i call that warming up lol

just sketching

[vale stag]

I don't too. I just go straight to it with a pen.

But i sometimes do circles and boxes

[patent quarry]

damn i guess im the only one

[vale stag]

Nah it's a good habit to warm up before drawing

[oblique badge]

true

kinda like in sport

[deep hornet]

It's good habit to warm up before anything :LULE:

[patent quarry]

i just personally noticed that i need to get bad drawings out of my head before working on project lol

[icy vale]

I should try warming up before I do art fr fr

[mint root]

I have daily line practice that is basically my warm up

[dreamy basalt]

I do a rough sketch of stuff before i draw

Idk if that counts

Or I just scribble

[patent quarry]

yee i was just curious

[frigid wyvern]

Gesture drawings, markmaking exercises, basic shapes or life drawing are usually the activities I do for warmups

[patent quarry]

markmaking?

[frigid wyvern]

The process of making the lines, dots and other types of marks that make up your drawing

[icy vale]

Whoa wtf that's a nice circle, I'm shocked myself

[icy vale]

I'm thinking of making a Neuron pin , these three the last one is exclusively for the swarm artist joined together on the first two , still an idea though

[stable fulcrum]

Ace-detective

[limpid root]

yall do warmups?

[urban summit]

Yeah, I do.

[potent basalt]

room temperature rises while drawing

[urban summit]

put a weight on it. that should work.

[potent basalt]

anyway I think many artists have their own methods they prepare/warm-up to draw... I look up art to examine details

[agile breach]

is this one finished or about to me?

[thick gale]

Its already taking forever to draw smth proper, if ill take time to warm up, i wont draw at all lmao

[slender spade]

That was when it was still wip

[slender spade]

This is the finished one

[agile breach]

it is amazing, keep at it.

[patent quarry]

in my experience it kinda helps me draw and gets my ideas down faster when drawing properly on the project

like more work done i should say/ efficiency

[potent basalt]

I do some composing in my head before I begin drawing something usually

not that it means end result will use the idea really... like sometimes idea of my drawings tends to change during doing them

[storm flicker]

Roblox art lol

[chrome stirrup]

i miss old roblo

[rain mica]

Hello ! Sorry to bother any of you but does anyone know if you can (and/or) should post multiple pictures in the Art post channel thingy ? And can you add speed-paints ?

[storm flicker]

yeah

[chrome stirrup]

multiple pictures should be fine, the girls can only show one of them though

speedpaints would be timelapses so it would depend on the filetype, i don't think the girls can see gifs/videos during art review, but if youre okay that then its fine

[rain mica]

Oh oki ! Thank you very much 🩷

[potent basalt]

I have a drawing idea I'm excited to start drawing

[unborn salmon]

one of the most stressful thing ive made

[thick gale]

wow that looks sick

New photogrammetry practice(Original photo by Andrei Furnea)

[mint badge]

tweak the direction of the logs in the background, and the transition between two keyframes in 0:04 can be smoother(and sync with music), looking forward for more

[mint badge]

• Absorption I (120s)
• Regeneration II (5s)

[chrome stirrup]

oh damn that's good

what's your renderer?

[dry knot]

thanks for tip, will do that :3

[mint badge]

you know that the background is the reference image right?

[chrome stirrup]

oh lmao i thought you were done

[mint badge]

[dry knot]

but i cant tweak the logs since the whole map is fixed reason so I dont lag

[mint badge]

the wireframe is the stuff I done

[mint badge]

oof

[dry knot]

Mine-Imator is not as good as blender so its crap lmao

[mint badge]

only some rough shape sketches, I'll add the details after I done the rail road, that background building and stuff

[mint badge]

smh migrate to blender

[dry knot]

well, Im not into animation that much. I been using Mine-Imator for 2 years and built my yt channel on it, if I change then I will take time to learn the software and such. By then my animation schedule would be ruin :p

Im almost doing it for fun lol

[mint badge]

wait is this a mine-imator thing or it's just the map

[unborn salmon]

maybe a cool thing, i made it so that my animation is not a single fixed animation but rather a segments of animation that overrides each other to make combinations

[mint badge]

that's good!

[unborn salmon]

7 animations can make up to 9 combinations

[mint badge]

you can now do procedural animations

[unborn salmon]

basically 3^2 - 1

i need more variants though

[clever python]

is anyone here experienced with like, Undertale Shopkeeper sprites?
I think I need help to replace Gerson with someone else in my sprite comic..

