Why is there a boat-load of conversation about gaming here???
Like holy shit, I wanted to find a drawing and stopped scrolling after a full 90 seconds @neat anchor @fleet bramble @wide minnow
wide minnow
@short pulsar Well don't fucking ping be about what I can't change fam.
hard raft
we were talking about art but the conversation kind of flowed elsewhere
here ketama i posted these drawings if you want to look at something
short pulsar
I figured as much, hehe. It was just a lot of conversation, three hours worth? Nice drawing by the way. You've got that female form down better than Oda.
short pulsar
I'm not actually joking
i dislike the way Oda draws women, wasp/hourglass figure etc
hard raft
oh disliking it is fine
but his grasp on the form is great, (certainly way better than mine), he just chooses to draw it a certain way
short pulsar
There's just not much variety with feminine features, body, face, even hair.
The most diverse women we got was maybe in Amazon lilly.
Just by looking at the diversity in men's facial features and comparing it to the women in OP, you'll see immediately.
short pulsar
short pulsar
@A beginning is made, sorta... @graceful gyro , but I'm running out of paper quite quickly... may have to start over actually, but I'm so glad I got most of the facial features kinda right 😃
I could make his face a bit smaller by doing the curls closer to his face, then I might even have space left for the jacket-thing he has on.
I tried to make a beginning the curls by using this picture as a reference: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/a/a1/Cavendish_Anime_Infobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20140224010824
but your way of doing curls looks much easier to do in hindsight..
so it's a definite challenge for me, hehe...😅
I'm gonna put this one on hold I think and come back to it later. First do some other things while practising curls and roses 'n stuff.
rapid sun
I'm new here and i thought I'd share my shit
Wait
It wasnt supposed to be a link lmao
Hold on
hard raft
thats a pretty cool chopper
graceful gyro
@short pulsar that is great!!! I used the same pic as reference lmao good choice! Yeah, you could make his hair a bit curlier! Give the boy extra curls ahahah! He deserves them. Good job!
hard raft
@rapid sun it wont let you post pictures here until you join a faction
rapid sun
Thanks and got it
hard raft
did you draw the luffy in your pfp
short pulsar
Haha, there weren't that many that were good and didn't include Hakuba anyway. I did find his iris (eyes) to be a bit big in the picture, so I went with a middle-ground I'll do my best! @graceful gyro
This one was a pretty quick sketch (took like 25 minutes still), but I'm getting faster with better results 😃
How did you find out to do the curls that way?
graceful gyro
You mean how I did them?
short pulsar
Yeah
It's very different from the reference picture we've used.
But your way of doing curls is quite efficient
But I mean like, I can see how you did them.
I'm more curious how you came up with doing them that way
if that makes sense
graceful gyro
I basically just make "S" shapes parallel to each other, making them gradually smaller
I don't know, that's just how my brain told me to make them ahahha
short pulsar
I get what you mean yeah haha
I literally just started drawing like a month ago, so I don't really have that 'natural' just do it that way-mindset yet XD
graceful gyro
it's all experience! I've been drawing for 17 years so you're doing exceptionally good imo
short pulsar
awh thanks
I still depend a lot on finding inspiration elsewhere or copying another style or use a certain colour scheme
It's very difficult to do that all myself atm
I found some great tools that help as well
tracing paper to make things more symmetrical etc
that helped a lot with the sunny jolly roger I tried recently
This was like the whole process
Because I use alcohol markers, it's quite a lot of work lol
rapid sun
@drapollo no but i wish i did lmao
short pulsar
I did buy some elpise and circle handydandy tools, which are definite life- and most of all timesavers
short pulsar
hehe, yeah. I guess. but they are so much fun and beautiful
graceful gyro
@rapid sun your chopper is so good!!
short pulsar
I bought them as a present for my ex some time ago. A manga 12-piece promarker set
i noticed I could open the packaging and close it again ...
So i tried them lol
graceful gyro
good idea
I've bought some too, but I'm no good with traditional 😦
should practice more
graceful gyro
mostly colouring and inking.... pencil is fine in traditional... but if I use digital it's a whole different story
short pulsar
Having the right colours to begin with are what makes a huge difference, for things like skin colours!
graceful gyro
yeah, that's why I like digital XD
short pulsar
Did you see the O-tama i did ?
graceful gyro
I think I did! The one smiling?
short pulsar
yeah!
short pulsar
graceful gyro
