not gonna work much on him since he got slapped here daily

#

by his own doing of course

lament stump
#

Well idk if i hit myself or i ask you to hit me

#

Next time I'll phrase it right,ty for understanding

dusky trail
#

said the guy regularly got slap by AI-chan

lament stump
#

Well that's cuz i say curse words, ai chan don't like that

shadow nebula
#

I'll add to this by saying, don't give unsolicited critiques. This goes for several people in this chat. You might be well meaning but in the art community its actually quite rude and off putting

dusky trail
#

sai clearly staring at me there sob sob

pliant saddle
#

^^❗
When I post in this channel I'm generally looking for critiques cuz I'll get some knowing the people here.. but it's not necessarily the same for others TeriHuehue

shadow nebula
#

others as well. If you have nothing good to say and the artist hasn't asked for a critique then say nothing

#

if you want a critique make sure to say it. This is a wip and art discussion channel not a critique channel

onyx breach
#

Be like me, I barely have any free time to even read what the hell is going on here everyday

dusky trail
#

and you wonder why

#

but well, Aki just have to hit his "ban for bad word" daily quota i guess

pliant saddle
#

Oh he's muted again SirinConcern

#

Anyways.. before I forget the seele cosplay arrived TeriTeri the seller forgot to put in the chains and gloves so I'm waiting for that 🗿

dusky trail
#

that cat is still too thin, you need to feed it some more before harvest is hair

pliant saddle
#

He's just a baby... SakuraSad

dusky trail
#

i still personally like Seele based outfit than Nymph

pliant saddle
#

Which one?

dusky trail
#

probably because that umbrella looking skirt that bother me

pliant saddle
#

This was the only one I could find KianaFish

dusky trail
#

i always enjoy detachable sleeve type

pliant saddle
#

Like miku style..
This one doesn't have sleeves either though 🤔

dusky trail
#

ya, Nymph only has glove

pliant saddle
#

I like both
She's so cute SakuraBomb

pliant saddle
dusky trail
#

well it most like her overall outfit is feel stiff to me~ the umbrella skirt, the puff shoulder pad, all the chains

#

it just not as fluffy as her Shallowtail

#

then again Shallowtail suppose to be a more nimble Seele

pliant saddle
#

Hmm
I don't rly wanna change her outfit too much.. RozaThink

dusky trail
#

well ya, the point of cosplay her is to keep it as it is

pliant saddle
#

So pretty
I wonder if I should buy thing highs for this.. they don't come with KianaFish

pliant saddle

#

Im so used to sn cheongsam that I forgot how the original sn looks like

thorny wasp
#

God my luck today

onyx breach
#

Sn's first outfit

pliant saddle
#

Ohh
That ones pretty too 🙏

dusky trail
#

the "i wish you can swap between two Seele so i can stare at the other one anytime i want" version

dusky trail
#

you can always became like this

lone wagon
#

I still watch anime and read manga almost daily

#

But i only have timr and engery for my art only in the weekends now

#

When i comr back from work everyday I'm like a zombie

dusky trail
#

well at least the amount of anime i want to watched nowaday is quite less in compare

#

only few in each seasons i care enough to watch

lone wagon
#

Lmao yeah

#

Must be good to have supportive parents. I would have way more time for art if my parents actually believe that art could make me a career

#

Last weekend I was working on my art and my mum got furious, I spent almsot all day on it. And she came to me and was like you're an adult ans you're still drawing

#

How pathetic are you

#

Being an adult and drawing?

