Should I upgrade to Procreate?
I’ve been using ibis for years
yeah it sucks
I always just recommend CSP
oh
its one of the better and more updated programs
CSP is subscription base now isn’t it?
Yeah but its worth it
Wb procreate?
I personally didnt like procreate but tbf I am fairly picky about my brushes and settings
I see
gonna eat and might do some drawing
I shifted off of SAI, which I really liked but found outdated, to me CSP was like SAI ++
Alright, thanks for the help! Your advice is really useful!
Always happy to help<3
Wdym?
Idk if I’m improving or not but
I’m definitely having more fun with it then I was making fanart
I know how to draw a human, I don't have the skills to linework
So every drawing turns stiff
I know how linework works, just don't have those skills yet
Thats always the hardest, I try to add some motion and variation to my lines to create an illusion of dynamic and movement
Even failing to draw a "good" human, you can always make up for it linework
What always helped my dymanics is thickness/thinness of lines
Unsure how true that is, guess it depends on who is viewing it
I find anatomy to be a key aspect with art
If anatomy is way off then it sort of falls apart
Samauri jack
Kind of like bread made with poor dough
?
You don't need to be anatomically correct
Just understand how they work together
Cartoonists done this for centuries
Disagree but also I prefer ecchi and pinup art where anatomy matters
Not cartoon art

Im sure cartoons have looser anatomy lines but its not the art im talking about LOL
Not exactly true
Like
There's plenty of anime that doesn't fit the "anime aesthetic"
Oh god, I remember ping pong
I finally revised the main 3 of my webtoon
Ight well, im talking about legitimate nice smooth elegant ecchi artists so I dont think we even discussing same art lmao
don’t mind Kisaragi being the most detailed
oh I very much aware what you talking about

So you just arguing with cartoon art for no reason to someone who doesnt like it
I find that style formulaic, but it prints money

Nah, you missing my point
lucky me ig
Aint nobody saying that

That's what you said
Their designs haven’t change too much
I said anatomy is a core element to certain art styles and who is viewing it

Anyway im bored of this convo
Guess I'm sticking with kritia
I do wanna try drawing my Background
But webtoon need to be uploaded weekly
And with my speed I can’t do that
You really put the environment together well in the first one
So I’m learning how to convert irl photos in anime styled background
But I think the revised version are better looking
In terms of character design
You're doing great, I like your progress alot
I feel like you're always improving something when ya post here
Is lovely!
Of course, its nice to encourage more artists^^
There is one thing I want to experiment with
We put in hard work~
hmm
Depth of field
Most artists don't do depth of field, they just blurr the background call it a day 
Using this channel to laugh at other artist methods is kinda "hmm."
nah
I'm not laughing
It's just a quirk I noticed
You assuming I mean bad
Here's an example
My first good photo
I would really love to see you draw more NIKKE gals, you should ping me if you do
but there is a better one to explain this
Aaaaa wrong ping
where was that photo I took
I should name my photos better
Dont be sorry, just share with me when you feel inspired again 

You make some great NIKKE content
Pikabewbs
Depth of field
so also
Weird quirk in photography
I don't know if anyone cares
If your aperture is higher, than the background and foreground becomes more blurred, but you get more light
It gets weirder
However, depth of field is not a fixed length
If you focus in on an object further away and you focus on the object, the depth of field increases
To what you can do with this information as an artist

Also pro-tip for shading: background color will spill on a person if the light is intense enough (if anyone works with a green screen or photoshops will now how much of a pain in the ass it is)
enough y apping for me today
@limber harbor 
Yeah, I know the left hand is messed up

I'll figure out some time later
If you wondering why the lines are darker in some areas, overtime I tense up
There is actually a funny reason why I do that
Is it to make one part of the hand appear to be in front of something?
Its uh
horns sign
2 ways to do it
And I realize I drew it backwards