[dry knot]

map, also bro saw my cringe herobrine content

mine-imator lets me import minecraft maps easily. I can manually make trees and import individual assets but it would take more memory and more lag. Lucky I got a RTX 3060 but still the software was made so poorly that if the map is massive then I would go from 200+ fps to 60 fps

https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/the-foxhole-forest/download/schematic/

the animation im making for Anny Vs Evil, im using a schematic which is fixed completely. Normal maps I can adjust how large sections I want to import

Can someone know the name of the song in the background

its la campanella by paganini, but maybe this post should be in general idk

[lone moat]

I did post in general but no response

[slim ravine]

Yeah I guess it makes sense that the artists would hang in the artist chat 🤔

[lone moat]

Yeah

Hate my self

The song was in my playlist but it was the piano version

Ahhhh I spent over an hour looking for it

[slim ravine]

yeah liszt has a very famous piano arrangement

[lone moat]

I didn’t recognize the violin version

what should i use for art on pc i just got the thing so theres nothing on here yet

[patent quarry]

Medibang is nice and easy

Krita too

[floral cairn]

ok thanks

[patent quarry]

Csp is one of the most popular that goes on sale for 20 bucks

Rn is about 50

Some say Photoshop but it files will be large

[floral cairn]

thank you i will remember this

aw man
i can't post art of my silly little daughter because i don't have embed perms

[cloud light]

I'm curious if anyone knows Ca, so I drew a photo of her cosplay Evil

I'm considering whether to finish drawing this picture

[potent basalt]

chat in general-network and with some effort it unlocks but yeah I get this is quite an inconvenience... it's to protect this community against spam

[cloud light]

oh her full name is Calne Ca

Her persona is a bit extreme, so I'm still considering whether to complete this picture

[potent basalt]

I was like why she looks like hatsune miku... caine ca I mean and quickly found out it was kind of fan design

[cloud light]

yeah she likes miku so it usually cosplay miku

[potent basalt]

I also found pvc statue design which wears five belts total around waist and hips XD

[cloud light]

She can be considered a subspecies of Miku

[potent basalt]

a lot of images present her as kind of horror version

[cloud light]

yeah, but I think her mechanical part is very cool lmao

[potent basalt]

there are so many different designs by people... some are quite "normal" and some really push it lol

but yeah cool stuff

[cloud light]

But I'm still considering it because her cosplay miku is asubspecies of miku and she appeared 10years ago

interesting thing is Canle Ca herself is not recognized as a subspecies of miku，but I'm not sure what to do, so forget it lol

have you asked churchie

I asked my graphic design artist friend !

Dunno if he'll accept but I can update you

dear god...

[warm spoke]

[real magnet]

question to art community which free program for starting digital artist would you recommend (i have a low budget tablet)

also welcome any tips that you might have

[warm spoke]

i think krita is good ?

that's what i use at least

[real magnet]

thanks will look into it and maybe keep yall posted if it comes out decent

[chrome stirrup]

mood board ready

[warm spoke]

[potent basalt]

looks like a dancing skeleton heh... just imagining something

[patent quarry]

What kind tablet?

Some apps are a bit heavier I feel

Krita is a heavier app, if andoird I reccomend sketchbook

I myself use a Samsung tab S7 fe

[chrome stirrup]

sheeee that's a good one

[real magnet]

Wacom Intuos Comic

[patent quarry]

Oh I don't think your drawing tablet would affect the anything

What's your computer specs? Performance is based on that

I've made art in OSU tablets so what gear you have doesn't matter imo

[real magnet]

my pc's pretty good so i wouldnt worry about that

[patent quarry]

Yeah so I'd reccomend medibang and krita

[real magnet]

tyy

[haughty echo]

krita is great, if you have money to spare clip studio is good as well

[patent quarry]

Csp is really good

One time payment for 20 bucks during sales

[vast flax]

[vast flax]

Krita
And if you are ready to sacrifice your will to live and your fingers and get motion sickness
Ibis

Krita

Ibis

And this is what
Fuck it we ball software

[haughty echo]

tbf ibis is bearable if you get one of those stylus with little plastic disc on the tip

used that for years

[vast flax]

I had it
I forgot to bring it with me to college

So I got lazy and started doing sketches with finger

[patent quarry]

My friends have used drawpile and I frequently draw with them on magma

[haughty echo]

the last time I used magma the canvas was full of things I can't ever show to the general public

[iron halo]

ive got such a devious idea for a drawing but i have so many other ideas i wanna do first

[slender swan]

Why motion sickness?

[haughty echo]

Probably something to do with how you're constantly zooming in and out on a smaller screen

[frozen jungle]

Fellow creatives.

I need assistance.

Is anyone willing to volunteer to the cause?

[icy vale]

[frozen jungle]

I simply need someone to give their honest opinion of an image I somewhat influenced into existence.

[icy vale]

I'm not that great at giving opinions but I'll be happy to if ur okay with it

[frozen jungle]

That's fine.