#

She thinks it's onyl for children, they rally underestimate art it's infuriating

dusky trail
#

well that is normal~ i do some minor stuff for money to so my parents won't complain too much

#

but ya, stuff like art is not something people willing to treat as a job

lone wagon
#

I told them that I'll work while practising and home instead of going to uni. I sacrafice uni for my art while working and they agreed with me. But now that they're seeing me make money from not doing art they're extremely happy . However when they see me draw in my spare time

#

They get annoyed

#

They just dislike art in general

#

They hate being proven wrong, if i prove them wrong by making money woth art they're going to become salty

dusky trail
#

well it is hard for older generation to imagine you can get money from art like now after all

#

the same way they treat cartoon/anime as something just for kid

#

but let ignore all the violent visual it can bring

lone wagon
#

Yeah my parents thinks anime is for kids too. So one day I decided to play adult content anime on the big screen in thr living room

#

They nevee thought that again

dusky trail
#

so you finally show them Boku no Pico, you monster

lone wagon
#

I was like, mum maybe we should show your friend's toddler this anime

#

After all its just for kids am I right

dusky trail
#

well, sadly just like me, my parents are stubborn type so no matter what kind of stuff i show

#

give it a few day and they just bring up how anime and figurine are kid thing

#

even if it is bishoujo figurine

lament stump
#

And if you don't want to work in the industry you can do freelance and delay is a example of how it can make you a living

lone wagon
#

They know that but they never see anime liek games that make it big

#

They're like, if you're gonna draw why draw anime?

#

Why not do realism?

dusky trail
#

it is never easy to change people view from what they never try out

lone wagon
#

My mum keeps telling me. You're not gonna make money by drawing anime

lament stump
#

show them genshi,game how took all the awards this year

lone wagon
#

You didn't invent anime, it's already been done many times

dusky trail
#

people like that don't care if a game won an awards

lone wagon
#

You think you're gonna make it big by drawing anime like everyone else? It's not unique at all

dusky trail
#

you an literally show them a game that sold for billion and that won't change they view

lone wagon
#

When they're stubborn they're stubborn

#

Even if i start to make money with art

lament stump
#

Then start socials hanami,if you wait for the right moment to do so it's never gonna come, the faster you get recognition the beter

lone wagon
#

They're gonna be like

dusky trail
#

because unlike you, Hanami is too old now

lone wagon
#

Art you telling me that you made £20 today? So what? Are you gonna make that amount everyday? No

lament stump
#

Rn I'm more popular then you even tho your art is way better and it's only cuz i post my stuff

lone wagon
#

So what if you make money its not as much as how much you normally get in a NORMAL JOB

lament stump
#

But plsake socials i beg you

lone wagon
#

I'm not too old for social media

#

I'm 21 how old do you think i am shik?

lament stump
#

Your art is too good to not be posted online

dusky trail
#

plsake, is that a short word for "pls, for god sake"

lone wagon
#

I just dont like much popular social media cuz they're filled with spoilt children

#

Who pretend to be a hero for some likes

dusky trail
#

you just have to hang out with weirdo more

lament stump
#

..

lone wagon
#

If i start social media I'd get cancelled straight away

dusky trail
lament stump
#

JUST START IT HANAMI

dusky trail
#

like here we have artist draw about how they are saving up for the fav horse girl

lone wagon
#

And when I tell them how wrong they are and that they're idiots and I'd do whatever I want

#

They're gonna have tantrums

#

I see so many artists apologize to these idiots online and im like

north wraith
lament stump
#

I'm on socials for 4 months now, no one touched me... They are not gonna bully you straight away

lone wagon
#

Why why the hell would you do that?

lone wagon
lament stump
#

And then you say your parents view the world with Short eyes or how you say that

north wraith
lone wagon
#

Or they be like ill pay you with EXPOSURE

dusky trail
#

until your build enough fanbase and they will instantly bully back that negative one that is

lament stump
#

Social media os the best way to earn money as freelanc,like it or not

lone wagon
#

I'm not confident with my art yet I still think I'm sht

#

Until I can colour and get better I won't yet

lament stump
#

SO WHAT

dusky trail
#

Hanami is indirectly roasting Aki again

grave nymph
lament stump
#

Ppl like to see you grow on socials

grave nymph
#

but people still follow me because of my trashy art

lament stump
grave nymph
#

just start a Twitter account Hanami-sensei

#

I'd be fighting to be your first follower 👀

dusky trail
#

because there a taste for everyone, even for Shii

grave nymph
#

like seriously though Hanami-sensei

#

if you're gonna start socials

lament stump
#

I have like 6k views on my art and I'm shit but ppl see it

grave nymph
#

I'd advertise your account like a crazy fan

dusky trail
#

but well, it is never bad to have one even when you still learning

grave nymph
#

Just start it come on waves lightsticks

dusky trail
#

it is fun to see how your art progress over the years

grave nymph
#

you can also treat your account like an archive

lone wagon
#

My bf good with computers, I'm waiting for him first. My main reason is cuz I'd end up getting hacked

lament stump
#

...