I was trying to wrap up so I can workout
Military plane moment
Yep :3
Which model?
E-3 Sentry
Can’t decide yet maybe she might be her own squadron or other squadron in 552nd group
Exhausted man
Ohhhhh
not from drawing
Probs finish what I started tomorrow
Thinking about Chinatown U-2
Probs style off of Anna May Wong
If you are confused, then look up what "Dragon Lady" means 
I will wait to see that :3
Gonna take me some time to getting around to doing it because I am consulting with someone
I understand that cause you know my AWACS is also need some consulting either
Problem is I don't know how to approach it
I know the general outline I want, but I have iron out the more cultural aspects
I could just draw a kimono, but that isn't the same


Very nice
Should I redraw the funny Skybound panel with Gramps and Char’s Zaku?
Maybe?
But should I do ballistic shield arm or spike shoulder arm?
I could flip the line on its head
Going on the defensive

It would make an exquisite meme
And I have the G3 with me rn
And I could quickly build the MG 2.0 Zaku’s arm
Because I can be trusted with Godhands

That’s awesome ❤️
Thanks man 
the stupid tree and swings 
Nice
Idk if i finish it am kinda exhausted with it
Beautiful

Thank you for contributing to Eugen glory~
happy to draw to her 6 fans
yes!
Small update
Oh my.
I love the flower, cat with horns, dragon-serpent thing, and environmental ones especially
i should do linework today
I tried practicing drawing poses and thought it was the perfect occasion to draw the three stages of a relationship with a beloved shipgirl
out of everything I said, thats the thing they replied to? 
I dont play minecraft and I especially dont know what mods are called
im not sure how you describe that type of 3d model

3D modelling with Blender
England?
Propaply either England or Usa i would gues
cute!
She looks amezing!!
😍
Normal,she's german
its done
i copied her pose
Just random street view picture from google xD
So im not sure really...
Test colours
She’s not a very useful NPC unless you are summoner
But she’s a fun edition to any town
I love pets
And you can buy pets from her
Isent she one off the characters from terraria
Yeah why?
I recegniese her I used to play that game a bit
I’m currently doing a master mode playthrough
And also an weird… abundant collection of whips
They are for the summoner of course
I doubt they are for the animals
You want the zoologist to whip you…?
I mean if shes hot enough yeah :3
But here’s my interpretation of the sprite
If that helps?…
Is that a good thing?
I like the bunny ears she sells
Ofc
Looking at the game version it looks like her belt is around her waist and not on her trousers and her shirt is a bit longer
It’s a little too late to do that
I think when I previously drew the zoologist I did the belt as well
Outfit interpretation and mimicking is common in art
Aka drawing their og clothes as someth more casual or something
What do you think of the sketch btw?
I think it has alot of good color imo
Actually it does sort off look like how i remember england from when I was their about ten years ago
I mean she is one of the most fapped on character in terrarias community
And shes a furry.
I wouldent call her a furry I would say neko
@limber harbor
A zeon suit
what in tarnation is this name
gonna take me a bit to type it out
CGUE Type D.E.E.P Arms
I'm gonna have to paint the helmet 💀
I wish you luck

Hopefully
That or Japan is making a proper war machine for WW3
My back hurts
I forget how long these take
💀

Dude take a rest
Your painting will be effected if you are tired
Oh I can barely thread a needle rn
Dude then stop
It's ok lol
The model kits will still be there tmrw
I'm addicted to these
I am too but rest is important
I think I passed out one time from building too many of them
I don't know how artists can do the work loads
I spent a whole photography session before this

I am searching a good IJN KONGÖ model kit, can someone help me find a good kit ? , thanks 
You mean a figurine or the historicle ship?
The ship
Tho in England cars drive on opposite sides. So this cant be UK.

