holy crap you guys have no clue how complicated it is to do a gradient lace pattern omg 😩 i had fun painting the character and the hair and all of that, but the lace was a struggle and it took me so long to finish it and im really proud/happy with the result :) i feel like the painting is too ...
man that looks amazing
my blue chicken named shane 
guys what do you think of my meth dinosaur all tomorrows oc
idk what his name is i just know he has no braincells
I like, he's got Shaggy (from scooby doo) vibes.
i mean yeah he has the chin stubble and a long haircut
hes friends with a killer folk gal whos honestly worried about his well being
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkX7JFUawBw he speaks like this
we're playing skribb io (pictionary) if anyone wants to join! https://skribbl.io/?qiWR6yE9oaUN
man its weird looking and some drawing I used to see long ago that I though was really realistic then now when I see them now I just can notice where every brush stroke has taken place and where they started the stroke and where they end
real weird
^^
Hey anyone here able to help me get pressure sensitivity working on Photoshop? I just got a Huion H950P tablet today and everything works on it the drivers are installed and settings show pressure sensitivity working, but when I go onto Photoshop with the pen icon on, it just doesn't work and I'm not sure why.
i found a old old drawing i loved it but its just so cringe and bad.
I've looked on forums and tried to troubleshoot the issue but I'm at a loss
as a mouse drawer idk anything about tablets sorry
hmmm few suggestions I would guess, try unplugging your tablet and plugging it into a different usb port on your pc, if that not works try restarting photoshop
also when installing the driver for the tablet you need to search up your exact tablet on the website and install its exact driver software
Yeah I already did both of those
The tablet works fine on its own driver settings when changing sensitivity and I've done different USB ports but Photoshop itself just doesn't like it
I restarted the PC and Photoshop multiple times after changes
have you turned off windows ink mode for your pen?
I did try turning that off and when it didn't work I turned it back on but same result both times
hmmm how strange
I really can't figure it out
I'm not sure if I said it in this chat but I do have a screen tablet that I only use as a second monitor now because it was buggy but I was certain I deleted all old drivers before I ever plugged in the new tablet
I can't find any traces left but that's my only final guess as to why it won't function since Photoshop DID work with old tablet
hmmm you maybe its photoshop still trying to use windows ink for your pen
even though you have disabled it photoshop might still be using it
I have never used photoshop before so I am also quite clueless on why its not registering pen pressure
I'll see if I can just fiddle around with windows ink settings, I never used it before and might in the future but as of now it could be the problem since it's the only thing I'm not really educated about
It's my first non screen tablet so I was bound to have a problem somewhere...
pain
if the problem still persists you could try contacting photoshop support or huion support
also I am reading that reinstalling the driver for the tablet could fix it, though not sure
I'll keep trying, thanks for the help!
good luck!
AHAH I FOUND IT!
It was sneaky but I was looking for Windows Ink and found a little shortcut for my old tablet driver settings and it still opens and works!
I have to hunt it down now
Ugghhh I uninstalled it before so now it is missing files that allow it to uninstall itself correctly?? Now I have to fix it to get rid of it dang
I think my old tablet has been disowned by its creators... There is no longer any place to download the drivers they act like it doesn't exist and never did
They only have one product that I don't own that they are pushing like crazy
having a product that is no longer getting any service just sucks
I just looked it up online and the only thing I could find of its existence is a 2017 review and some other videos talking about it but as for the company, it doesn't exist.
I might have the driver disc somewhere but now I have to go to all the trouble of not only finding it but also ask dad if he has that optical drive he bought awhile ago
And he'll never let me live it down that discs aren't dead
man if the company no longer exists then their products must have failed hard
They still exist they just disowned all their creations except 2 types of pen tablets so they only have 2 products on their page. It's UGEE btw it was cheap and for beginners
So I could not find the old disc driver... BUT I downloaded Krita and it works perfect there.
Photoshop I'm not sure what your problem is but Krita is doing fine
It's actually REALLY smooth I like it
huh that is strange then the problem is on photoshops end
also glad to see you like the tablet
god is PS screwing up for you too?
You're having issues too??
I have a fuckin bone to pick with Adobe, yes.
What'd they do to you?
It's a startup issue that's linked to the preferences and for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Neither could the 5 other people on the support team work it out too.
I'm so close to throwing hands
Mine won't recognize pressure sensitivity on my new tablet
Start up preferences as in when you start it up it doesn't remember your preferences?
Or it just won't start up at all?
do you work on PC or Mac?
it could be a Windows Ink thing. I've been there.
it won't start up because the preferences make it angry so I have to delete them any time I want to open the program
I'm on Windows 10 yes, Ink doesn't seem to be doing anything though but I can't do much in settings either it looks like
Weird, did it just happen all of a sudden or has it been that way?
wip 😄
Nice! It's a teams salad
yesss
Wha- I’m still a creative channel lurkerrr
WHAT TIME IS IT
Drawing time?
SEB
he is smonking oiud
nae please dont look at the janky ass eye and ear
i cant draw them
Need to finish the background 😫
can anyone help me make my art into a Gem please? like what I need to make it better
so who can help out?
what do you mean by making your art into a gem?
lemme quickly draw an drawing to show where you could better place the cherry's and the shooting starfruits, it would be easier to draw it and then explain
gimme a sec
got it Micko
Having all of it aligned to the centre than the right makes it look better, and for the background a dull cyan colour fits the colours yellow and red nicely and is a better background colour than black (any kind of not bright or too dark Cyan colour will do)
if you need anything explained better please do ask
Wowowow so detailed!! 
i wanna draw boobies but i have no girl ocs that i draw on the regular
mood
This is the best idea for a title I’ve ever had
lmao
can’t spell Lewis without ew
perfect for the man who just wants to hit it and quit it
He should just take is golden statue and leave
im getting whiplash
i bid this character away bc i didnt want them anymore and the person wants me to draw him as their prize -- since it got over a set amount, which meant id include a bust 😭
This looks great so far! I love their expressions.
looks really amazing though 🥺
WIP!
Everyday I wake up and draw Shane holding a chicken because the implications of him holding a beer instead is a bummer
Also don’t ask why the only thing with colour is Harvey’s moustache. I always draw it on a different layer and I wanted to see it cover his mouth lmao
||Sam lost an eye in a skateboard accident||
Looking great so far!
Shhhh XD
Also thank you haha!
You're welcome 
Lesgo lineart done
Whoa your line art is so good…so clean! I love Amphibia ❤️
me drawing all of my stardew ocs/self inserts with their spouses because im a simp before im human:
valid description of at least half or more of the artists here in this server 
LMFAO
yo, real quick I'mma just out my frustration real quick about drawing landscapes
I drew this in high school
I drew this today
There is a VIBE in both I cannot escape and it's driving me BANANAS