grave nymph
#

set up 2fa

#

don't click suspicious links

#

and you're good '-')b

grave nymph
#

then you should change passwords

#

ASAP

dusky trail
#

said Shii after he clicked all my "sus" link

lone wagon
#

Ao im waiting until my current one is less busy cuz I ain't good with keeping myself secure online

#

Anyways gotta go back to work now

grave nymph
grave nymph
lone wagon
#

If im gonna start opening up art accounts properly I need to make sure I can keep myself safe first

grave nymph
lament stump
dusky trail
#

well i have to deal with plenty of weird comments back in DA, only really response if they actually make a point

north wraith
dusky trail
#

like that weird "father of 2 kids" ranting about how my art is unsafe and waste of my talent

#

and i just show "well i have a completely normal and safe" art folder right here that you clearly didn't check yet

#

and boi, i sure draw innocent looking stuff back then

grave nymph
dusky trail
#

but well, you have all the right to ignore or reject the stuff you don't want to deal with

lament stump
#

Shik

#

When did you 1st post about taking comms, on how many followers and stuff

dusky trail
#

i draw over 10 years now and you expect me to remember that?

lament stump
#

Yes

#

Now do

dusky trail
#

but if you check my pixiv then it about 3-4 months in

#

as for the follow, who know, since that was back when i still in DA

#

but i just set it up early without care

lament stump
#

I'm wondering when i should post it,ik it's still not the time but I'm just wondering

dusky trail
#

there is no harm on setting up early

#

not like the moment you set it up, ppl gonna flood in to ask for it

#

just set up the rule of what you want for commission and leave it there to dry

lament stump
#

I see ppl in da post a picture of taking comms and they display their works on that picture,i wanna do it to when i get some good works

dusky trail
#

just set up the page first =3=

#

you can always edit it after

lament stump
#

Wdym set up the page

#

Whole page or you mean just that post

dusky trail
#

in DA there is that journal thingy

#

that you can pin so it always on top

#

most people use that to set up commission page

#

or just do it in their about's section

lament stump
#

Okay I'll do one more artwork and then I'll set it up

dusky trail
#

like say

onyx breach
#

Ei ei

#

Setup multiple art pages in fb, Twitter, da, pixiv, and even Instagram. The more exposure you get the more likely ppl will see your art and eventually someone will come to you and ask for a commission

#

Be confident but also self aware

lament stump
#

I only didn't make Facebook

#

Should i?

onyx breach
#

Yshould, there's tons of art groups iut there

#

In fb

#

You can join them and advertise your artworks

lament stump
#

Okay I'll make it and then see how it all works and stuff

#

Ty

onyx breach
#

Np, my first social platform for art was DA but it didn't click for me. Probably because the drawings I made before doesn't fall into the popular genre so I went to fb and built up my rep and clients there. Went to Twitter, did the same thing, and now pixiv. Planning to go to fiver next year too.

dusky trail
#

more sites also reduce the chance of them banned or closed down

#

like DA and then Tumblr did to me...

#

thouggh in Tumblr's case, it is a self-destruct

#

"Hey~ let removed all the art that make up 80% of our community~"

onyx breach
#

I'm not fond of insta because of its mobile format. I just can't be bothered to save my art on my phone and upload art through mobile.

grave nymph
#

anybody have a good picture or guide that tells you how to color clothing folds? RozaThink

dusky trail
#

isn't one of the "sus" link i throw you have a clothe guide's book

grave nymph
#

..I

#

My guardian's literally behind me

dusky trail
#

good, then you can ask them to translate it for you

grave nymph
shadow nebula
#

You can also look up references similar to what you want

grave nymph
#

what are good sites to try and find references anyways?