Heya looking for some one who can draw my oc? Dm me

Ok
Wow they're big
or is the man small?
Milk
I haven’t drawn this character in 2 years
And it’s nice to see how far you’ve come
I thought back in 2020 this would be my peak of art quality
@late jungle @sullen juniper@molten atlas Maybe don't trash react peoples art regardless of your opinion on furries. Thanks.
This will be the only verbal on the matter
I would say shes not really a furry more of a neko of some kind
sorry will do
tho it was more focused on the boob physics
I mean thats still focused on the artist and their method/preference
Overall it just seems classless and a lil rude to react with "trash" to something especially in this channel
Can just like, not say anything or ignore it
its even less effort than reacting
oof sorry I was randomly reacting everything so my bad
but ngl the animation is very good 
@coral holly sincerely apologize for that mate 
I can finally start on my passion project
Plastic cement mixed with a bit of hopes and dreams
good luck
I have the ball Polypod

Hehe yay
Top tier art
Here's a little work in progress of the texture mapping for Tirpitz. There's going to be three variants of Tirpitz that I will be doing. One for her base skin, one for her summer skin (Snow Melting Summer), and one for her party skin (Iron Blood Snowstorm). I will not be doing variants for her other two skins, as they do not show any visible rigging.
Thanks, Silver Tears, for getting this model for me.
I thought this was bioncles
I am going to kill you

It’s not Bionicle
It’s not a transformer
It’s a fucking mobile suit
Technically it meets the specs and armor requirements to be a gundam
ngl when i saw the first pic it made me think about bionicle
testing some effects
Guess who has paint stripper now
This is cool
Wouhhh
Holy hell that looks cool!
She looks graet I like the great wave off Kanagawa on her uniform too
Soryu translates to Blue Dragon so I wanted to do something with that design concept
Yea its a good desine
I have plenty of other Cold War/Modern SSN’s too

So how much more should i bend it back?

Mitsubishi MitsubiMOTOR car sales was doing terribly
Instead of improving their cars they grabbed one of their tech engineers and put them in a bunny suit
Their sport line RALITEC would gain a sudden influx of male customers after this photo
And that should be it for rendering
I still have my Bionicle stuff, wasn't as into Hero Factory though. The storyline wasn't as cool to me.
yeah you right
New project
You're painting a dresser?
yeah
I have to sand down everything

I had to goto the store and buy some orbital sand paper
That's how I made my desk actually. I know it's a hard process.
Though the sanding down is to make the paint stay on better, right?
USS Thresher
I had to strip all the old stain off
It is a pain in the ass
You got to put your back into it

Can't paint over a stain

I call this piece "waiting for my fucking paycheck to deposit at 4:00 AM"
I’m going to update the webtoon cover one more time
@muted bluff @solemn atlas sorry for the tags but I really need your help with the posing here
I want this to be as good as I possibly can make it
I do find it funny just how different our rough sketches are
Wdym?
the approaches to sketch out the poses

no problem
Followed lots of advice and this is the best fix I could o

What do you think?
?
your lower body are too elongated basically
Oooooh
Like this?
better
A bit higher?
hmm make the butt tad bit higher lil bit
oh and the head too small, make it a lil bigger too
better
this is one is okay
Bigger?
nope that is enough
what hppen
Well, she's done

that monitor hangging on its life
more stable than you think
unlike me, that tabe top is much more fragile than it looks
and that monitor stand is heavier than that table top
yess my table is a cheap ass table
mine is hand built
niceee
hold on
The 86 could probably use a bit of a resize
She is further away from the 86 but I feel it should be a bit bigger
What do you guys think?
Essex class essex on the way
make the character bigger since she is closer to the camera


I already sunk 8 hours into this 😭
I think I got it
What do you think?
Should the character be smaller or the car bigger?
hmm the car tad bit smaller
better
Cars IRL sit around the shoulder height when you get up close
Here's doug for reference
this reminded me of my old old like in 2000' computer table i dunno why
This arm seems overly long and angled
Would shorten it and bring the angling down a bit
Art kind of raised the elbow up in their example, that was a good way to go about it

Around up here?
Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind for up close shots
Its a bit angled but better. I try to think of how arms feel and how they position themselves when tucked behind us; your elbows remain close to your sides
In this example the elbow is closer to the body, slightly blent, and is at about waist height
That looks more natural to me
or you could say
"your hand will always reach your crotch but your elbow does not"
for proportion land mark
Thats clever~