it feels like I haven't improved since then and BRUH
holyshit that is amazing
thank you;;;; butIwannakickmyownbutt
Wow that’s so good
thanks;;;;;
idk I might just have at it with some gradients and try dulling out some of the trees in the middle ground. It's too contrast-y
maybe add more detail to the far far background like a thicker vegetation? idk im not much of a landscape person, thats my friend's zone
sadly she went MIA and i havent been in contact
stop kicking your own ass jeez luis
Maybe with this one, if there are pockets of light pushing through, maybe punch of specs of light for some contrast? Sometimes the saturation of the background color looks a bit even with the other shades of greens, so maybe mix up a few levels of value. Maybe stuff in the foreground can be darker or something like that?
use lighter tones in the back if its misty and use darker more blue tones if its not
yeah I tend to stick to those saturated colors a bit too much. Maybe I'll just dull it out and work from there. Getting the light through the trees is a technique I have yet to master 🙃
The forest floor has so many colors I guess I don't even know how to start with the tones that would fit with that lighting technique properly. I'll try to find some pictures tho and work on it
yeah I think I'm gonna dull out some stuff in the middle ground. I think less detail in the bg is better but I could probably dull things down with some blues like you suggested
dont be afraid to use layers for the tricky lighting, also many colors that are more grey in tone will look super colorful in some respects, its about tricking the eye to make it look saturated
like dont be afraid to color pick from some paintings to see what colors they actually are
ye ye that's all v solid! Thank you!!
thinking about starting to study cars and vehicles because i need to if i want to start a comic
friendly reminder to not just study your idols art but also your own
i drew this
then i studied what i liked and didnt like about my process and final product
looked into some inpiration (spoiler its mostly mazamuno <3) and restudied my art with my inspiration in mind
the art that came after the dog girl portrait was this
ty <3 i worked my brain to the bone to let myself draw in this way
studying my own art is a very emotionally tiring process when i already have self hatred 
the thing is that the old art isnt bad its just i wasnt mentally happy with it being my style
also im doing some coloring practice but can we talk about the eye i dre for it???
thats a nice eye
i tend to go for very simplistic eyes
without the shading the eye is just 2 colors, the purple and the yellow\
i run circles about coloring eyes because they end up so pretty when i do it right
heres an unfinished piece but yeah
prebby
my style of shading varies on the art but i really like the shading on that first one i did because its simple but effective
my favorite artist right now is fruiteggs on tumblr (they do a lot of homestuck) and their painting style is very colorful but also gritty
blood // like damn i wish i was this good
their tumblr
just a general tw for their blog, it has a lot of drug and blood on it and generally upsetting images
I like it better for the lashes to stay sharp and unblurred, but the eyes getting blurred looks so good now
So pretty and fantasy looking
i like blurred lashes to much to leave them unblurred
it softens up so nicely
i only use sharp lashes for dramatic appearance
also hair coloring <3
btw not open for critism atm im already mentally out of it
oh my god im sorry i sent my message the same time you did
dont use tone indicators around me, they dont really work haha
oh -
i respect you making sure that you didnt offend me
i have issues with tone so i always get yelled at for not reading it, so i can understand indicators not working for some people
np !!
im extremely monotone with practically no filter but every time i try to put tone into my voice it just comes off as forced
i cant control my volume very well and it messes with my tone all the time
i sound either like im mad, having a panic attack, or about to laugh
i have issues with volume (apparently) because my mom always tells me to quiet down
its mostly because of how i process stimuli, specifically hearing things
im semi verbal, i talk when its quiet but other than that if i cant hear myself i wont talk (or i will try to and fail miserabley)
i have an auditory processing disorder and psychoses that works with sound so im either not hearing actual words or im hearing something talking to me that isnt real
oh im also selective mute ! :)
do you wanna move to dms? were kinda clogging up the chat /nm
asure
Uhm Hi can I ask what brush you use? Sorry for the ping
lemme check
Thank youu
for the hair i use a mix of the flat watercolor set
for the eye i used a mix of the fade watercolor set and some random lineart brush
Thank youu I'll try those some time soon hehe
Looking good so far 👀