#

can't use pixiv since no premium

#

trying to type in keywords though nothing useful shows up quite often

shadow nebula
#

Look up professional modelling photos or the specific article of clothing you’re trying to draw and find a photo that has a similar pose

#

It’ll take a bit of searching to find what you want but thats better than possibly using a drawn reference thats incorrect

grave nymph
#

ah

#

makes sense

#

right, I'm too narrow minded for this

dusky trail
#

until google lead you astray

grave nymph
#

tried to search drawn references and didn't consider the other options

shadow nebula
#

If you’re learning i recommend staying away from using drawn references unless they are done by a professional artist who studies realism

grave nymph
#

naruhodo

#

thank you for the heads up saiph-sensei 🙏

dusky trail
#

well just try not get in a habit of using too much reference

#

you may became too depend on it to think outside of the box

grave nymph
#

I actually have the opposite problem

shadow nebula
#

You should always use references, there is no such thing as too much

grave nymph
#

the [Not having enough references]

lament stump
grave nymph
#

and I often try to just wing it w

grave nymph
dusky trail
lament stump
#

If you get realism down it opens so much more

grave nymph
#

but it's not the only pathway

shadow nebula
#

Professional artists will always use a reference no matter how much they’ve studied. Its why drawings without references typically look a little weird

grave nymph
#

humu humu

#

making fanart, making designs, like literally everything

dusky trail
#

just try to able to see 3D out of that reference

#

like how Aki got stucked in that reference because he unable to tell how the body behave under the jacket

grave nymph
#

well that's

shadow nebula
#

Thats something you learn through learning figures and anatomy. You can’t expect someone who only just started to know. Thats a very advanced step

grave nymph
#

that reminds me to start doing gesture studies

dusky trail
#

well we did told him to practice framing reference from time to time

shadow nebula
#

Idk what you mean by framing since framing in art is referee to the composition

dusky trail
#

anyway, i gonna go focus on my stuff, do want to finish this draw today

shadow nebula
lament stump
#

It takes a lot of detarmination to do gesture studies for me, they all look like shit when i do it and i feel like it doesn't teach me anything

shadow nebula
#

Its going to look bad for a long time. Mine look terrible but i see improvement as i work

lament stump
lament stump
shadow nebula
#

I do them daily as well

lament stump
#

Also since i do traditional art as well,when im not home in school and in art class

#

I noticed that i stuggle with composition

#

I CAN'T GET IT LIKE EVER

#

Let me send a pic

shadow nebula
#

Learn rule of thirds and golden ratio

grave nymph
#

I guess composition’s basically where/what place you put stuff so it looks good

lament stump
#

Here composition is fucked...

grave nymph
#

what are you even aiming for anyways

lament stump
#

Here it's still bad

shadow nebula
#

Well its one object so its more like a sketch randomly thrown on a page

grave nymph
#

yep

lament stump
#

Idl how that line appeared on her face

#

This one is a wip and idk if composition is ok

shadow nebula
#

To know how to use composition you need to understand rule of thirds and golden ratio until then you won’t have a good grasp on it

grave nymph
#

yup

lament stump
#

Okay I can't focus on too kuch stuff at once, I'm still on learning human head...

#

But ill throw gesture drawings in

lone wagon
#

I'm impressed, it's been over a month and I still like the oc design that I did

#

How is this possible?

#

There's stuff I wanted to change but I still like it!

#

And aki I wanted to do a bit of both

#

I like character designong I think its fun

#

But i also love illustrating

#

I think im more of an illustrator though since I only really like character designing. I hate having to do concept arts for other things like backgrounds of the world aka world building, or objects like weapons, vehicles houses etc..

lament stump
#

then watch a link i sent you

#

it will motivate you for everything and FOR MAKING SOCIALS

#

@lone wagon

dusky trail
#

like say, your OC has a special bed or chair she love to sit and that will set there is a bed on her room

#

just slowly putting in detail on that world along with your OC's habit and you will slowly build up a room

