@fair flare wat pen did you use?

#

my lineart need some neat lineart
pain

onyx breach
#

im pretty sure its a you problem, not the pen

fair flare
onyx breach
#

you just slap thick lines all over the place and erase your sketch, not actually draw on it

fair flare
#

And i agree with delay lineart takes time and is nothing a brush can really fix

onyx breach
#

he just draw the sketch then erase the sketch, not draw the lineart

#

ofc itd get messy

#

its a sketch

fair flare
#

Yeaa

#

Just cleaning up the sketch could also work if you don't necessarily want to line everything again

🤔 that would give an inconsistent look in the pages coz on the other hand, the readers look at the bg with paint-eque vibe but then you slap your characters on them and theyd look like carboard cutouts because they have lineart contrary to the bg, resulting in an inconsistency in the artstyle

In a museum

#

And im speechless, what the fuck is this artist on about, his work is so confusing and scary

lusty hazel
#

wdym confusing

#

that shit looks sick af

glass jacinth
#

Am i allowed to send this hm

lone wagon
#

Artists who draw like that usually either really like creepy stuff or they're very unhappy with their life

lusty hazel
lone wagon
#

Yeah

#

There are a lot of famous artists like that

#

Vincent van gogh was like that. U can tell his mental state became worse and worse the more he painted

#

The guy cut off his own ear he was that mentally unstable and unhappy.

He was influenced by the war

And i didn't like his art at all

But his anatomy and gesture were good so I redrew some of thoes as in quick sketches

glass jacinth
# shadow nebula I love his art. He's very skilled

Yea he definitely knows what he's doing, seeing thoes big canvases in person with suck detail leaves a mark on you, especially the agression his art has, while i was copying one of his bodys i saw how agressive it all was

I love morbid art, i remember all my sketchbooks in highschool were all filled with them

hardy yew
lone wagon
#

Do you guys only use 1 brush for everything?

#

I use loads of brushes for different things.

shell gulch
lone wagon
#

I'm always downloading new brushes to try anyways. I do one a few I use most often though.

shell gulch
#

And size

molten flume
#

?

shell gulch
#

I only do sketches doe since im new to digital art

#

Idk how to blend colors yet

lone wagon
#

I'm still new too. I've done a full year and a bit now I think

shell gulch
#

I just started on christmas

#

On digital

lone wagon
#

I did a bit of anatomy practise for a couple of months on paper before I started digital though

#

Anatomy practises were the first things I did

shell gulch
#

I did some anatomy studies when thr pandemic started

#

Shading techniques

#

And stuff

lone wagon
#

I started properly drawing after I finished college

#

Well i spent 1 whole year after college trying to decide what I wanted to do while working

#

Then I decided

shell gulch
#

I started drawing when i was at

#

4th or 5th grade

#

I think

#

The reason why i wanna get good before

#

Was to beat one classmate in drawing RozaDead

#

I was dum af

lone wagon
#

I just wanted a hobby, I knew I had good potential in art cuz of school work in art classes

#

So decided to take it on more seriously

molten flume
#

"fixed"

lone wagon
#

Doing lineart is one of my favourite stage I find it the most relaxing

#

Sketches and colour makes u think a lot and it can get stressful.

shell gulch
#

I like the coloring part SakuraBox

#

I hated coloring before

#

Cos i didnt know shit

#

Im still pretty scuffed doe

#

Need to practice more

lone wagon
#

I'm not very good at colouring, and I'm still not that good at lineart and sketches either.

shell gulch
lone wagon
#

I think i push myself too hard, always trying to push my limits. I can't help it. Keep telling myself to slow down but I end up with every piece doing more and more complicated things xD

shell gulch
#

Its good to breach limits

#

Just dont do it too hard

lone wagon
#

Idk my limits yet.

shell gulch
#

Im still bad at identifying wot colors to use

lone wagon
#

I'm always adjusting the colours, i have that issue too. I always pick out colours that are pretty desaturated