I should work in my comic but Im always wanted to do sv miitopia Characters
I use a Wacom Cintique but it's kinda old. Still works tho!
also wacom

I use Huion
I used a Wacome Intuos

i use my phone
Mine's a Wacom Cintiq Hybrid which is 8 years oldish, but it still working miraculously
I use a Wacom Intuos. I love it!
They last forever. I finally had to replace my last one because I didn't protect it well enough when packing it in my luggage. I've never had a software or mechanical complaint about them.
Oooh
looking cute already
A bit of some additional character development for Gaji. A bit of some wholesomeness for the bad ending..
Also, Morris having to deal with "rat problems" and trying everything they can but can't quite get it

Yeah I do some casual character stalking, what about it??
also,, if people really want to, perhaps 2 years in the future, when my style likes to drastically shift again, I can make a version 3 Squirmles base for anyone interested 
rn I am mucho too focuso on trying to my characters look non-static
how do i embed my art?
what do you mean? you can just drag the drawing image into discord and send it and it will show in discord, if that is what you are asking
Oh, so you can't post the twitter link?
you can post the twitter link, posting the twitter link will automatically embed whatever is in the tweet
Anyone here's the spritework I did for fun.
THATS HORRIBLE (i love it)

amberlynn

but I like the style so I ain't mad
WOAH THAT'S AWESOME
keep going!
Wip part 2! Some of them look hella sleep deprived (especially Elliott hehe) but I’ll fix that in post
Side note: my fam and I finally went on a road trip after 2 years. It was a nightmare trying to draw this in the car because I get nasty motion sickness so I’m sorry for the messiness!
Oh man...that sounds like a nightmare drawing in the car. I would've gotten super sick too cause my motion sickness is pretty bad. You can try a pill called Dramamine to help with that as that is what I take and also I get these motion sickness medicinal pads you put behind your ear and it really works well>!>
Anyway LOOKING GOOD BRAH
HHhh…yeah. Luckily it wasn’t too bad this time, usually it’s much worst. I just had to press on…for The Boys…Hmm interesting, I usually don’t take meds besides gravol haha, but those pads do peak my interest 👀 thanks for the suggestions!
Also thanks bro👍
Here's those motion sickness patches, and they are thankfully pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/MQ-Motion-Sickness-Patch-Count/dp/B00RHJKGE2/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=motion%2Bsickness%2Bpatches&qid=1627882397&sr=8-6&th=1
Oooo I’m looking 👀
Oh wow that’s so amazing!! I love how detailed it is!!
Most likely he does >>
Thats so so amazing omg!!
ughh not done yet, realised im missing the painting, another plant for bedside table, chair and piano bench. So close yet so far. (i have papers to strewn around)
damn that is really good
woah that looks awesome
ugh there's a red book on the floor too i need to make. ughh so much more to do.
Pretty women..
pretty woman....
She is done!
Thank you!! :D
i cant wait to finish writing this oh my god
This looks amazing so far! I love it!
That can’t be real, Abigail lied to me then…
im so sorry you had to find out like this..
I'm excited to see how this turns out!
yayay thank youu <3
Eh it’s fine, she wimps out in the mines
I married leah instead
good taste
Did not want to spam #creative channel so putting this here. A lot of work goes into my art when soemone wants color accuracy on their character, or, if I just don't have the colors I need to finish something traditionally.
This is my latest art trade without my traditional line work.
Everything was done with my mouse, as per usual, as a drawing tablet just is not in my budget. You can see both my traditional lines as well as finished product in creative ^_^
I will pull the weight of the Leah fanart content all on my own if I have to 
i made a junimo holding a starfruit (you'll have to zoom in because of the program i use)
:OOOO
its like a tiny emote :,))
very cute ❤️
i presume your program has an option to save at 1x, 2x, or 3x size? u can save at higher sizes if u want it to be bigger
but its perfectly like an emote ❤️
aww it ok it emphasizes its cuteness
this is what im working on currently, still in love with the simpsons
ahh man thank you ❤️
i love drawing people honestly they can really be fun
dfgjkfdshg youre makin my heart do flips thats so sweet
I want the energy this art is radiating
I need themes for a stardew oc
Ufff
magical girl sebby
THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!
AMAZING WORK!!

somebody fucking help me
ohfuck yeah
hmm he looks like someone from ace attorney
He's supposed to be edward centeno but i made him too handsome and look like mr white from ace attorney
Lmaooo
now that you mention it, it does look like edward centeno but ace attorney version
surprisingly I like this traditional drawing (my OC)
OOUUELQWEEWJADFJJAEWHAWQOREEEE ITS SO GOOD OMG 
Omg 
gorgeous 
thank you!!