#

and there you go, you will have your background

#

the more you build around your OC, the more that world will expand

#

specially if you didn't made your OC for a large world in the first place

#

another fun way to do it is "my diary" format

#

just make like your OC showing the viewers what she doing that day so you too can get the idea of how thing happen around your OC

latent sedge
#

@dusky trail follow your advice, it looks great FuHuaApprove

#

More curve added makes pose looks better

dusky trail
#

could probably put her crotch or filled up the skirt gap there

latent sedge
#

Ay, didn't noticed that

dusky trail
#

there also that one uncolor gap between her left knee and the skirt there

#

actually, why is there various white spot around her?

latent sedge
dusky trail
#

lol

latent sedge
#

Just a rough sketch, no need to be precise

dusky trail
#

well ya you can fill in manually later

#

though you didn't make the background color to just be in separated layer so it will be under everything?

#

it also a good way to help spot any weird left over spot when you color thing later

latent sedge
#

Background are seperated, the colour one is only one layer that's why i use Selection Tool alot

dusky trail
#

i usually separated skin/clothe/metal/hair/face color into separated layers

#

just incase i fuk it up then i don't have fix too much

#

it also easier to shade later

#

like say the hoodie there, if i separated the yellow part from the outfit, i can just dump the color bucket in for shading later

lone wagon

#

meanwhile... my over 200 layers draw..

pliant saddle
#

over 200?!

onyx breach
#

if your cpu isnt that strong sure but if it lifts, go ham with layers

latent sedge
dusky trail
#

sometime even different body part like open hand, grip hand and so on

lament stump
pliant saddle
lament stump
dusky trail
#

like their hair alone already took 3-4 layers

#

and so, when i draw something with this many colors, it can created a lot of layers

pliant saddle
#

i see.. how does whatever device you’re using handle that SakuraWonder

dusky trail
#

it is a $900 PC i saved up after few years

#

don't want to keep using my brother's second hand laptop

pliant saddle
#

makes sense FuHuaApprove i see it was worth it

dusky trail
#

i need somewhere to put all that after all

whole cloak
#

even for scenes I rarely use over 30 layers

dusky trail
#

i'm the overly careful type~

lament stump
#

ever since i started painting i use like 10 to 20 layers

latent sedge
lament stump
#

looks nice

latent sedge
dusky trail
#

just fix up the line and give her a bright and cheerful kind of background then you are good

This person obviously got lip fillers

#

Its trendy

Although I'd personally wouldn't want one

lament stump
#

I hatelips

lone wagon
#

To me I think its the neck thats making it look a bit odd

#

Can I see your reference?

lament stump
#

It's okay to draw them when head is facing forward but damn when it curves..

#

Um sure

#

Her head above the ear is bigger then i drew it

lament stump
lone wagon
#

The back of the head is too small and the ear needs moving a little I think

#

The head is not a perfect round shape

#

Sorry I'm on a bus so it's hard to draw it nicely on the phone

dusky trail
#

you really need to fix that weird habit of throw the ears all the way to the side of the head

lament stump
#

but i saw it

#

ty tho I'll shange it up

#

i did that in 50min I'm starting to get faster, I'm exausted cuz of school so i wont draw anymore but tomorrow I'm literally going to try and finish it whole in 1 day, idk if it's possible for me but we'll see

Her forehead is quite flat and you rounded it

maybe do some ear studies?

i reccomend 16 inch vers if you have the budged tho

dusky trail
#

ear too low

#

even in that reference of your

#

you can see the ear is line up to her eye there

lament stump
#

i fucused so much of getting it into a okay shape that i lost perspective of whole picture and that happend

#

it happens a lot :/

marsh zinc
#

oh the ears a bit slanted too, if you rotate it a bit and line it up with the eyes properly it should be good

edgy cairn
#

so which kamvas should i get

onyx breach
#

If you're just planing to draw at home, buy the 24" with qhd or uhd

#

If you want to take it elsewhere get the 16"