aawwwww
short pulsar
I didn't spend a lot of time on the skin 😛
graceful gyro
it turned out great anywyay
short pulsar
and didn't have the right colour for her dress
so I had to abuse my blender. but it did give a strange rugged feel
This is like the stuff that's very difficult to do with digital
graceful gyro
blending?
short pulsar
Ah okay, well. in alcohol markers, they contain alcohol right, with the ink
A blender is a pen with clear alcohol without ink
you can soak up different colours in them for instance
you can pre-wet the paper. then do a line with a colour, and then 'wash' it out a bit with the blender
if that makes sense
You can see alcohol markers like... a unique pen
if you soak in one colour, it wouldn't be ruined forever
because the alcohol will keep flowing through it, thus cleaning it
it's like if you've ever painted, you'd just wash the brush, right?
I like the colouring more than the sketching
it brings life to the drawing you know
That's why I wanted to re-do and colour your drawing
give it life
clever drum
@graceful gyro holy shit thats a really good Zoro! 😍
graceful gyro
thanks @clever drum !! I'm in love with your icon
clever drum
Haha thank you 😂❤️
graceful gyro
Viva Zorolandoooo~
clever drum
💯
graceful gyro
yeah sorry @short pulsar I meant "blending?" in answer to your "This is like the stuff that's very difficult to do with digital", I was wondering if you were talking about blending
short pulsar
oooh
okay
Yeah
digital is great for clean stuff, but brush strokes and personal touches... difficult to do in a digital medium
clever drum
That’s debatable:0
short pulsar
No it isn't.
clever drum
short pulsar
It is difficult to do that in a digital medium
short pulsar
example?
clever drum
If you’re new to the medium ofc things such as those are gonna be difficult but I feel like with practice you can achieve those in a digital medium :0
short pulsar
Okay, but for example when i use my blender pen, it soaks up the ink but it will gradually thin out
Then i'd have to resoak
giving the whole colour a weird texture
you can see I was using a blender 😛
clever drum
Hmm
Fair point
But I’ve seen digital arts that were not clean, in a good way, with varying brush strokes and whatnot
short pulsar
Yeah for sure!
clever drum
It’s not impossible is what I’m saying, tho it may certainly be difficult
short pulsar
exactly
graceful gyro
@short pulsar alllow me to disagree... you can achieve a pretty much realistic paint look with digital as well, it just depends on what brushes and programs you use
short pulsar
I immediately didn't say it was impossible to do it, just that it's difficult 😉
graceful gyro
this is digital
actually, I've learned to paint like this before I learned how to achieve a polished and neat look in digital like the Zoro above... it's all up to what you want to do with your art, and it's not too difficult in my opinion.. I couldn't do this traditionally, for example
Art and technique are very subjective
clever drum
Ooooh
Interesting that you learned something like this before that style you used with Zoro, I’d imagine it’s the other way around :0
short pulsar
yeah...
graceful gyro
it depends on how you learn, and what result you're after really
if you start from traditional like I did, I'd say is much more normal to approach digital in a traditional way... so simply using a brush and painting
I started with traditional, although I wasn't very good at it
if you start straight from digital, it's more likely you start by colouring using flats and such
but I'm only talking from my experience
clever drum
I’ve never been a painter in a sense, my style is closer to what you’ve done with Zoro, tho I wish I could do something like the image above 😂
graceful gyro
trust me, you've only got to sit down and try and look at other art like this, and eventually you'll be able to paint like this and probably better
as i said... I've done it for 17 tears.. you need time
clever drum
I see
short pulsar
I mean like, this isn't clean by any stretch: https://i.redd.it/wyhp7annzu311.png
clever drum
It’s really hard to imagine for me ig? I’m really centered around lines in my drawing so I can’t even begin to imagine 😂
Yes more like that ^
short pulsar
not done by me obviously
graceful gyro
you've got to try, but it's always good to do what you're comfortable with, so if you prefer lines, use lines! I prefer sketches too
clever drum
I’ve recently entered the digital art medium myself... once you go in you can’t come out tbh, it’s all I do now
short pulsar
what do you mean with lines? XD
i'm feeling like i'm not understanding something obvious here
clever drum
The last image they posted wasn’t centered around lines like the one you posted, as opposed it was made up of brush strokes rather than lines
short pulsar
well for me, nothing beats paper. i spend enough time on a computer as it is 😛
Hm okay?
clever drum
You still not getting it? 🤔
clever drum
Oof...