That's so good
That's so gosh darn prettyy! 

I joined cherries and I still dunno what's going on, cause this is the first event I joined, if any
So my current plan is to make sprites for these 6 and make them playable into Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart.
That’s so cool I love those movies!!
nope
So like it's not the best cause I had no idea of what or where I was going with this but then this happened kinda wish the shoulders were wider but there's always room for improvement
the bright red highlights i luv 
OHHH YOU'RE SO GOOD AT RENDERING!
cuteeeee love ur style sm 🥺🥺
Ahh thank u both

im screeeeeaming this is absolutely incredible
YEa the question was asking what my favorite heart even is, so I picked this iconic one
I also didn't get far with the other marriaged candidates yet anyway
gorjis!!!! the motorcycle details is literally

Thanks! A little annoying that the detail can't be appreciated in that dimness 
i appreciate those details too even if i can’t see them

me & my friends’ DnD characters
somehow it's more fun to sketch on krita? i dont know why but it feels better
i relate;; 99% of the time i am a CSP-user but Krita just feels more free and fun sometimes
I should try out Krita sometime, I have been using CSP for such a long time
you should! I got a little overwhelmed with the interface when i first used it earlier, but once i got a little used to it, it got super fun
some fun pose practice
And then , after a lot of references i was able to finish my 4 armed elemental deity: Zhemli , who was born for a dynamic about making a character based on the word "Natural"
He was a hell of a challenge
trying to sketch the faves 
sam yessss mm 
👀
frik yiiiss Leahhhh
ooo i like your art style!
dang talent
The top is from March 2021 (It was my first time drawing them). and the bottom is from yesterday!
Its really fun looking at before and after progress.
the improvement :0
it looks so good 
i love!
Ikr? It’s the main reason why I love redraws so much! I need to redraw more old art tbh
Thank you!
Thanks!
Man… I was so out of practice when I drew that first one … I think I drew like one piece a month at that point. Sdv was literally the spark that made me motivated to draw anything every week lmao
TO add to this...SDV kind of helped with my depression and humungous artblock...Stupid Sebastian lol. I also blame the artist Perle, for her smoking hot drawings of him too. But the most important thing is meeting some great people in this community too.
Awww man, totally... Thank you Seb and everyone else haha. Ooo her Sebastian art is 👌. Also for sure, i love the community here so much, y’all are so nice 🥺 I usually never interact with others online but I couldn’t help but chat with you guys lmao
yea, this is probably one of the few times I've been active and talkative in a community for a long time and I'm the same with interacting online, so you're not alone. 
i went into a 6 month long slump because i burned out, i didnt draw anything from november to about april-may. what got me out of that slump was my friend telling me about his ocs
depression sucks so much
the 2nd one was the last picture i drew before going cold turkey until about late april to early may when i starter to get back into the habit of drawing and enjoying it
first one is from last night
i think this particular drawing is more comparable to the november piece than the one i drew last night, since thats still a wip while this is more fleshed out imo
Fellow procreate user 
im only using procreate as a subsitute right now, clip studio is my main program and the one im most comfortable with
This is fair but still 
i find the pressure sensitivity to be funky at times
and i think thats just the ipad limits, i have done digital art on a computer for the longest time so the pressure sensitivity is different since well. ipads are more general and i have an ipad that isnt specifically targeted to artists
i do like how easy it is to navigate but its just a bit limited to what im used to
Thats fair i enjoy procreates simplicity personally too many menus overloads my brain
thats very valid, fireaplaca would be a good starting place to digital art on a computer since its simple menu and interface is easy enough to learn
clip studio is overwhelming even for me
Eh i got an ipad for drawing i enjoy procreate and stuff
theres a lot of features and even more on the asset store to download so you can get carried away with the brushes instead of learning the program
yeah i got an ipad for drawing on the go since im scared of paper now
paper. scary. cant erase mistakes and have a completely white canvas again
WHOA this is amazing, the details on the motorcycle omg!! I love this heart event sm
everyone here is amazing at art omg
ah not fair there was a blackout before i could compliment (complement? simp over, if u will) everyone’s stuff,,
Eraser: so i can do a trick, i can help you clean off your mistake, but.. i can also…
Artist: nononono
Eraser: do this! And right on top of your art! makes a huge mark that is extremely hard to even rub off
PAPER TERRIFYING
the trick is to.... not make mistakes 
EUGH
Thank you sir or ma’am, for solving all my life issues
That looks amazing
FROGEEEE