hardy yew
#

wait you guys bring your tablet places

There are ppl who draw at home and office if they're an illustrator

that kind of money isn't avalible to everyone

i remmember it but why did they ask about 13 inch one today

Here, trash art made out of boredom

#

Probably for @dusky trail

lament stump
#

you could've said a doodle instead of that whole sentence but okayy

dusky trail
#

nah, spread armpit just not as special

onyx breach
#

But ye good pen, strong cpu, almost no perceptible pen lag

#

As shown in the vid

#

My main problem personally is that there's no keyboard forvshortcuts so inhavevto press them using pen which is a hassle

onyx breach
lament stump
onyx breach
#

No, once it detects my pen, the tablet pretends my hand don't exist

#

And ye my palm is pressed on the tab

lament stump
#

my dumb friend says that it makes a problem for him and he uses the same thing

#

thing as in tablet

onyx breach
#

Guess thats why you call him dumb

#

Perhaps his tabs palm rejection isn't great

lament stump
#

it's the same tablet idk if it can happen

onyx breach
#

Never happened to mine so far

#

I draw with a normal writing position on my hand and it never detects my palm except when I put my pen away

lament stump
#

I'll tell him his tablet should detect the pen and not his hand then lol

onyx breach
#

Maybe its the app he's using

#

Im using clip studio

lament stump
#

he uses the same thing, I'll go talk to him..

edgy cairn
lament stump
#

get 16 then

onyx breach
#

Ahh then a 16" will do

#

The xp pen 16 pro dances around 400 bucks, not sure if they're having Xmas sale rn tho

edgy cairn
#

If its around 400 I could prob afford it myself

#

Can u send link?

onyx breach
#

Ayy would u look at that

lament stump
#

:((((((((

#

stoppp

#

me sad

onyx breach
#

Well get em next time, son

hardy yew
#

tfw aki got screwed over by birth rng

onyx breach
#

If there's a best time to buy a tab it would be now

edgy cairn
#

They say theyd prefer a more professional one over 500 (up to 800)

onyx breach
#

say no more

#

this one same size but no shortcut buttons

hardy yew
#

only good thing about holidays is dem sales

lament stump
#

artist 16 tp is i think 600 something and it's 4k with touch screen

#

but ig 24 inch is better then 4k 16

onyx breach
#

Yup

hardy yew
#

tfw my tablet has better graphics than my laptop itself

#

zzzz

#

too broke

onyx breach
#

24 also sports qhd so its still better than fhd

lament stump
#

ofc it does

#

every tablet that;s like over 400 has insane graphics compared to normal screens

hardy yew
#

lmao

#

i should probably get a pc but i wanna see how long my laptop could survive before it perishes on me

onyx breach
#

Extract as much performance and money as you can from your laptop before it retires

hardy yew
#

indeed

#

ill probably get a better computer or smt when i hit my college years, its too early right now to dump more money

lament stump
#

that's what i did to my phone, poor guy died on me and he could've never been recharged again...

#

sob sob

onyx breach
#

look aki im not drawing dead ppl anymore, instead im drawing someone who takes care of the dead

lament stump
#

all i can see is that someone is takeing care of her

edgy cairn
#

ok

#

so in conclusion of my drwaing tablet thing

#

my parents said they wanna get this

#

out of all of it

#

good or no, ig?
theyre mainly doing it cause they can split payments into months

hardy yew
#

@onyx breach

thin escarp
#

Wacom used to be good

#

I dont know how it is currently

onyx breach
#

@edgy cairn the xp pen artist 16 pro is better than this, don't buy this.

#

If you buy this you're only paying for the brand name

#

for comparison
artist pro 16 | wacom 16
99% adobe rgb 92% adobe rgb
8 shortcut keys none (you can buy the wacom dial but thatll inflate the price even more)
2 scroll wheels 👆

other things not mentioned are specs that both are roughly equal to

hardy yew
onyx breach
#

Yes

shadow nebula
#

not really, wacom has better software and less bugs as well as their drawing tablets last longer

edgy cairn
#

especially cause i also want to get it to create comics, so i also need to be able to afford clip studio paint ex

