my only two brushes i ever use 😭 watercolour and pencil brush

marble mantle
#

the brushes i use the most

spiral gale
#

i still dont have csp

#

whats color mixing

marble mantle
#

sai doesnt have colour mixing?
im sure it does cause i painted on sai for a while

#

i think its called blending or something

spiral gale
#

m not rlly sure what to use though

marble mantle
#

i think the water colour brush on sai has colour mixing on it

#

same with the marker

#

you can just google sai painting brush settings

balmy venture
#

sai's blending isnt the best but it does have it

#

i wouldnt recommend sai for doing full-on painterly stuff though, its brushes are too weak

#

youre going to want something more in depth

exotic snow
#

i just got the kyle's megapack brushes and-

look at that scrollbar

marble mantle
#

so you really just have to know what youre doing

marble mantle
#

i havent imported them yet tbh
dont know if i ever will
since im content with the few i have

#

I need to design a commission sheet actually I just don’t know how SDVsadcat2

marble mantle
#

lmao yall have comm sheets?

#

just be like me and amke a website

#

only losers use comm sheets

cosmic oasis
#

Ahdjksjwkdjdle website?!

#

blows up

marble mantle
#

ngl
the website was a lot easier for me to make than a comm sheet

#

i have more room to add stuff so im not stuck to a tiny image

exotic snow
#

and u can edit sites easier

marble mantle
#

^^

#

i have a comm sheet somwhere

#

i dont use it much tho

#

i thought an exhibit i went to go see was no photos so i did a rapid drawing of a dragon skull and it sort of came out okay. then i realised it was only certain things had the no photo sign next to them soooo no more drawings

stiff bolt
#

i need someone handy with sprite to help me and in return i will do a music mod for you.
dm me

marble mantle
#

finally added some colour
time to render

royal gyro
# marble mantle thats a pog skull

ty i was kinda impressed with it considering i was standing there holding small notebook in one hand trying to do it as quick as possible. it's some dragon skull from harry potter or something (not my fandom personally but i like animals so went to exhibit anyway)

cosmic oasis
marble mantle
#

watch me take 50 years to finish rendering a single eye

cosmic oasis
#

I’ll still wait

marble mantle
#

im gonna be doing a lot of experimenting with this piece

cosmic oasis
#

:O

#

Intriguing

marble mantle
#

adding colours made me see so many of the shitty mistakes
like her hairline and the position of the flower

#

i think im going insane

remote wedge
mighty bronze
#

I'm... scared

frigid halo
#

color is real friggan challenging for me too...

fossil helm
marble mantle
#

not even close to being done with rendering but this looks so pretty i want to cry

fossil helm
#

That looks very swag I gotta admit

marble mantle
#

highlights can do a lot for a piece

fossil helm
#

I should probably start actually using them then lmao

#

I don't ever add highlights πŸƒ

marble mantle
#

start

#

theyre fun

#

just dont use too much

fossil helm
#

yeah that makes sense

#

But I will start using them now πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘Œ

marble mantle
#

hell yeah

#

i didnt use them much either
didnt even think about light source

#

you know
Im gonna make this a timelapse
just gonna let it start from where i am now

fossil helm
#

nice nice

marble mantle
#

i keep forgetting to start when i start my work

fossil helm
marble mantle
#

when i "shaded" in the past it was just me adding a purple multiple layer on top in random places

fossil helm
#

damn

marble mantle
#

i still have speedpaints of me doing that up on my youtube

fossil helm
#

πŸ‘€

#

Like,, I had a basic idea of where the light source was coming from in this piece, kind of? Idk

#

But highlights are nowhere to be found πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ

#

Except a few squiggly lines in the water ig but not really lolol

marble mantle
#

high lights would really help that piece pop

#

especially in the water

#

and on the metal [im assuming] bits of that person's pants

fossil helm
#

Yeah it's metal

Netherite from minecraft to be specific

marble mantle
#

speaking of
i need to actually play minecraft one of these days
i bought it but i just never touched it

fossil helm
#

I play it too much for my own good

#

7 hours a day gone to playing on an smp I'm on πŸ˜”

marble mantle
fossil helm
#

Now I won't laugh,, but I will comment on how much you've improved since then

like holy shit you've improved so much

marble mantle
#

thank you

#

ngl
my lineart back then was kinda sexy

#

wtf happened
i cant draw a straight line to save my life

fossil helm
#

I also can't draw a straight line

it's a struggle

#

I still refuse a stabilizer though, so like

marble mantle
#

i dont use stabilizers now a days either

#

but damn
this video takes me back

fossil helm
#

I don't like how restricted my movement is with them hh

marble mantle
#

im literally struggling so hard with the hair its making me nauseous

marble mantle
fossil helm
#

yeah I agree with the heaviness thing

marble mantle
#

its the main reason i didnt switch to csp earlier
i like how loose sai's stabilizers felt and i was super into lineart and cartoony styles