crappy
oh damn haven't seen you in a long time frog
Hello peoples :)))
I have a little challenge for you
Its totally up to you if u wanna do it or not I just found it pretty fun
So
You have to use pens, no pencil sketches beforehand, you put all your pens in a bag and mix them, then randomly select 3
And you have to use those 3 to make a drawing!
But
If you put them down
You can't use that color anymore
So good!!! 👏 👏
Here's mine!
tfw you dont know where your pens are
if i jumble my stylus for my phone in with pens does it count
can i do it- digitally-...
i dont have trad pens
(rules i assume would become: pick 3 random colours using a generator, no undoing, no erasing)
my three pens !
Hm, if you do a random color generator it may work!
;D
here's mine!
ooo
the shading looks so cool
and i like the expression
That looks so pretty!! 
sorry for butting in the challenge!! just really liked the expression on this!
good job on the challenge tho guys btw!!
it wasn't supposed to be razor but it ended up being razor 
nottam that is sooo good 
THANKSS 
WHOA that’s amazing, your art style is immaculate
i have never played genshin impact in my life but I would die for this drawing
AAH I love your art style too I'm gonna explode thank you!!

Aaaaa I wish I could do that
so cuuuuute!
razor best boi
OMG YES I LOVE
HE LOOKS SO GOOD 😍 😍 😍
And ur style is so stunning!!!
WIP
maru looks hot here
so after 29301293 years i drew something again
what im going for here is just a nice loose sexy sketching style so i stop getting upset with myself when it doesnt look exactly how i want it to
nae it's been a long timeee :o
its been 84 years 👵🏾
it really did feel like it 
but yes
ive decided that my old sketch style stresses me out too much cause i get so caught up in the details
with this i can just
vibe
most important part of art is to have fun vibe yissss 
bruh I feel this. It can be so hard to loosen up sometimes. Best of luck!
It's looking good so far :>
thank
finished
God that's so pretty 
oh that lighting
forgot to crop out my brushes 🤡
tag yourself im stupid soft
i- have used that one like, once-
its pretty obvious the brushes i actually use lmao
they all have funky names
then theres the others that i download, test once and never look at again
i use it on almost all my pieces
maybe i should name my brushes 
naming them is fun for me
Some of my brushes are from clip studios asset section, but I have no clue what they are called as they are all in Japanese
the default names are yucky
especially when its in some foreign language that i cant read
I had never thought of renaming them, but thats actually smart
yeah same i have so many downloaded ones that i have no idea what they actually r
And now I am officially starting
i used to rename my brushes but now that i want to remember which ones they were i dont anymore
me who is trilingual and can read all the default names
sorry big flex
I use a system of naming brushes like...."ass brush.....flowery brush...... I don't have a concept but somehow I still know what brush it is
ooo thats so cool
ive always wanted to learn another
but im lazy
ok but why?
He's disliked because that other person's existence ruins names that start with H and end with Y
he doesn't deserve it but what can you do?
me, who is very much into older men and big dad energy: harvey me beloved
can't not read those last three words in Mr. Krabs's voice
and I don't know why
ar ar ar ar mayor lewis stole all of me tax dollars fer a golden statue of himself ar ar ar ar
oh god thats somehow the best worst thing i read today
talking about, posting WiPs, all that yeah
oh
Made a bad pfp for summer
Thoughts?
It’s a copy of her one right now
I don’t draw cute stuff and this was my first one
So sorry
its very cute
my only thoughts is, try it in the size it will be used (i.e. pfp size) and see if there are some sizes you want to tweak for visibility
Thx for advice, will always come to you for cute stuff
What app?
actually hand drawing
Okay, I can help
but its hard to mix, like, color
so it looks good
just pencil
So colour pencil
Just make an outline of your drawing
And lightly on the inner-edge
Colour it
Then make it thicker and thicker
Amaryn
hm
I didn’t know it was you
Jas in SDV said the trick is to colour darker near the edges 😌
hello sneaky 
and theres also this part
Amaryn, see this pfp I made for summer (first cute drawing)
like theres a cherry stem
yeah i saw
cute!
Make a outline of the outer stem
idk if i should draw a dark green outline or a brown one
oh
both, do a gradient
I do more of digital art
do brown near the ends
just have fun w it and do what you want ig?
yeah
Amaryn TWITCH
im this close to saying scratch that and paint whatever
PLEASE I WANNA SEE LIVE ARTTTTTTTTTTT
wait what
C’mon u can do it
Since I came into this server
I wanted amaryn to have a twitch cause live artttttt
I’ll start now if u do
sneaky patience is a virtue 
IT ISNT TO MY RACOON BRETHREN
the closest to live art you’ll do me do is Gartic Phone
just paint whatever, no thoughts head empty and just let it roll
no thoughts head empty got it
nah focus on the picture, squint if you have to so you’re not conscious of your pen
two types of people 
Agreed
yeah totally