#

but are there alternative apps for comic making? i dont wanna spend 220 for one app

shadow nebula
#

you can make comics in any program

onyx breach
#

Almost every drawing apps can create comics

grave nymph
#

yup

edgy cairn
#

oh

#

so should i just go clip studio pro instead of ex

shadow nebula
#

if you go with that tablet look into the bugs since you may have to deal with them

grave nymph
#

I guess CSP has some features that make it easier or something

edgy cairn
#

i mean, ive dealt with a fair amount of bugs on my current ipad, im sure its better tho

#

my ipad lags a lot, and if i have over a certain amount of drawings in procreate it crashes a lot

My tech reviews: https://www.brad.site/
DISCOUNTS FOR MY COURSES: http://brad.site/learn/

I ran into some problems with this pen display. They improved the initial activation rate at the pen but it also seems like it took a step backwards in terms of the actual drawing quality. This isn't so much a review but my process of how I went about trou...

▶ Play video
edgy cairn
#

so, im honestly stuck with which i should get

#

i have until tomorrow specifically

#

well i also notice that you need to pay an extra 80$ for the stand for cintiq 16, which thats a downside but i can draw flat down i guess

shadow nebula
#

watch some reviews and look into the bugs for both. Just one thing to keep in mind is that the reason wacom is more expensive is build quality, durability and overall better software with less bugs. Thats not to say that other brands are bad, they're good, but there is a reason wacom is still the best.

edgy cairn
#

also what is an artist glove for

onyx breach
#

No, drawing flat on a pen display hurts your back tremendously

edgy cairn
#

i dont see a purpose

onyx breach
#

It's to filter out the natural sweat your hand produces when drawing and keeps the screen from getting smudge

edgy cairn
#

oh, i see

#

since ive never had a drawing tablet compatible to my computer, does the wacom work on this?

onyx breach
#

it works on any os

edgy cairn
#

alright

hardy yew
#

gonna get scoliosis from using my tablet to do hw zzzz

#

i dunno if my opinion matters as much but id rather have a “slightly worse” tablet (pro 16) over the wacom because its $140 cheaper

#

i wouldnt pay $140 for just some minor advantage yk

#

like even if it lasts a little longer that price is just SeeleDead1SeeleDead2

dusky trail
#

you could always pay that $140 for a massage session

hardy yew
#

or just get a stand like a normal person (which i still havent done)

#

back pains speedrun

onyx breach
#

wacom was able to up their price not only because they had great hardware and softawre for their time but also because they didnt have any competition 2-3 years ago

#

now other companies are slowly crawling up their backs with touch screen displays, 4k screen with lower prices and better pen tech n softwares as well

edgy cairn
#

Well, now i need an affordable app to draw on

#

I can do clip studio ex

what kind of PS1 graphic is this

grave nymph
pliant saddle
#

My friends first commissionSakuraBomb

dusky trail
#

so Shii following Aki's style and draw someone jump off the mountain

grave nymph
#

I should do more full body stuff often

dusky trail
#

line up her right arm to her left leg and see what happen

grave nymph
#

a

#

now I'm confused on what's wrong RozaThink

#

is it the arm or the lower part of the bod? Derp

dusky trail
#

they about the same length

#

arm should always shorter than the leg

grave nymph
#

ahhhhh

#

rght

dusky trail
#

unless you want to make it like they can totally walk on all 4 that is

#

but well, the way the arm also as big as the thigh also cause it to feel that way

#

so you could extend the hip length to gain some distant between the arm and legs

grave nymph
#

ooo

dusky trail
dusky trail
#

otherwise it will look really odd

grave nymph
dusky trail
#

probably because my style of head circle always for the face so the hair would take a lot more space

#

but that body is rather small and Shiibi like

grave nymph
#

as in, everything on the body?

#

if so then I can just enlarge it Derp

dusky trail
#

probably faster to just reduce the head size

grave nymph
#

o

#

EHH??

#

SENSEI??

dusky trail
#

???

grave nymph
#

sighs in relief

#

You were muted

#

for a second there ohnyo

dusky trail
#

i know but not really sure why

#

they did said because of bad word but.. what bad word?