#

it wasnt until i said
fuck lineart
that i switched to csp full time

fossil helm
#

csp is very poggers as a software I gotta admit SDVpuffershy

#

I've only used ibis paint, gimp, Ms paint, csp, and krita as primary drawing programs and I like csp the best out of all of those

marble mantle
#

i think ive used almost all the free programs atleat once
but i used firealpaca sai and csp the most

#

i can never look back tho
csp has my whole heart

fossil helm
#

csp my beloved <3

Hello! I just found this server and I'm fleshing out an idea for a SDV fangame I'm thinking of making in Unity. Is this the right channel to discuss it? I looked through the pins like it says but they only mention art and writing, nothing about fangames.

marble mantle
#

i think here should be ok

#

its creative content youre making afterall

rare bronze
#

Okay just wanted to make sure (btw I read through the rules and I gotta say they're really good! So for whoever wrote them: well done!)

#

Also @marble mantle , when I read your username I thought it was an amogus reference at first cuz ya know you can sabotage comms. It means commissions tho doesn't it

frigid halo
#

Sebby your face is still difficult to draw...I was messing around with how his biker look would look like.

rare bronze
#

I want to make a fangame cuz I found a Udemy course on coding a SDV clone in Unity that looks really promising, so I've thought about what I could make with it

#

The idea I'll probably go with is basically SDV but its set in feudal/Edo era Japan

#

I think that would be really cool and wouldn't be very different mechanically from the original. Like I'd just change the setting and make the equivalent of each thing in SDV, and I wouldn't need to change much of the core mechanics

#

Also I can totally imagine the SDV OST but its remixed as traditional Japanese music

warm finch
#

Seb is too friggin hot

spiral gale
#

to this, bro i looked a bit around anddd apparently,
when i draw, i usually use two brushes? the big lineart brush for about everything color-y, and then theres another brush that has lower opacity which is super useful for colorpicking for the blending,,, ||enjoy the ping fukboy||

#

what i meant is: i tried shading like in a tutorial, then i gave up and used my normal brushes for this lmfao

frigid halo
rare bronze
#

I myself don't draw but I have a friend who illustrates things for me and I direct it. We use Peppermint for sketching, Studio Pen for inking and the Round Brush for coloring (if you use Procreate you'll know what I'm talking about, they come built in)

#

Also what do you think of my fangame idea

rare bronze
#

I figured

marble mantle
#

shame on you

marble mantle
spiral gale
#

my brush has that

#

i just dislike the general idea of pressing more than half hard since i dont wanna kill my pen

#

im somehow using the same fucking uh,,, pen,, thingy,, that you draw w,, since like a year or more now and it doesnt get used up and i dont wanna try my luck w pressing too hard lmfao

frigid halo

remote wedge

frigid halo
#

I was even considering getting a pet frog for a empty 10 gallon tank for home XD

remote wedge
#

with lil bulbs on the sides for the eyes

frigid halo
#

god...it softens his image quite a bit

remote wedge
#

omg no this looks cursed

remote wedge

lament turtle
#

i drew isaac the lost and blue baby

#

spiral gale
#

i wanted to go w something thats worn usually and doesnt have a lot of color honestly, like dark red or black // brown but i feel like ive been using the last two too much sadcat

#

god i havent played isaac in years,
but thats cute tho ;;;
azazel when

lament turtle
#

one day

#

isaac got a big update holy shit

#

in repentance

#

theres like 34 chars now

spiral gale
lament turtle
#

and like 50 new enemies

#

2 new endings

marble mantle
spiral gale
#

takes them and leaves

mossy leaf
#

finally sketched a human that actually looks like a human

marble mantle
#

ayeee

marble mantle
mossy leaf
#

yes please!

marble mantle
#

the ear are a bit too high

#

ears tend to fall right below the eyes

mossy leaf
#

oo thanks for the tip will keep that in mind

marble mantle
#

and the curve of your eye brows come too early
the part where its curved normally occurs at the plane change
so from your forehead to your temple [the side of your head]
right at that bump is where the eye brow will curve

mossy leaf
#

didn't know that, thanks!