did..I start a trend??
thanks, fam!
hehe
istg my art jumps around so much
one week im like "fuck cell shading"
and the other im like "fucking painting"
i dont do cell shading anymore and i think im getting comfortable where i am rn 
that's a real mood. I feel like I never settle on one thing
idk what kinda shading im doing
its kinda like
apinting but not really but im relying on pressure opacity a lot
opacity is the king of all settings 
what do you call this?
idk what I draw I just draw;;; but thank you
I call that "Nae trying to figure out the fuckin mood but succeeding anyway"
p- painting
makes sense
even with me trying a more flat comicy style i still end up putting all my colour on one layer
sometimes it's like that
kinda creepy ngl
Looks like something in an art gallery
i want
to render
like sam
i would kiss his art if i could
i would smooch his art so hard
not even the drawing portion of it
the way he renders is just so sexy i want to cry
Looks like something out of a Disney movie art
i might be a dumb beech but what actually is rendering
I don’t like it cause of the water
I get in the mood to do a flat colored piece but then there's always this one area of the drawing that begs to be shaded.
rendering is basically just
finishing your piece
Doesn’t match up with lighting
So I try cel shading it and suddenly I find another area that needs to be painterly and whoops my hand slips
I'd say the lighting matches 
people normally say rendering when talking about painted stuff
but it can be used for cell shaded stuff too
Just the girl’s shadow is on the right but the water indicates its in front
the water is my fav part
its so simple
yet you can tell exactly what its supposed to be
that's what happens with multiple light sources, friend
Angle though
imo the light is a warm yellowish colour so hue shifting the “normal” blue pond water to green is a nice decision
Angleeeee
But it’s good overall
honestly tho, lighting is difficult. It's best to have a photo reference
angle's fine!
Yes I see
sam is a god at lighting
its one of the main reasons i followed him in the first place
organic stuff like plants/water is easy to fudge the perspective. Buildings, cars, and anything with clear angles is where it gets difficult.
its so simple and yet so sexy
everyone can see though. You don't need to be a musician to tell if music is bad. You don't need to be an artist to tell if something's off about a picture.
^^^
i hate that so many people dont understand that
sometimes something is just objectively bad but then you'll have someone say "if its so bad why dont you do it better??"
This is good
the day i can render like sam is the day i can die happily
I feel like they have a lot of good photos of lighting examples to work from, so it's not impossible!
ikr
i watch his how to render skin videos over and over
hoping the skill will come through the pc and into my body
same
its just the regular hard round brush and the smudge tool
the brush i used for my latest piece is actually from his brush set
it seems like he uses a comb brush too to add a abstract effect which is neat
also i need to check out his brush set
oo thanku!!
If you can also, I draw a shitton of trees to figure out how value works, but don’t try to spend too much time on each. I also do pleine air painting sometimes if I can. The tricky thing about painting live is that the lighting and temperature changes frequently if you sit in a place too long. But I think with the lighting values are very important figure out. I use the hard brush quite a bit to figure out how to control edge control and the like.
I hope what I’m saying isn’t a mouthful lol
never heard of pleine air painting before
yea it’s just going outdoors to painting 🙂
I wish I can demo how I set mine up with traditional paintings
i can see outside inside
lol
the thing with this is that unless you give a clear way to help fix it, you are in fact just insulting it
sam actually made a video about unsolicited criticism and why it can harm someones mental state
hang on let me get it
oh yeah ive seen it
ive worked a ton on traditional art but it was mainly all charcoal work because paint is so darn expensive

wait gimmie a sec
I wish people understood the difference of this more often cause it’s annoying to explain countless of times
merry christmas sam skin rendering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e9Xx-zLdqA
sam skin rendering 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjlZPZKXpcI&feature=youtu.be
but charcoal is amazing if u want to learn abt values, lighting, and even edges if u make a transition to painting
I know that pain cherry, I was broke ass student when I did the art school crap
stop it pls