#

odd

grave nymph
#

the hell was that sticker

dusky trail
#

guess that is somewhat fine now

grave nymph
#

"somewhat"

#

which parts need polishing? 🤔

dusky trail
#

the butt

grave nymph
#

ack

#

right

#

I don't have references for that ohnyo

dusky trail
#

if we see the base of the left leg near the crotch

grave nymph
#

gonna go find one

#

AA

dusky trail
#

then the way the right leg up, it would dig right inside her crotch

grave nymph
#

so I should move the position of the left leg?

#

the base at least?

dusky trail
#

faster to move the right leg down i guess

grave nymph
#

awww

#

what are the other options then?

dusky trail
#

well leave it as it is would show a clear view of her crotch

grave nymph
dusky trail
#

well there always that option to move her body to the side

#

also, you can see the length between her hip to her butt there

grave nymph
#

oo

#

AAAA

dusky trail
grave nymph
#

so equal distances huh

dusky trail
#

while your is still.. well

grave nymph
#

now the pose is becoming so stiff

dusky trail
#

if we do the same measure style then your will be like this

grave nymph
#

ack

#

slowly dying

dusky trail
#

seem fine to me~

grave nymph
#

does it look too stiff?

dusky trail
#

well it is a frame so it is fine to be stiff

#

you can add thing like curve and clothe to make it feel less stiff anyway

grave nymph
#

o

shadow nebula
grave nymph
#

How though? RozaThink

#

sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, currently sleepy www

shadow nebula
#

no worries. You've made the pelvis very short, roughly the width of the thigh so move the legs down to lengthen it

#

to get a better idea, bend your legs and feel your hip and measure the distance

grave nymph
#

o

lament stump
#

ah

#

i think something is making it look off but idk what

shadow nebula
#

the ear is too far, jaw too long, eye doesns't match the angle and neither does the mouth, mouth is too small as well, forehead is too flat and vertical, and head in general is too big for the face

#

you also need to make the ear a little bit bigger to line up properly with the eye and eyebrow while remaining aligned with the base of the nose

lament stump
#

is it better to start over then fix all that?

shadow nebula
#

should also mention the tha chin is too far forward

#

thats up to you and your skill lvl tbh

lament stump
#

yea I'm starting over

dusky trail
#

the forehead and the hair also don't feel like they are connected

lament stump
#

i'm starting from skratych so id doesn't matter shik

dusky trail
#

still worth mention so you don't do the same thing again

lament stump
#

i tought i was decent now and that's why i spent so little time in sketching process, and this is what happend

shadow nebula
#

it takes a long time to build up your visual library. And while you

#

're new to art or don't do studies you end up thinking you're better than you actually are

lament stump
#

i don't like anything there except how i did the ear

#

it looks nice

dusky trail
#

if only you fixed that weird habit of put the ear so far back then it would be even more perfect

shadow nebula
#

yeah, its pretty well done. You're definitely improving just don't hold yourself too highly. I've been doing art for almost 4 years and i'm still garbage

lament stump
#

even before i asked saiph i saw that ear was so too far away so that's something

dusky trail
#

then Sai, give him some tip on ear position

lament stump
#

well i think it's not ear position it's about my jaw line

#

it's long af

shadow nebula
#

its something you'll get better at with practice and studies

lament stump
#

Idk how to do semi realistic eyes

#

They are supposeted to just be bigger

#

But idk where to place em or how big to make em

dusky trail
#

go look up artist with that style you looking for and use them as reference?

lament stump
#

ah that's boring

dusky trail
#

it always good to have 1 or 2 artists with the style you like so you can steal all they technique

lament stump
#

where do i find them tho

dusky trail
#

i don't know

grave nymph
#

me neither

#

my follows list grew to a big amount over the months

dusky trail
#

there probably a harshtag on twitter or DA to help you find them

shadow nebula
#

Before you can properly venture into semi realism you need to know realism

lament stump
#

Yes, but I can't just do studies all the time

#

I gotta have some fun

shadow nebula
#

I know but you won’t understand how to fit things together until you know the fundamentals of anatomy. Looking at different artist won’t help much in that regard besides just stealing their style or coping their painting

lament stump
#

or i stal where they placed the eye :)

shadow nebula
#

Where they place the eyes is all anatomy. Its not random just stylized