I've never understood that emoticon, and still now don;t.
clever drum
I’m just staring 
short pulsar
I actually have to hover over with my mouse to see what the emoticon is
Because I can't see most of them from my couch
I'm talking to you on a wireless keyboard sitting on my couch, staring at a 40 inch television which is hooked up to my desktop as a second monitor
I'm at 4 metres away from the screen
so most emoticons are very small
short pulsar
two very contradicting statements?
short pulsar
redundant as in not useful..?
clever drum
😂
short pulsar
most people just sit in front of their laptops or computers/desks, or even on their phones
But nope, i'm usually chilling from my couch while chatting on here.
keyboard on my lap
wireless mouse on the edge of the couch xD
ethernally between not falling and falling off the couch
Luckily there's a wall behind it, and my mouse is like the perfect width to barely not be able to fit between the couch and the wall lol
clever drum
Lol nice
clever drum
Lol it’s fine
short pulsar
anyway, i'm gonna be listening to some pink floyd and maybe suck at trying to draw someting lol
short pulsar
It can turn out great I suppose if you're already a good artist, but i've just started out, so if I do anything now it's really gonna be shit
and I don't mind
I'll still have fun
I just won't post it here, that is xD
clever drum
short pulsar
besides, the stuff i'm seeing, i couln't even begin to draw them
clever drum
That’s a mooood... 😬
short pulsar
as an engineer and math entousiast i've always been fascinated with fractals
I'm seeing stuff like that but in all different shapes.
and it moves, like how do you even draw that
it's not as simple as tracing what you're seeing lol hahaa
like this shit
hard raft
personally i could never get into digital art
i think one of the problems is that i don't really care about colors and affordable colors is one of the biggest advantages of digital art
and i havent found a way of drawing digitally that is comfortable to me on the same level as nibs
hard raft
like a nib pen
short pulsar
Ah okay. Yeah, there are great solutions with touchpads out there these days
hard raft
hard raft
yeah for sure a lot of manga artists draw digitally and it's become really hard to tell what's traditional and what's digital
but i really romanticize the traditional process with ink
so it's a lot more fun / motivational for me
to draw this way
hard raft
yeah you can erase as much as you want, but with inking you have to use white-out or white ink and it's just really inconvenient
but i like the inconveniences
short pulsar
But then again, finding creative ways to cover up some mistakes is also part where the creativity comes in
hard raft
well, it's kind of dumb reasoning, but i see it as like "all the manga i love was made like this, so i should be able to make something good like this, too"
but again, digital inking these days can imitate real nibs and ink very successfully, so it really doesn't matter at this point
short pulsar
yeah, but for me it's mainly about the fun I have personally.
I don't have to deliver a beautiful, faultless product
what kinds of ink do you use?
any personal favorites ?
hard raft
i use pilot drawing ink, it looks like this
anyway about delivering a faultless product
i agree that it being faultless isn't a worthy goal, but i like for things to be beautiful, or at least i want something that i think is beautiful
ill give you an example
this sanji drawing
there are a lot of things i dont like about it
short pulsar
yeah okay, you'd like to make something you would be proud of
hard raft
his right leg is too short, because the paper just ended there, and that's why it's also a totally straight line at the bottom
and that would definitely not happen if it was done digitally