#

Its good that we can always adjust colours easily

shell gulch
#

I also suck at doing highlights RozaDead

#

Dats why i oftenly use white color pencils

#

And white gel pens

#

Erasers and stuff

lone wagon
#

Atm I'm practising colouring. What I'm doing rn is picking out different styles and try to copy it to the best of my ability

shell gulch
#

I just used white gel pen on the highlights

#

But my white gel pen suddenly clogged

#

Cant finish it RozaDead

lone wagon
#

Oh ur not digital

shell gulch
#

I do both

#

Im just new to digital

#

My first digital drawing was an assignment

#

had to make my own character

lone wagon
#

People who move from traditional to digital tend to have really unique styles in general

shell gulch
#

I just draw wot i wanna draw

lone wagon
#

They're used to doing mix media, and they're used to working with texture so often I find their work to be really interesting

#

In digital

shell gulch
#

Ive seen a dude in a honkai serv

#

His traditional drawings are dope

#

Iirc his name is zedgodart

#

Or something

lone wagon
#

People who start out digital tend to struggle adding texture in their work. It's often very smooth.

shell gulch
#

He mostly draws anime from what ive seen

Bruh i rlly need to start watching how to blend colors in digital

#

But too much school work

shell gulch
#

Pain

lone wagon
#

I've downloaded special blending brushes from clip studio assets

#

They're customized. The one I got is really good for small blends

#

Probably not free now, that's why I always look at the store cuz often they make it free first for limited amounts of time then make it paid

#

Once u download it u get to keep it forever even after they make it paid

but holy wow, your work is amazing

shell gulch

#

I'm very paranoid to ink my pencil sketches because of it lmao

#

though digital lets you get away with so much

#

it almost feels like cheating HimekoLMAO

shell gulch
#

But its more impressive when its trad

fossil obsidian
#

Yep

#

and I personally find trad more relaxing

shell gulch
#

Both hard but trad harder

dusky trail
fossil obsidian
#

I spent like 2-3 months on digital and my trad skill dropped hard

dusky trail
#

or you could draw the head so the neck would be hide by the body to show lower angle

grave nymph
#

ahhh

#

I kinda get the second option but how would that work

dusky trail
grave nymph
#

AH

#

this angle huh

dusky trail
#

not exactly the right angle for you but a lot of them using huge boobs char for low angle...

grave nymph
#

yeah...

#

too bad Bronya pettan

#

I think I'm doing this wrong w

dusky trail
#

it the next that look too close and short

grave nymph
#

ah

dusky trail
#

head should move more to the right unless you want her to turn side way then that is fine

grave nymph
#

3/4 view I suppose

#

though the neck is the only thing that's yabe right?

dusky trail
#

i don't use that kind of circle for the head so it may just feel too big for me but it could be fine

#

it is the rather short legs that bother me more

#

specially when your arms look longer than it

onyx breach
#

why does she have sticks for limbs in drawing shape stage?

#

that doesnt rly help anyhow, it only gives you a visualization of where the limbs fold

#

should draw boxes at least

#

or soft oval shapes

shell gulch
#

I use light blue color for my sketches

#

Better than black SakuraBox

grave nymph
#

I'll keep that in mind

#

I got several versions of the drafts now :ohno:

lone wagon
#

I like sketching in black, I can't really see it when it's a different colour and I can't seem to concentrate well.

fossil obsidian
#

same

onyx breach
#

im petty sure the only reason ppl put it any other color than blak is that the color isnt as strong when you decrease its opacity when its time for lineart

dusky trail
#

i usually black for the body then maybe red for the outfit

#

i like to keep them separated so i can plan out the layers later

#

though not that i do completely black either, more like grey

when i got a motivation

glass jacinth
#

A start of a pretty ambitious project

#

The only body that needs to be looking good anatomy wise is the one in the middle others are gonna be blured and the light is gonna hit her from the top and it'll be a nice warm light

#

Rn it isn't anatomically correct ofc, just in case someone tough somethingTeriDerp

hmm she looks like a trap with how the rest of her long hair was drawn

drowsy onyx
dusky trail
drowsy onyx
#

Isnt that what transphobes call crossdressers/transwomen

#

cause its a “trap”

dusky trail
#

the different is trap often hide the face they are male so the viewer will get curious and wonder if they truly are male or not

#

which is why, "trap"