marble mantle
#

hmm
i cant see anything else thats glaring off

#

maybe the eyes

mossy leaf
#

yeah the eyes are off especially the left one

marble mantle
#

the way how the iris is places in the eye is kinda unnatural
from what ive seen
there is almost always space at either the top or the bottom

#

for a normal resting face

#

then that space will get bigger or vanish completely based on what expression the person is making

mossy leaf
#

I see ssTakingNotes

marble mantle
#

idk if i would say the lips are off
because theyre in the right place and all
but for lips
try not to make all the lines the same weight
the darkest lines go where the lips meet
and probably the most important bit is the corners of the mouth
you can use lil triangles and stuff for them
but the mouth is almost never a crescent like that
then you can just focus a bit more on the shape of the lips themselves afterwards

#

but its a good drawing over all youve accounted for most of the major stuff

#

oh yeah
one last thing

#

eye lids

#

very important

mossy leaf
#

yeah need to practice drawing them, thanks for reminding me

#

thanks so much for all the tips

marble mantle
#

these are very important
give so much life to a drawing

#

you dont have to draw them out completely
you can just indicate them with lil thin baby lines

mossy leaf
#

will do that next time

marble mantle
#

this will go down in history as the best eye ive ever rendered

mossy leaf
#

woaah

frigid halo

hell yeah

watch me not be able to render the other one

CSP is truly a beautiful program

marble mantle
#

idk why they removed so many of the default brushes tho

#

kinda annoying

ehh kind of expected, they didn't want to overwhelm the new users

and I am 2 steps ahead of you and the assets finished installing as soon as you posted the link

The Design pencil makes a good tool to shade

#

decided to make a timelapse of the colouring because it has been awhile since I have had csp record a timelapse

(the first part of me colouring rimaru was me figuring out where the dark parts are going to be at)

upbeat swan

honestly, that's fuckin smart

#

I use a 3D program to pose simple compositions and adjust the anatomy as needed

#

but yeah, I'm that asshole who breaks open Maya or Blender to sculpt out architecture because buildings and structures be hella complex

#

only for art that needs accurate scenes tho. I'll do it for comics and it makes my life so much easier...but I do be spending like 23hrs building a scene catclown

mossy leaf
#

I use 3D models only when I make dynamic poses are poses I don't know how to do

#

thanks to csp they have an inbuilt 3D model posing so it is extremely easy to do

upbeat swan

that's the best way to go

#

make the time investment if it's worth it tho. I wouldn't say you should do that for every project you do. Art don't gotta b perfect all th time

I must... not rush things

you can always have fun while practicing

nothing wrong with taking a break from all the technical stuff to draw something fun

marble mantle

#

i like cell shading but i dont like cartoony styles

marble mantle
#

might sell these as 2 different styles

exotic snow
#

and work lately has really been killing my creativity... I haven't drawn anything since the banner

marble mantle
#

sometimes you need a break

marble mantle

anything thats super stylized isnt for me

i like cartoony styles that still have good anatomy adn follow the basic rules

stuff that has big hands big feet and eyes bigger than the face just isnt for me

I'm very curious as to what happens on every layer of yours @velvet sun

velvet sun
#

sddhdn

#

a lot of clippling layers

#

bc i just can't get the same depth with just one clipping layer

#

ooo smart

yeah i used to have like 7 clipping layers for each base colour layer as well skskskks

export as .png, delete original project file ACOSP_Woke

marble mantle
#

since it was originally grey scale and i had to add colour i ended up using alot of adjustment layers with different blending modes

#

literally just flattened all of them then deleted the individual layers

velvet sun
#

😩 im not gonna merge my layers until im done

marble mantle
#

seeing that many layers stresses me out so much

velvet sun
#

i always have last minute touch ups

exotic snow
#

yeah understandable

#

i used to do that too

#

now i just

color pick and paint pain

marble mantle
#

sometimes i make a new layer just to put something im unsure of on

#

but i merge right away if im keeping it or yeet it right away

#

cant have shit piling up cause i'll literally lose my mind

exotic snow
#

^^^ relatable

marble mantle
#

literally one of the most stressful moments of my art career

#

idk how often i'll work from greyscale to colour
there so many layers involved

oh wait i added a skirt

i cant imagine doing all that manual texturing for the sweater

#

i would just get that image texture and overlay it

#

lil meh transform here and there

velvet sun
#

literally the only things i use
are watercolour/pencil tool

and eraser tool

#

😭

exotic snow
#

image texture oh

#

never used them before

marble mantle
#

ive recently started to just use the hard round brush

#

it doesnt even have size pressure

#

just a hard brush with pressure opacity

exotic snow
marble mantle
#

very fun

exotic snow
#

oh pressure opacity thats fine then

#

if something has no size pressure, no opac pressure, no density pressure i quit

marble mantle
#

i find painting with pressure opacity a lot more fun and organic than the colour mixing brushes im used to

