continue? you'd just be like welp that's good, i'm done.

#

some of my bob ross style (but in acrylics) paintings of varying mehness to me. some is mush, some is okay.

echo mesa
#

i rly love how you do the skies
im a lil jealous - i find acrylic paint so annoying to work with lol

royal gyro
#

also i am a fan of this comic (from What The Duck, Aaron Johnson

blissful sonnet
#

i should rlly finish swatching out my art supplies

#

so annoying seeing that i saved up money from comms to buy this one

sad 😔✋

#

I mean, did you buy a prebuilt or did you build it yourself? By the sounds of it, it seems like you got a prebuilt

#

I was gonna say, it might just be one of the parts that was acting funky and you could replace that instead of the entire pc, but idk if you have experience with computers like that 🏃

nope
i dont

got it prebuilt

Ok so I've learned some good things today that I should have known from the time I was a beginner, for now I will allow more time to practice, more basic sketches, no details or colors unless I know what I'm going for

In the end I had to downgrade my CSP to 1.10.6 again, 1.10.10 broke a lot of stuff and didn't display a lot of the functions (e.g. auto action, export brushes, import brushes, layer properties and a lot more).... Guess I'm stuck with 10.6 for now 😐

I've been meaning to ask..but does anyone know the developer's stance on fan made merchandise?

marble mantle
#

do you mean selling merch that has fanart?

frigid halo
marble mantle
#

some peeps have copyrighted characters

#

like nintendo

#

so you'll have to be careful

#

i dont really know the specifics

echo mesa
#

CA did respond to someoneone on tumblr about that
I'll go grab the response

frigid halo
echo mesa
#

ofc this is Just about Stardew Valley

marble mantle
#

yeah
some brands like
undertale and sdv ive seen lots of merch of

#

but you cant try that stuff with nintendo
big brands like that will ruin you

frigid halo
#

lol Nintendo I don't bother with cause I know how stingy they really are about their stuff yet I see hella stuff of Smash Bros and Zelda and the like being sold everywhere online and artist allies > >

frigid halo
marble mantle
#

just gotta reach up on their copyright stuff ig

#

cause even tho you create the art they still own the intellectual property

gloomy turtle
#

yup, nintendo is really big about intellectual property

#

I've had 3 pokemon pieces taken down

ironically my best selling piece is a pokemon one and they haven't taken that down yet

frigid halo

#

well, I mean I was selling them for profit, so it makes sense

#

Hii I need help with colors not totally help, more like tips like shading, combinations, and other things related with colors

exotic snow
manic stratus
#

Uhm with shadings

#

Like when making shadows

#

And details

exotic snow
#

Do you use a "square" colour wheel or a triangular one?

#

Bc for me, the colours of shadows goes in a certain direction every time

manic stratus
#

I used the circle?

#

Im sorry I dont really get what you mean

exotic snow
#

I meant this

exotic snow
#

Watch some Angel Ganev videos, I couldn't explain it better myself

manic stratus
#

Thank youu so much @exotic snow

exotic snow
#

Every time you go darker, you shift one position from 1-3

#

and hue shift closer to purple

#

(a little closer - but it depends on your artstyle)

#

and don't shade with black unless you're going for a comic-like style

exotic snow
# manic stratus And details

Details and texturing comes later and you ideally should lay out most of your drawing before you start working on the details

#

Start big, work down to the small parts

manic stratus
#

And its very horrible

exotic snow
#

Oh actually, can I see some of your work? Maybe then I'll have an idea

manic stratus
#

I actually did just cover it lightly with black

exotic snow
#

What's your goal? Which artists do you like? Bc i might just lead you towards their artstyle

manic stratus
#

So the result instead of having shadow it turns out like that

manic stratus
exotic snow
#

Hmm

#

I would suggest working your shadows with increasing depth

manic stratus
#

Like using the same color just decrease the brightness?

gloomy turtle
#

Ideally, you want to change the hue of your color as you go for lighter or darker tones

mighty bronze
#

I do hope you used that just as practice because I'd recognize Jev's artwork everywhere

echo mesa
#

i was thinking it reminded me of smething! I should have recognized it

#

did you send this to bouncer? usually that is recommended over calling em out

exotic snow
#

oop- art theft

That is awesome! Well done!

manic stratus
#

I just make it as a reference for shadow

#

I am sorry huhu

#

I deleted it sorry again

exotic snow
#

On using the airbrush, I do it slightly with a BIG brush size so that it creates a gradient instead of... uh.. shadow.

manic stratus
#

Oki I will try it and I will let you check if my shadowing is okaySDVpufferheart

exotic snow
#

sorry im not good with words

Yep ofc!

I try to prevent my style looking like other peoples. It took me a while to build up what I can do today and it's still ever evolving (every 2 years).

#

and when I mean evolving I mean like, it's changing at a rapid rate so much that the styles and improvements have went so off course from each other it's hard to tell that if I drew them 10 years ago or 2 years ago.

I think my change in medium too, using a computer art tablet over an iPad, has something to do with it as well...