Nice stuff btw, I see you post here sometimes
Id post more but idk what is allowed in terms of lewd so I avoid posting my saucy art

yeah ask the mod for that

although thank you

oh btw do you have any social ?
I have, never got clear answers so I just leave it
I got them linked on my bio though I gotta post more again 

ya mea blank

if you dont mind
Not at all~ 
This piece has been a headache but I’m not a quitter
good luck

oh keep in mind, before coloring better to the light source first
You dont need to remind me...
Thanks though
Sorry that was a bit rude of me
Im just getting really frustrated with this😂
i could tell, XD but hey rest a bit tyhen continue might help
I'll put in test colours and call it a day
I am making the webtoon for fun afterall
It shouldn't be a chore
ahh nice UmU
Test colour
….
I don’t like it
The first one has the better looking 86
The second one had better looking character
This is what frustrates me the most
Cause previous stuff looks better
This looks great but then this…
i could relate to this... and i think
rest up for today is the better option if im being honest, since i could tell your brain currently over heating
I would but there something really bothering me about the latest cover…
And I can’t sleep because of it
i understand, but trust me on this, sleep or rest then came back and you will find out what's that "missing part" is
You know what… maybe your right
No point stressing over something I can’t properly see
Before I go
Out of the 3
Which one do you prefer?
this one
since the composition is not too static and you are using a bold perspective
I think I’ll just stick with that one then…
Thanks for the help everyone
Take care

..nvm I can’t sleep 😂

I don’t get how every time I try to improve the cover it gets worse
there are a lot of aspect as to why....
What am I doing wrong here?

and this, this is quite handy
@limber harbor You need to stop with this chicken scratching, it does you no good. If you want to improve your lineart, try caligraphy or just plain ol' handwriting. Lines as long with a single stroke as you can. It's a good excersise in general. If you think your handwriting is and looks as bad as your strokes then you definitely have something to improve on. A lot of people struggle with just proper line drawing and without it, it makes the entire art creation process much more difficult.
Marc Brunet has a good channel if you're looking for useful beginner tips and there's a couple other channels too.
Is a sketch where a character has a certain element of restraints assumed at risk of removal? As far as I know you can't upload full bondage here, but if it's just only handcuffs?
I dont know off any rule ageinst bondege
anything sexual in nature is generally off this Discord, as per general Discord rules.
Foreshortening prac
I wouldn't say chicken scratch is the problem since they can be used for various things and getting ideas on paper. I think the proper term is lacking of confident lines.
@limber harbor My biggest advice is try thinking about the direct of lines and how shapes interact with each other. You shown that you have the ability to be quite the capable artist, it just feels like you are unsure how everything fits together. I would suggest playing around with perspective a bit as that seems to be the biggest weak point I think
I guess the best way to put it
"Embrace the suck"
Our art will never live up to our own standards, but don't be to harsh on yourself. You'll get better. Reality of practicing is you will consistently suck until one day you'll just figure out. But that doesn't mean to stop practicing
There is never a smoking gun that will automatically make you get better
fuck do I draw now

i still chicken scratch all my sketches 
Me too, sometimes i don't even know what's going on, but if it looks cool, it stays lol
I only ever chicken scratch when im making the most obscure ass sketch ever on purpose
otherwise, my sketches are my proper line art because I am very clean with them and will clean them up when making vague ideas
I dont like messy sketchwork personally, the lines blur together and it makes an actual lineart harder for me to make

yeah it means like numerous short lines to make a shape instead of longer and less lines
called chicken scratches since it resembles that
practicing to not chicken scratch takes too much effort 
I usually go back and clean my sketch before doing final line art. The key is confidence
Lines that don't have a sense of direction seem confusing to look at, it is hard to describe but something you can feel
kind of an example is like when you look at peoples vent drawings its usually very messy and scribbled
This project has been going on for half a year, and i dont think its gonna end soon... probably 2 more years...
consciously tried to avoid chicken scratch with today's daily practice but couldn't avoid it at all
@honest flume Lets not make comments like that towards those types of characters 
I will put this here, avrora yes. I messed up her right eye and the shading sorry.