watching sam paint is just
ugh
so relaxing
yes 😩
I forgot to mention about pleine aire painting, I usually like working with limited colors so that it’s a bit less hectic to pick colors and I guess understand to mix neutral colors..
i have some of his painting processes too cause i got his patreon
i dont mind sharing is peeps wanna see
i make it a point to either ask if someone is open to criticism or just not say anything if they didnt already state that theyre open to it
same
because i know i would feel like shit if someone just starts criticizing my stuff without asking
but personally
i dont care much when it comes to me
if someone gives criticism without me asking its just eh
if its good then
thank them for helping me
if its bad then i just ignore it and go about my day
i have a very influenced mind and it can really ruin my day if im not in a good mental state
my previous statement doesn't disagree with your point here 
I was pointing out the idea that you don't have to be an artist to tell if something doesn't look right.
There is certainly a difference between a criticism and a critique.
i never disagreed i was just adding on
sorry if it came off rude/srs
yeah its different for everyone
im dead inside
my heart is a rock
so insults bounce off me
especially if its from some random on the internet
tbh, in art you kinda have to be prepared to get shitty feedback like this. It happens and all you can do is ignore it. I deal with this a lot in person and online and it's best not to take these things personally.
on the other hand
i have received twitter validation
i am now a real artist
i can definitely understand that nonartists can still give proper critique and opinion, but i personally think unless you know how they can try and fix it (even if its just saying "i dont think the background lighting blends well with the foreground" it can help a bit)
it sucks, but people suck too...
imo the best way to promote the value of a good critique is to be patient and give people proper critiques if they ask.
so basically what im saying i guess is that unless you can pinpoint what you find strange dont really say anything?? idk if this makes any sense
i mean
as an artist
when you put yourstuff out there
its gonna be seen by non artist
and non artist have the ability to see if something is objectively good or not
you don't get very far when you start telling people how they should react. Lead by example instead.
and they can point it out
it makes perfect sense, if they can’t back up what they say or intentionally mean then it gets lost in translation lol
theres a different between just pointing something out and being mean
if nobody is asking for critique and you come onto my page with unsolicited advice i will be deleting what you said
unsolicited critiques suck ass tbh
and people that do that can heck off
I'd delete the comment too.
consent is important in all scenarios is what im saying
i havent gotten a lot
I hate this so much honestly lol
i think im going to put in my bios to not critique unless asked because common sense isnt that common
When it comes to doing art for other people, there comes to a point when your vision as an artist is overruled by what the client wants 🙃
It fucking sucks, but then again when you get assignments sometimes it's best not to get too personally attached.
Lowkey hate it, but sometimes I'm just a pair of hands creating art...
commission me , kthxbye bye lol
to some extent
i feel like you have to be prepared for stuff like that if youre gonna put your work out there
yeahhh
im okay with critique for assignments but if im just doing what i want from my art, fuck off or get your comment deleted
it might suck but
dont put too much value in what people say
cause if youre gonna put your work out there people are gonna talk
the way my brain works is incredibly influenced by things because of my psychoses
to nae's point, someone's always gonna be a negative jerk. Someone's always gonna hate your stuff, but someone else is gonna love everything about it.
this ^^
if someones gonna be a negative nanny on my post they get deleted
if they continue its a hard block <3
one person's opinion is just one person's opinion. Take random internet people's comment with a grain of salt.
i take note of all bitches on my page 😊
sounds like work to me
if i get a negative comment id just leave it there and use it as fuel
time to roast marshmallows by the fire

i have to get rid of stuff like that because, once again my psychoses makes my brain very sensitive to influence
bitches got to eat
people are allowed to have their opinions, but I usually just leave it unanswered so they look like a fuckin clown.
exactly
not responding or acting on hate comments is the best response
a lot of times people do it simply to get a rise out of you
they just look like lil crybabies alone in their corner
yea...don’t give idiots a platform is all I can say, you’re not paid enough to police whiny piss babies about their feefees
which makes them look like a fucking clown
imo the best thing to do with anyone like that is to ignore to make it crystal clear that you couldn't possibly give less of a shit about their tiny insignificant comment
that may work for others but i have to get rid of it because influence
just delete it
ive had people say shit about my art mid conversation
im not about to stop my whole convo to reply to em
thats what ive been saying
but don't give them a reason to exist
If I had to react to negative shit constantly , I’d be making mad bank lmfao
tbqfh I grew a tough skin because of art LMFAO
you just cannot let those things get to you
i grew a tough skin cause of life
people cant say anything new to me because my brain already does it for me <3
no action is sometimes the best action
but the influence can fuck me over if im in the middle of a psychotic break so i have to be careful
same, but it's a lesson well worth learning in some form or another
if that was the case for me then id just turn off comments completely
im always walking on glass because i can never tell when im in a psych break until its over
I also got my first slightly anon hate on Tumblr recently, hilarious
you're responsible for your own headspace, so whatever you gotta do to take care of your mental health you do that.
I love tumblr anons
i have this one person that dmed me a bunch of shit then blocked me
to this day i look at it and laugh
I deleted it cause I gave zero fucks and nothing of value was lost
/j
deleted and blocked <3
all because I refuse to put anti hashtags on my shit...out of all things
if you gotta go anon to give the hate then like… chief….
why be negative, when you can get blocked off my page LMFAO
🤡
LOGEEKS HOW DOES THAT WERK
its so easy to encourage someone to be better rather than put them down
i remember this dude got so mad cause i wanted to comm someone to draw my oc
but he only did furry art [my oc is a human] and i denied him
oh sounds like they need a Jesus
tell them to pee their pants
“you ruined my life” bye im laughing 😂
LMAO
theres so much more of that convo that i cant send in this sever
but basically this dude was like
you didnt want to comm me now im gonna do notalive
id be laughing it up in the studio
TBH y'all will laugh but sometimes just responding with "pee pee poo poo" or "goo goo ga ga" is the best response
if
LMAO

laughter is the best medicine as they say...
LMAOOO
”YOU RUINED MY LIFE”
“Let’s Play 8-Ball!”
i love that "when i blocked u u decided to report me instead of blocking me"
the funny part is that he didnt know i was a mod in the art server he was trying to get me to comm him in
and i warned him for being rude
bro he even emailed me

but at least its nice to know he didnt try to suck up and hated on everyone equally
i dont understand how it’s so hard to be nice for some ppl lmao
i wonder if i can find it.....
the emilas are just
imagine being that much pee pee poo poo
i still cant believe its real