also, i dont like how his fist looks, it doesn't look three dimensional at all, and it's awkward
now i can fix that with white-out, but it's a lot of work, so i just don't bother
and if it was digital art, i would probably fix it
so it's a flawed drawing because of that
but i still like it a lot, and i think it looks great
short pulsar
The shading with the white or left blank paper is actually pretty darn nice
hard raft
thank you
short pulsar
Most people don't even notice those little details
but then again, if there are a lot of them, they can add up and give the drawing a weird vibe.
These limitations of a traditional medium sure are a challenge
prepping is key
hard raft
yeah, the initial pencil drawing has to be really solid, and then the inking is fine, i guess.
short pulsar
do you immediately start with ink or first sketch with a pencil?
hard raft
anyway, you said you're pretty new to drawing seriously, right?
oh no no i definitely sketch wtih a pencil haha
short pulsar
haha okay, otherwise it'd be nuts if you did that instantly
hard raft
i mean there are doodles i do in class that are straight with a pen, but you can't do that if you're drawing seriously
short pulsar
yeah, I just started like a month ago
hard raft
i see
but it seems like you're drawing a lot, so that's good
i mean i see you posting stuff here often
short pulsar
yeah, well. I have time now and vacation
in two weeks i'll be working full time on my internship at a construction site
<-- civil engineer
hard raft
oh that's cool
short pulsar
I do keep getting better, more efficient and faster
hard raft
did you have to take some architecture-related courses in college?
short pulsar
There is definite progress
Not really in design, but I can draw what the architect would want and calculate if it's possible or make it possible structurally, stuff like that
hard raft
oh i wasn't thinking of design, i was thinking like technical sketching
hard raft
that's cool
do you have any goals with your art? like something you want to be able to do in the future
short pulsar
Hmm, not really,..
well
if i really think about it. I want to be able to draw what's in my mind and do more perspectives. For example, I find it very difficult to draw a character from an angle I haven't seen before, or without using a reference.
I don't only draw manga stuff 😛
hard raft
i see i see
short pulsar
this was one of my first drawings
I was very lucky to get the form right, if it's not symmetrical it looks 'off'
this was without using any tools for that such as tracing paper
short pulsar
I think so, I can see when something looks 'off'. But it can be hard to figure out exactly what is causing it
but with a simple form such as a heart it can be easy
with manga characters or hands/limbs, it's more difficult, wouldn't you agree?
But in order to get a feel for such things, you'd have to start simple I guess 😃
hard raft
yeah for sure there are things i just can't see at all, if you mirror your drawing you can spot a lot of stuff without your eye's bias
and then whenever i do
i'm like
holy shit this looks way less right than i thought lol
short pulsar
yeah
hard raft
but still, there are people who wouldn't be able to draw even a simple symmetrical shape without guidelines
so for someone without experience, it's a good indicator, i think
short pulsar
I did a map for the park I live at a few weeks back to get some extra cash
Ah okay thanks 😃
I did wore my eraser on my pencil down to the nib almost lol
hard raft
that looks really clear and easy to understand
short pulsar
it does the job, if you look at the numbering, you can see it's scattered everywhere, but nothing I can do about that
I printed it on a trespa board, the stuff they use for advertising signs, they can withstand rain, cold, UV from the sun, everything
hard raft