#

some series even play on it so the trap character never reveal it at all

hardy yew
dusky trail
#

the most popular one would be Hideyoshi from Baka to test

hardy yew
#

if that was a transphobic term then like the word would be banned

#

but its not

drowsy onyx
#

Alright

dusky trail
#

though nowaday, a lot of trap became love interest too so it just became a "crossdress char that the main know she is guy but still want to love him"

drowsy onyx
#

Just making sure, given i am a part of the community and its been used in that harmful context but i dont see it being harmful, thanks for explaining

#

Back to art :>

onyx breach
#

its not, its a sub-genre for heroines if you will

dusky trail
#

well back in the day~ it used to just be a gag char

onyx breach
#

please let it stay as a gag character

crystal cove
#

just putting this into context, the word is offensive as it is used as a slur of sorts to refer to LGBT people but as this channel mainly deals with art, the word Trap is not in anyway offensive

drowsy onyx

uh, im not talking about why they mentioned trap im asking when it became a slur

#

glass jacinth
#

We know haha

drowsy onyx
glass jacinth
#

Yea i know that's it offensive and never say it just cuz it sounds offensive as a word like "trap" when you say it out loud it sounds like a bad word lol

dusky trail
#

trap only work if you act like a girl yet don't reveal if you really is one or not

#

so if you want to use that in RL, it is more like a person pretend to be a girl so someone will simp for him or so

shadow nebula
#

Its a transphobic slur so its best not to use in any context

hardy yew
#

“but it’s-“ just don’t

drowsy onyx
dusky trail
#

i really don't think it work as a slur but not like we here to discuss that anyway so may as well move on

shadow nebula
#

It is a slur. Its used to primarily degrade transwomen

hardy yew
#

What can you say?

dusky trail
#

mostly just the left arm looks rather disconnected

like from the collarbone line and you can see it completely missed the shoulder

How does something like this get 2k views

#

Not to be mean or anything but my stuff gets like avg 300 and it isn't worse then this

#

Is it in hashtags or something cuz it does have a lot of thoes

marble hemlock
#

It could be a lot of things, if there is one thing I’ve learned from posting online it’s that your popularity online =/= the quality of your art

dusky trail
#

i'm more wonder about that title name

marble hemlock
#

You also have to think about hashtags, how long you’ve building up a following, your personality, how much you post, the how interesting your content actually is (for example, although she is incredibly good at art, cloudya makes a lot of conceptually interesting art and memes)

glass jacinth
#

Alright ty

lone wagon
#

The more you post the more likely people would see, its just the matter of being consistent and patient.

onyx breach
#

no matter how good you are you still have to build your audience

lone wagon
#

You can build it in all kinds of way but people are more attached to the personality of thr artists too. If you're brave enough you can start streaming also, because it's probably one of thr closest your viewers are gonna feel connected to you.

#

I've seen quite a few people who has quite a large following based on their personality alone. It's interesting and it makes people want to support you.

#

Even if they're not pros

#

I do find it sad sometimes that people are more likely to follow you if they find you entertaining than the art itself but that's the way it is.

glass jacinth
#

I can totally pull out a interesting personality

#

Should i start using Twitter not just to post stuff but to say something, i feel like ppl do that there but I'm not quite familiar with the app

glass jacinth
#

Not talking smack about ppl there, I'm probably the same

shadow nebula
#

with how oversaturated social media is, getting noticed now is mainly about luck and using the algorithm perfectly.

#

You're more likely to get noticed if you're providing content people want to see (fanart) or want to learn something

onyx breach
#

just draw something controversial, twittards will flock around it like bees and boom instant popularity

shadow nebula
#

Don't do that. There are many reasons why its a bad idea and won't work for someone with basically no following

glass jacinth
#

Fanart of som popular anime girl

#

Or i can just do my thing and be pacient

shadow nebula
#

fanart won't guarantee success but its something you can do to try to make a name for yourself

The tough of creating the best work you possibly fan and it being appreciated by millions one day

#

Altho you won't ever crate the best possible work cuz you'll always be improving

hardy yew
#

I improved a lot in a year but i always felt burnt out to even pick up a pencil and a digital pen

shadow nebula
#

Take a break from art if it becomes hard or do studies and eventually the motivation will return although you want to avoid burnout

marble hemlock
#

If you’re having burnout I wouldn’t force yourself to draw because then it starts to feel like a chore. Maybe instead look at other artists work or look for inspiration in the meantime

#

If you’re worried about losing progress by taking a break you can always draw small 5 minute sketches

shadow nebula
#

I’ve taken a 3 year break from art in the past. Do what you feel is right

hardy yew
#

Thank you all for the advice i am gonna keep it in mind ❤

#

The last time I properly drew without it being apart of school work is probably primary school when I was like 10 years old

#

It was a really long break

#

When i did art in school I half arsed everything cuz didn't enjoy school

#

So i dont really count it, so dw it was a really long break for me too. Its only last year where I started drawing again properly.

i take 2-3 days of break every 1st week of the month SeeleDead1SeeleDead2

What can you say?