velvet sun
#

lmao the size of the canvas vs what i actually use (fun fact i had to scale up the sketch)

exotic snow
#

but why

velvet sun
#

idk i just like big canvas

#

if i have a small canvas i end up drawing either :
too big where i can't control how neat my lines are

or too small

marble mantle
#

i could never not use up all the space i have on the canvas

#

all that empty space seems intimidating

marble mantle
#

a lot of the times i end up making my canvas bigger so i can fit more

Haha, yeah...don't worry though I believe in you all!

upbeat swan

just keep practicing anyway πŸ™ƒ

lament turtle
#

mood

upbeat swan
#

Like, even if it sucks or seems pointless, keep drawing.

lament turtle
#

imagine failing a drawing then questioning your entire drawing journey

upbeat swan
#

be like me and draw out of spite lmfao

#

oh

#

oh I don't have to imagine that omfg

#

it's a reality even for me rn

lament turtle
#

i mean its even worth it?

#

sometimes i question myself if i even like drawing

#

if i liked it i would be better

upbeat swan
#

that's a question you have to ask yourself

#

but honestly, if you like it keep doing it

#

even if it sucks

#

every line matters, even the shitty ones

#

The struggle is there to remind you you're alive and living.

lament turtle
#

i mean i only draw because i dont do anything

upbeat swan
#

that's okay!

lament turtle
#

i kinda feel i have the need to be good at something

upbeat swan
#

I know the feeling

lament turtle
upbeat swan
#

I wanted to get good at art so people who bullied me had to respect me on some level ghkngh

#

but whatever motivates you

#

whatever feels natural to you. Find what you enjoy and just keep doing it.

lament turtle
#

alright

upbeat swan
#

trust me, you'll get there. Just be stubborn haha

lament turtle
#

i mean sometimes the fact u actually need to work on something

#

like work hard

#

makes u give up

upbeat swan
#

yes

lament turtle
#

but this comes back at my question

upbeat swan
#

it's okay to take breaks and try to find something new too of course

lament turtle
#

if i really liked drawing i would not even think of giving up

upbeat swan
#

why do you like drawing?

#

Do you communicate better through art or through words?

lament turtle
#

idk i just picked it

upbeat swan
#

that's okay

#

do you feel like you can express yourself better this way?

lament turtle
#

i think so

#

i just dont like what i do most of the time

upbeat swan
#

Okay, that's good!

#

hey

#

I feel that way, it's okay.

lament turtle
#

like farm layouts on stardew valley, school work

upbeat swan
#

art is one of those things you don't instantly become good at

lament turtle
upbeat swan
#

yeah okay! So design is πŸ‘Œ

#

I think the question you should be asking yourself instead of "should I draw?" is "what fulfills me?" is it being understood? Is it the satisfaction of making something? Does drawing or designing allow your brain to be free for a few hours or whatever?

lament turtle
#

i just dont know, i might even give up on drawing, like i mean its not a big deal at all

#

when i grow up i would not draw for a job

#

but i guess not being good at something is fine

upbeat swan
#

you can be good at something but it doesn't necessarily have to have a tangible product like art or music or whatever

marble mantle
#

doing art full time is risky

#

very competitive environment

upbeat swan
#

it's competitive af

lament turtle
#

sure it is

upbeat swan
#

I'm fortunate to be able to do it for a living

#

but it's not an environment where you can solely rely on talent. You have to be good with people too.

marble mantle
#

^

#

gotta have those good links

upbeat swan
#

you could be the most talented mo fo ever and still get nowhere

#

like...believe me, I've seen it lmfao

marble mantle
#

that's why a lot of working professionala are the ones that went to school

#

you get to meet peeps

#

learn how to properly present your work and yourself

upbeat swan
#

or at least be good at making friends

#

yep

marble mantle
#

^

#

making friends, the right friends, in college is very important

upbeat swan
#

I didn't get my connections through school. But I gotta say just brush up on your people skills and put a portfolio together. It's a daunting task but once you have it you can use it for many things.