short pulsar
The netherlands 😃

yeah i imagine a lot of tourists come to the netherlands so you probably meet people from all around the world
short pulsar
I mostly met them in Portugal
And I don't often come to touristy places 😛
I used to go to underground raves here.
and in Portugal I went to Boom festival, psytrance.
lots of psychedelic goodies there
hard raft

but they told me there's even an underground scene in israel
out in the desert they sometimes hold raves
hard raft
yeah they have those, they call them nature parties

i'm not really into that whole scene but my sister loves them
anyway our earlier conversation inspired me to draw a bit
so i'm gonna go do that

@tender edge if you're interested and there's any way i can help, i can try helping you with designing the characters or something. I did it for Gold a while back, drew his character for his story, and he liked it.

well the offer is there if you want it
i can also try imitating whatever style you want, it doesn't have to look like my normal stuff

I'm not doing perfect sketching because I'll re-do it with fineliner anyway and then erase all the pencil stuff

original character
mild haven
Glad you like it, his name is Olin Sovie. In my universe he is descendant of the gods of Choros - meaning, space, in greek. Every physical and logic of life has its own category of power; space, time, motion, temperature, conciousness... etc etc. Anyway, he is the god of space and another other power which I am currently thinking out - yes, 2 powers. In the universe, you have 2 parents, so 2 powers - 1 power out of the 2 parent's power is chosen (at random) and inherited by the child. Olin can manipulate the logics of physics on his own category, in his case, Space, at a certain extent. And yeah... that's about it for now ^^
near pecan
Olin Sovie sounds like a very powerful god. I really like this character.
What about personality wise? Are you still working on that?
Good job on your OC, it’s really well thought out so far. Keep going!
mild haven
He is a rather stoic, yet caring person. He doesn't show emotions easily. Some say he is insensitive, they don't really know his character, unlike those close to him. Also, he'll most likely keep his sanity at moments where an average person would lose his mind.
Thanks for your support, too ^^
And btw, this is the main character of my story haha
mild haven
I've yet to come out with a lot of stuff before setting up the plot and all of the characters. So, no story so far; only a few things that I had in mind, but that's about it. Thanks for your interest

Ah that’s okay
Keep posting here, I love your character so far and I wish you good luck

Woooow
If you’re using a pencil then that’s even cooler :0 really thought it was a pen, those are some straight lines 👌
final junco
no, I just put more pressure to the tip of the pencil to draw the bolder line 😄
altho the lightning was good too when I took that pic

Either way, very nice 😊

i am always a little bit surprised when drawings come out right
like i'm a little suspicious of it
when i ink stuff, i'm surprised that i was able to draw it in the first place
well, it's not that it's extremely good or anything, but i guess as an artist you're constantly improving
so you're always a little bit better than you remember yourself being, i think
assuming that you're constantly drawing anyway
brisk perch
Practice makes perfect, and whatnot
short pulsar
I notice that as well, drap. At first I wrote it off of being lucky, but luck runs out. If you keep noticing this, it's not luck, that's improvement for ya
final junco
yup! also there's one point when you feel that everything you draw looks sucks, but actually thats when you start noticing mistakes, and you're making a big improvement.
fleet bramble
it improves but still sucks
plain snow
Made some improvements
thanks to advice from doom
Huh
It's looks lighter when I look at it from my phone for some reason
hard raft
yeah it was kind of jarring before when luffy and urashima's skin tones were so close and in general luffy was pretty yellow
so this is much nicer 👌
plain snow
thanks
I also fixed that horrendous kimono
oh I just realised
it was my monitor making everything look washed out
spiral flame
mfw when some phone displays are better than monitors xd
Still looks very cool, you got me into colouring dude. It's super relaxing
spiral flame
Luffy's right leg bothers me so much in that panel tho, it gets worse the longer I look at it. The angle is so weird

Yeah I thought that looked neat, the only thing I really don't like is the colour I chose for the scabbard but I got impatient lmao
Still trying to figure out a way to colour the clothing without fucking up its outline though
plain snow
I just redraw it if I fuck up
Weird
Where's my second post
The clothing in my first one looked really bad cause I half-assed it
I really like the clouds look this arc
spiral flame
I just didn't pay any attention to it at all and it looked hella weird without ANY outline in the clothing lmao
hard raft
you guys seem to be talking about pictures
but i cant see any at all
@plain snow @spiral flame
plain snow
Wtf
spiral flame
Wait did they get removed? Did I break any rules? lol
hard raft
OHHH
plain snow
At least tell us
hard raft
they should've probably told you yeah
but i just realized
this is #art
so you can't have content from the manga here
because spoilers
plain snow
OHH
hard raft
yeah i guess he didnt think about it
i dont know
i mean i dont think there are actually any anime-only users that are really active here and would see it...
but it is the policy
plain snow
Ah then my bad
spiral flame
Nope
plain snow
You can go ahead and remove the other one if you want too
spiral flame
But I get it now, np