#

This is slightly nit picking, but bras usually have more of a v shape in the middle, since “they” usually part outwards naturally, it’s kind of unnecessary to have support there

#

The bottom line of their left eye shouldn’t curve up so soon bc the head is 3d
The line that defines the top of the snout should also be parallel to the invisible line that lines up the eyes

Idk, either way i swear I died for a few seconds when I read it. I saw myself leave my body.

#

While repeating "£200 not a lot of money? £200 not a lot of money?" continously

#

It reminded me of this girl I used to know who was saying that she bought a pair of shoes for £600 and that it wasn't a lot of money

#

She got like 1k each month from her parents to spend on

onyx breach
#

They can also buy the huion h420 which only cost $25

lone wagon
#

That sounds better. That sounds affordable.

#

It needs to be at least able to connect to their phones cuz pcs are expensive

onyx breach
#

I'm not so sure about their financial capacity so I just recommended the bare minimum of what I think is a decent starter display

shadow nebula
#

not everyone needs a display tablet especially beginners

onyx breach
#

fair enough, would be terrible if they invest in that degree then just lose motivation in a month

lone wagon
#

A lot of people here are also very young. Too young to get a stable job yet.

onyx breach
#

then best bet to get your feet wet on art would be the h420

or simply pencil n paper

a charcoal pencil and a sketchbook can push you a long way outside digital art

I tried practicing every day or so when I’m free but the body still not look improved

shadow nebula
#

we can tell you what's off but you won't fully understand until you see it and study it. If you want to improve you should do figure studies and use references for your personal paintings

dusky trail
#

like if we just look at your Kokomi, we can see the length from her neck to her left should clearly longer than her right

#

and ty to those shoulders as wide as it is, it cause her head to looks way smaller

#

so just look up at various reference, specially the frame of a body so you can understand how thing should look

hardy yew

But following your reference as bast as you can helps you improve the most imo

#

@onyx breach i choose your opinion cuz I won't cry since I'm a big boy

onyx breach
#

the light it projects doesnt match the light that lands on a solid object, it should remain the same judging by how close her back is to the light, the light should be constant yellow

dusky trail
#

maybe it is one of those sun bath kind of light

glass jacinth
#

but if it's constant yellow that would be boring

#

Maybe constant orange?

dusky trail
#

or just raise the lamp up higher so you can spread the light more

#

with how low that is, it looks like anyone can easy bump they head into it, it also would cause a lot of strong light into someone face

glass jacinth
#

Okay apart from that light thingy

#

Does the shading look okay

#

Don't mind the other 3 humans they aren't important im probably gonna blur em

#

And for middle girl i have to add some pockets and texture on thoes jeans

dusky trail
#

i would say the shade under the table would be stronger

glass jacinth
#

You mean that line or everything

#

Probably everything, yea i tough about it

dusky trail

it should be darker to her thighs at least

BUT STOP DODGING THE IS IT OKAY QUESTION

should be the same shade lvl as the back of her knee

lost wagon
#

lmao ... epic embed fail

lone wagon
#

I don't think I've ever have an idea I really want to draw come out of my head. For me I just start drawing and that's when I come up with something to draw. I never have any ideas before I draw

#

. Ideas just come to me after i start drawing

#

So idk if that you can count it as an art block. Cuz I never have any ideas at all until I start drawing soemthing random.

onyx breach
#

art block is reverse, you want to draw but you dont know what to draw, or fail to visualize it, or just overall have the willingness to draw but when they try to theyre just going on circles 🤔

lone wagon
#

I see. Then I don't think I've ever had an art block

#

I don't know if I can since I do have a strange way to start a drawing

onyx breach
#

it can take months, best way to get over it is just look at something different, something that may inspire you

#

sometimes you just want t break your routine and do something diff from your day to day activities

lone wagon
#

I do save references that I think is cool but I never use it to start an idea

#

I just be like yeah im gonna draw today

#

Pick up my pen, start drawing

#

And that's when ideas comes to me

#

Then I start looking at references

#

So i never know what i want to draw until I start actually drawing.