I need to eat I just kinda woke up
oh yeah
food
i need that
also another pro tip, copy paste the text below:
"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."
eaaat friend!!
Feed me wine Leah
PEE PEE POO POO PEE PEE POO POO 
i cracked up so hard right here
u jus woke up chouuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I LOVE
being nice to mean people
makes them an instant clown
atleast he's self aware
damn
this was a good laugh
now im motivated to go do some art
thank you for making me look at old emails

yes
success is the best revenge friends
turn yo spite into productive energy
LMFAOO
ae sth e t ic
^^^agreed
That is gorgeous 
So pretty 😍
what is he calling you
"you pathetic little insignificant bipedal critter" OR WHATEVER THE @*#)/ THAT MEANS
that looks super cool and i really love the icons. are these on pc or mac?
looks like pc to me
for any of you who use CSP, any way to restore default brushes that you've deleted?
iirc this should work
if not then you can just download the default brushes from the csp assets store
altho with the new update a lot of the default brushes are gone so you wouldnt be able to get them like this
youd have to download
Okay thank you sm nae 
it workeddd omg 
np
i had to google it after my dumbass deleted the design pencil
surprised i remembered tho
in my case it's the flat watercolour brush,, it's v good 
i dont think ive ever used it actually
lemme just
make a note of that for the next time i colour

smookie it's going to be okay 
Mayhaps
Hayhnot
Oh yeah, I lost my discord account to a hacker in case anyone wondering what happened
Because I'm stupid yay
nooo
No sum, discord team still didn't help me, and that hacker changed my account identity, blocked people and left servers, guess it won't be possible to recover all of that either way but oh well, I don't care anymore
But this is not the right channel to discuss this, sorry lol
Yea i searched u in my friend list and on server and ur not here
I hope ur stuff is safe
Who knows...
I'll hope to calm down because I had a lot of shitty days lately
Maybe after I'll be better ima start drawing again
To ease the stress
Pls take care smook 

best of luck to you smook that sounds rough 
It happens, all my fault and I accept it
I've been also working out again to stop thinking about it
oh no
i was wondering why you had no roles
I... won't do anything until they reply back to me, I wonder if by any magic they can restore all of the lost servers and friends/dms
At least
i know how it feels to have to make a new account and like
abandon your old familiar one
i hope discord works stuff out tho
thank thank
people love the stuff you put zero effort in
agree w this, most of my most popular stuff is either stuff i did when im drunk... or messy pen tests 
maybe thats why im so devoted to my alcoholism passion for drinks 
i havent had ciders for... years...
Now I wanna see one of your drunk drawings 😂
That ^
aoife lmaooo you can go to my insta and guess which ones were drunk-
spoiler ~60% of my new stuff are,, whEZEE
Aaargh I can't look at everything because it wants me to log in 🙄
It's actually your 2nd ever post
ohh haha nah, smook not that one, that one i just did when i was HappyTM (which is an extinct emotion rn rip)
Hm hm
also that one's oldddd holy shit
I miss the times when things were websites and not apps with websites.
Tumblr was so much popular back then
i used tumblr to see edits lol
Tumblr used to be different. 
Oh deviantArt... what have you become
I used to meet so many likeminded people there who liked to do photography and draw. Now it's all kinky shit 
ive never browsed through dev art
wish i wouldve seen its better days at least
I still have an account there from 2007 (I think?)
It's a shame because it used to be a fun place.
I did some random sketches on it lol, but used dev just to follow a game developer
but my account has spiders, scorpions and a lot of dust ever since 201..6?
I can't even remember it
If Instagram had a decent to use website and didn't require the app, I wouldn't be so sad about devArt not being a thing anymore... but it's so hard to showcase art on IG
facts
reason why so many people run on twitter
it actually got better than any other app at sharing art
I think
When I used Twitter my shit just got stolen without credit 
speaking of
ive almost hit the 1 year for my art journey
that's harsh
STILL
guess they love sketchy stuff
i like twitter the most for sharing my art
for 1 people can interact on that site a lot more
and i dont need to go to my phone to post
it also doesnt kill the quality as bad as insta does
Recently I've considered going offline permanent for art and just do it for fun
and im not forced to use a square
But then you know... I hesitate
that was my first time drawing in a couple weeks actually
just didnt feel it
but again, it was designed to be a photography app
but then i saw beautiful pic of pretty boy and i just had to draw it even tho i fucked up his face
Yeah I agree, nae, the IG format is awful, the quality is better on Twitter and you can showcase the entire piece and upload from website or app. It iiis kinda better for sharing art.
But photography doesn't need to be square... usually it's rectangly :c
and that
honestly
it doesnt matter where you post
if someone wants to steal your art theyre going to
its just easier to steal on twitter
Ye true
but i download art from insta all the time
not to steal or anything
just to look at and study
and the IG algorithm is just- infuriating sometimes
my reach has dropped more than half bc i havent been posting consistently
it's just stressful so i give up on that
Also true :( you can't really see new stuff when IG just gives you the things with a million likes already.
🤡
i post on insta only if i remember
i cant be bothered to send my art to my phone
then post it
and try to figure out the weird ass cropping