#

speaking about mediums...

#

and art..

#

and art development......

my 4th year in ArtFight is coming up- I know I shouldn't be this excited but I am-!! One more year until I can celebrate a 5 year anniversary in this!! ;v;

It does actually, if you are actively analyzing your own works to see flaws, you brain will react next time you draw something similar

Yeah I try to find at least one flaw every time

This one was just very easy to do it with and made me somewhat mad

I didn't have any serious sketchbook

I have ten sketchbooks. Scribbled 3 pages in each and never looked at them again 🥰

Mostly just on my iPad tbh.

Ah actually I remember buying 3 but they were cheaper

Don't buy cheap books bro. The paper fails on you fast.

Pandemic just makes me draw less

That's one artwork, see you next month.

I mean my exams have been indefinitely postponed. If I start something I'm not going to stop.

I'll get serious after my exams are over cause then I'll have a clearer mind 🥱

Anyways if your portfolio for college or a job?

mighty bronze
#

Nah, hobby for now

I'm gonna have to start making a portfolio after my exams for undergrad.

It's good to have one and after time looking in it and see the improvement from the start to the last sketch

I'm probably about to make my first. Might have to pursue a foundation diploma first tho cause I'm an international student. That'll help me.

Oh, and speaking of getting bored, if that happens I try to remember the goals I planned: making commissions, creating OC and making a webcomic, if I won't archieve some of them I want to at least die trying

the customer doesn't have debris card

viral mango

Oof

exotic snow

debris

viral mango
#

Ofc they didn't

#

This is why 50% upfront.

#

I do it like

#

After revising a sketch with them, they pay 50%.

#

After sketch, the rest.

exotic snow
#

I do mine 100% upfront

glacial fox
#

well the person was a friend of mine

exotic snow
#

then no refunds after sketching stage

viral mango
#

Most of my peeps are nice people and pay full upfront which is actually really nice. Then they tip later SDVpufferwow

exotic snow
#

Yeah that's nice and all but I have trust issues sksksk

viral mango
glacial fox
#

for me, i will do the sketch first, if they are happy with it then i take full payment, then work on it

exotic snow
frigid halo
#

It also depends on how big and detailed the commission is. I usually ask 50% if it’s something like a big illustration with scenes and everything.

viral mango
#

I let them choose whether they'll pay full upfront or 50/50. Most pay upfront. ❤️

#

I don't think I've had any bad clients before. Have you guys?

exotic snow
#

Not yet

glacial fox
#

i only did comm once so nope

frigid halo
#

Something like icon, sketches or busts are reasonable so usually the commissioner pays upfront , at least in my experience.

frigid halo
viral mango
#

I did come across people asking for free art and for exposure tho. But shutting them down is easy 🥱

mighty bronze
#

Most of the commissions I paid for were full price before starting to work on it because I knew the person wouldn't disappoint me, I remember I paid some of them after they finished it just because they wanted it to be like this which was interesting

There was this epic friend who was the first to comm and tip me and did it twice. I really wanna comm them 😢

I’m trying to work on a graphic design portfolio atm

Tbh if you have enough art friends, your comms post gets a good amount of exposure.

I may do some small stuff like icons or busts sketches maybe ? Since I’ve been drawing more lately

exotic snow

nah I'm still just a small instagram acc

I’m just paranoid my stuff is becoming stale...

My method to growth ---> art friends with same follower range. Because we're likely support each other more

If I post art now, I can guarantee that 10 people will repost whether it's good or bad.

I don't do furries though

I’d say stand your ground and be firm that you should have a set of rules but also be politely about it. For me , I haven’t exactly been nice about that sort of thing but I’m working on trying to be more approachable. However I refuse to undervalue myself.

lord it’s almost 3 here

#

Whenever a client has questions or asks you to lower stuff, I claim that as a yellow flag.

#

Because they might actually commission you, but now you're sus if they'll actually pay you to hold for a long time.

blissful sonnet
#

i think if a client has questions ill try and answer to my best of my ability, cause if they dont like my art ive already spent so much time on it ;w;

viral mango
#

Or be like 'im sorry I don't have the full amount' last minute.

#

That's why an important rule is ONLY COMMISSION WITH MONEY YOU ALREADY HAVE

blissful sonnet
#

what i learned from nae is, always accept full amount before doing anything

blissful sonnet
#

u can always refund if they dont like it nod

frigid halo
#

Usually about 95% of the commissioner pays upfront

okay but like, nae whacks me because i havent been following what she taught me sad

I will dig into comms servers and make my own website but honestly... I have a lot to improve on

I want to have the confidence that my art is at least worth buying because I worked hard for it

yeah
i dont recommend jumping into comms if you dont have that confidence yet
cause no one is gonna want to pay for something that the artist themselves doesnt even like much

I could try but I have made my mind that I will practice and get a "base understanding of everything"

just draw whatever random shape you want

then add stuff like the upper and lower eyelid

waterline
lashes

then you have an eye
you can really just use any shape