#

Well sometimes I'm like i really wanna draw this character!

#

And i start doing random poses and pick the best one and then develop my ideas using that pose that I like

#

I don't like to overthink, I'm the type that's like yeah let's go without a plan and dive straight in without a clue to what I plan on doing. I'm just like yeah i just wanna do this, why? Idk how? Idk when? Now

#

it always that time when you try to sleep and you just start coming up with idea

#

and then either forgot about it after you woke up or it didn't come out right even after you get up and draw it out

Before I couldn't colour at all now I was able to colour better from trying to copy others paintings.

#

But when i do my own pieces it looks nothing like the stuff I've copied for practise

#

I break down how the artist go around doing their work.

#

I obviously never choose the same artist. I try to copy different styles of painting and try to mimick how they coloured it in the practise alone. But when i try to do my own art I go off from what I've taught myself when I tried experiencing other's artwork with my own hands.

verbal marten
#

I'm having major artblock omg I feel like shit

lone wagon
#

You said yourself that speedpaint isn't effective so then how do you learn from someone? Particularly those who speak a different language?

#

Its simple. You analyse their art, and copy it, trying to mimick their techniques to learn their ways

onyx breach
#

sounds great

#

the learning stage is diff for everyone but in my case i just kept staring at this specific game's art design that ultimately motivated me to start digital art and i would check how this and that were drawn, coloring etc

lone wagon
#

I'm still not that great at colouring well the kiana piece I did i felt some sort of satisfactory but its not particularly how I wanted it to go

#

I'm still juggling things around and trying to experiment

#

People said it was good but I think it was Meh

onyx breach
#

ppl who arent brave enough to be honest will always spout the word good but im glad you think that way, that means you still want to improve

Ok, I’ll just give u some quick pointers:

  • keep in mind that perspective also affects the size of objects, so the wine glass in the front will be larger than the ones in the bg
  • keep the use of blur to a minimum. While it’s true for the composition that you don’t need to focus on the outer edges, however make sure you’re not including too much information that’s deemed “irrelevant” some cropping of the image could help fix that
  • reflection is usually emulated by using contrast, so having a bright white in the very center of the bulb while surrounding it with other colours is usually the best way to go.

I'll make sure i fix my mistakes next time, that's what i love about art, mistakes make you much better later on

# glass jacinth

Keep in mind that this does not apply to all figures. Some figures may be closer to this 8-9 head ratio, while others (typically smaller females) are more like 6-7, with children usually being about 5. While this is a good guideline, it’s important to use an objective eye in your work to make sure it looks correct for the character and doesn’t just follow a formula that doesn’t always apply

#

My illustration teacher tells us to keep it closer to 6-7, while my comic design teacher kept us at 7-8 depending on the character. It all depends

here it is, made it bigger

hardy yew
#

Hmm,, I think you can still make it a little bigger? I understand what you’re going for with this very large oversized coat, and I think you can keep the illusion of the character having a small head but have it be anatomically correct by using the clothing to extenuate the silhouette of the character.

#

You can even add some of the brown behind the hair in order to have the blonde stand out some more

#

You don’t have to take any of this, simply suggestions :)

#

I also lowered the shoulders a bit so she’s less tense

I want to make it like holding a mic, how is it??

Is this good? Or there was something weird?

grave nymph
glass jacinth
#

Hold something like a mic with your own hand and compare

full solstice
#

remember, the object doesn't fit to your hand, your hand fits to the object

#

and also the thumb is a bit broken, it doesn't normally curve like that

#

try holding a cylinder with your own hand, you can see how not all the fingers line up perfectly and how they curve around the shape

dusky trail
#

white the first join of the fingers are too short to fit anything in

#

but ya, like Amaki said, even if you not gonna draw the mic in, you should included it in the sketch so you can visualize it better