well fuck me huh

you missed one a bit further up from Vain

Or I'll just delete it

Sure and thanks
hollow pewter

plain snow
Nah
plain snow
I don't even want to try doing that hah
hard raft
how come?
hollow pewter
I wanna start
hard raft
didnt you draw when you were a kid or something
not drawing seems so strange to me
i mean i get not having drawing as a serious hobby
but not drawing at all like for fun
plain snow
It's cause I usually don't have that much free time cause of uni
hollow pewter
I just don't know what to do
hard raft
uni is the free time to draw silly
hollow pewter
like it looks easy but it all seems off
hollow pewter
I'm gonna start
spiral flame
I get discouraged when I start because I'm really bad at it and I hate doing stuff I'm not moderately good at when I start
hard raft
yeah i think what happens with most artists is
they draw more than other kids so they get a lot of practice in
and they get through that stage of being REALLY bad
when they're too young to be self conscious or have standards
but it is hard to start something when you feel like you have no aptitude for it whatsoever
hollow pewter
I saw this channel of this dude that couldn't draw for the life of him and he just went for it
plain snow
So I can't draw really well
hollow pewter
went from trash to college professor
spiral flame
Yeah, and I'm honestly horrendous at it. My artistic side is in writing if I were to say I had any
hard raft
there are actually a lot of resources for adults starting to draw who want to be serious about it (i mean, serious hobbyists that put x hours every week, like picking up an instrument or something)
hollow pewter
Art style inspired by invader zim
hard raft
there's a good subreddit with lessons starting from drawing a box and moving on to bigger things, eventually the people draw high quality vehicles and buildings and stuff
it's really nice to see improvement there
hollow pewter
I'm gonna really give it a shot
spiral flame
I might look into it after I finish my term papers for this semester
hollow pewter
I wanna do graphic design or something along that line and I can't draw
feelsamazing
spiral flame
Until then I'll just keep colouring manga panels to relax
hard raft
well shay if you get your creative juices going from writing then you can just focus on that
spiral flame
Lmao, it's honestly just practice, don't get discouraged and you'll get there
hard raft
or music or whatever, drawing is just one thing
but i think particularly for people who are big manga/anime fans
drawing can be really fulfilling and fun
spiral flame
Yeah I just really like drawing digitally
I mean I already have a MS Surface, so I don't need to go anywhere and get stuff
I can just do it wherever whenever
hard raft
what kind of stuff do you write shay?
spiral flame
Poetry mostly, I attempted some sort of novel once but I started feeling too pressured to keep writing so I stopped
Reading-wise I love plays but I'm not sure I'll ever attempt writing one. I'll see
hard raft
that's pretty nice, i would be happy to read some poems if you ever feel like sharing them
spiral flame
it's mostly edgy stuff that I posted on tumblr a while back
and I mostly keep a contemporary style which many people do not like, it's very free
if you're still interested I can PM you, seeing as the poems are sorta personal

Anyone is able to explain to me what the deal with furries is in 2018?
Why do some people even consider themselves not to be 100% human spiritually. What is all this.
How could this happen

i guess they have a hard time relating to other people and they find comfort in thinking that they're not supposed to be human

i have reached a new level of retarded
in the manga i'm drawing at hte slowest rate humanly possible, there's a guy with a flower pattern on his clothes
and i have a reference for where exactly each flower is and every time i draw him i make sure the pattern is consistent
and i took great pride in that
now the other main character is a girl with a much simpler outfit, she just has a belt that has little masashi kishimoto style squiggles
and i just realized that every time i draw her, the belt is going a different way
oh my god these two are on the same page even
i was so fucking obsessed with getting each one of the fucking flowers right and i didnt even think about this pattern with a much simpler rule god
winged shard
This is the reason low standards are needed
hard raft
the standards are already pretty low since i know my art just can't be where i want it to be
which is why for things like this i try to not fuck up

I do not like drawing digitally, you're right
I prefer to do things on physical paper, idk why..
but so far so good! I also have my days where I do really really bad, and days like today where I feel like I can go places

Sorta finished it, ended up doing whatever for the painting part cause, one, I am lazy, and two, I still lack skill

also i like the little detail on the edges of the aura, and they obviously go away if you black out the ends too much