#

it's kinda funny, for my side job stuff I work with VAs and I made those connections through online friends and acquaintances.

marble mantle
#

get a lot of friends in he online art world
you never know who might get where and be able to recommend you or slip you a job

upbeat swan
#

I think the best advice I've ever gotten was to be open minded and make friends with people. People in the industry want to help out or mentor people who are seriously interested.

marble mantle
#

I can't to see how you render Shane

Also, never bad mouth you work even if you think it sucks. If you're negative people aren't going to want to put in the effort to respond. Negativity is a huge buzzkill for anyone listening. Besides, people respond so much better to acknowledging mistakes as a learning experience rather than listening to an excuse for why your art isn't up to snuff...if that makes sense.

I dont' have a good grasp how to draw the biz yet so this was the exercise...Elliot is the toughest for me lol

marble mantle
#

I always see people say their art is shit then complain about not getting comms

upbeat swan
#

Seriously tho, don't badmouth your work regardless if it's art or not. This was the best advice I've ever received, and while it was directed at critiques, it's genuinely the best piece of advice I've ever had for any given situation in life.

frigid halo
upbeat swan
#

negativity won't get you where you want to go

marble mantle
#

it's like going to buy a new car and the dealer is going on and on about how shit all the cars are

upbeat swan

people aren't gonna want to be there to be your cheerleader if you're your own worst enemy

#

yes

#

I fell in that pit before and it really doesn't benefit both sides it also puts a strain on communication if you're grumpy pants all the time. I mean...to be fair clients love working with people who are reasonable any approachable

marble mantle
#

one thing I hate the most is when people bring down themselves to compliment others

frigid halo
#

I'm of course not saying that's me, cause I got shit to work around but I like to think I'm improving with the soft skills LOL

frigid halo
marble mantle
#

^^

#

nothing wrong with acknowledging when someone is better than you tho
its a good way to learn when youre able to point stuff like that out

#

but damn
those are the most awkward kind compliments

upbeat swan
#

yeah;;; any time someone compares my work to theirs and brings theirs down...like;;; idk all I can think to say is "sorry"?

#

I dunno, I don't like the backhanded complements even if it's putting down the other person. At that point it just feels like my existence or success is directly in the way of that person's. It's pretty passive aggressive and idk...I've been through a lot of blood sweat and tears to get to where I am and for it to just be disregarded that way..mmmm pepehmm

frigid halo
upbeat swan
# frigid halo everyone has a story to tell and yea..its not like I took a elevator to get good...

Defo. At least in professional terms people don't really want to hear a sob story because art is hard, and the struggle isn't unique to any one person.

That being said, I'd stay this chat is a safe place to talk or vent about problems because it's not a professional setting haha! It's good to speak your mind and voice your frustrations, just not in professional situations...generally speaking.

frigid halo
# upbeat swan Defo. At least in professional terms people don't really want to hear a sob stor...

Oh for sure. I usually keep the business aspect about art stuff behind closed curtains, but if people are wanting info about certain things, I'm happy to express my opinions unless its a relatable experience. I think that's the reason Glassdoor exists. XD I was talking about people who are stubborn to not wanting to learn foundations. I guess in a way they taught us in college to stay humble about things.

upbeat swan
frigid halo
upbeat swan
#

but yes, I completely agree. Tho, I gotta say there are so many things you don't learn in college...it's pretty frustrating ngl. School only teaches so much and there is a pretty big disconnect between the academic and professional worlds

I wish I had an external hard drive for a brain to store all the info I'd need to do 3D properly πŸ™ƒ

frigid halo
#

also the comp I worked on kept getting a concussion

upbeat swan
#

I break computers when I do 3D...that's a big bruh moment

#

I need a server farm LMAO!! 3D is so expensive too. Like, just to learn it is an expense...Besides having a good computer the programs can be so friggin expensive. Last I checked Z Brush was like $700....duuuude I can't make that kind of investment to just fool around and maybe learn something in 3D.

frigid halo
#

ye my partner has the program so I'd want to work something out during chill breaks to see if I can sneak on hteir comp and mess with Z brush, I'm broke

upbeat swan
#

ALSO 3D has no business being so convoluted. Istg if I want to do one thing there's always a step I'm missing and all the tutorials I look up are like 4+ years old, so they're hardly relevant. If you gotta learn 3D going to school or at least taking a class is the way to go.

frigid halo
#

yea I'm mainly the 2D concept dude and they're the 3D expert o__O

#

but Id' rather just chain myself to my desk and spend a good year trying to sculpt stuff on the Zbrush.