I'm trying to have outside perspective of what this image means.

I can interpret it one way, I simply need further input from others.

[thick gale]

it looks like turned upside dowm ac logo lmao

[frozen jungle]

Really? Huh.

Upside Down AC.

Strange how things turn out, honestly.

[icy vale]

It is ,

[thick gale]

So many people, so many opinions

[icy vale]

It looks off with the highly detailed middle art and a somewhat simple art on the outside

[frozen jungle]

I simply thought the ornate fashion the central theme to be unique.
The simpler accents compliment the inner shape.

Since it is kind of funny to me that it literally is AC upside down.

Want to further elaborate what you see through the image?

[icy vale]

First thing I saw was..... Badonkers

Idk why

[thick gale]

in that resolution it is overloaded with details, as i cant see them anyways

[frozen jungle]

All opinions are valid, so no judgment.

[frozen jungle]

Badonkers? How so? Can you maybe specify what that means to you?

[thick gale]

but it looks nice

[frozen jungle]

Thank you.

[frozen jungle]

Overloaded huh? Hm... Okay.

[thick gale]

only bc of the resolution

[frozen jungle]

Right.

[thick gale]

if it will be bigger it will look good

[icy vale]

Idk what it means to me, don't get me wrong it's an amazing logo

It looks like something a knight would put on his pauldrons

[frozen jungle]

I personally don't think it's extravagant, but it is unique.

[icy vale]

Warhammer style

[frozen jungle]

Huh.

Nice.

[frozen jungle]

Know someone who could help me draw up the frameworks of something inspired by this image?

[thick gale]

not sure

[frozen jungle]

Any level of skill is adequate.

I really don't mind anyone willing to help.

[icy vale]

THURSDAY COLLAB WITH VEDAL

Oop wrong chat

[mint root]

What do you need specifically?

[frozen jungle]

Personalized touch from the Artist to increase the quality of the image.

Free will to interpret, design and what not.

I simply wanted a reference point in this initial stage before moving up to another level.

[frozen jungle]

Would you like to volunteer at simply creating your own version of the image posted?

[potent basalt]

I'm really more about being a character artist but I can tell my opinion about the logo... I agree with other people it's very detailed... it looks like necklace, choker, collar, or something personally due it looks like there is depth instead of it being flat. Something fancy which some ruler or whatever could wear around their neck as their symbolic thing

[frozen jungle]

Perhaps you can freestyle a character then?

[signal tide]

time to mess it up

by my pathetic color aesthetic

[dark egret]

Well, dear friends. It seems, with Camila's new Live2D model, my drawing has become outdated since it references the 2.0. Lol

I'm now internally debating if I should just scrap it and start from scratch, try to adapt it to the new model or just finish it.

[mint root]

I say finish it

[mint root]

Going off of the detailed part looking like a necklace,I did a quick sketch. You can really see how I suck at anatomy perspective

[frozen jungle]

So far, it's amazing.

You're doing good, actually.

I do hope you will eventually add more colour schemes to the overall portrayal.

[icy vale]

Ur artstyle is so mature I like it

[dark egret]

Aight sure. I'll have to rush it to get it out of the way.

I still can't believe Camila became Gigi's sister though. Lmao

[mint root]

I did it as warm up, I still have stuff to finish. You can definitely add more to the design

[frozen jungle]

Ièm not particularly skilled in the manners of technology like you are, unfortunately.

[vast flax]

I once worked on a pice for 14 hours

Or form
Someone suggested to me once a mecha fruit bat girl that is also a mechanic…

[cloud light]

This mechanical legs are too difficult to draw…

[faint valley]

Ye

[cloud sky]

Is it weird I would love my OC as a vtuber model just because I want it and not because I’d use it

[oblique badge]

We're waiting for the debut

[faint valley]

Nope, that is cool

[cloud sky]

it ain’t ever happening though. So expensive!

[faint valley]

It is

[cloud sky]

Buying a vtuber model is an investment
Like a down payment for a house or car

And I don’t have that seed money LMAO.

(also I wouldn’t treat it like it investment, it would just be a funny thing to own)

[cloud light]

this is the color draft. I plan to refine it tomorrow because I'm going to sleep

[main orchid]

But think of the PFP possibilities with having a model. Various expressions, reacts, stickers. Having a model is like infinite variety of your OC.

[cloud light]

yeah the important things is to make yourself happy

I am trying to create a live2d model for my OC (but I am not doing it very well)

[foggy gulch]

[chrome spade]

Chat I need advice

How tf do I make the left leg look normal perspective wise I have been struggling for like 2h on this

[patent quarry]

Foreshorten it

Have you made the leg a box?

Currently the leg is too far from the body

Feet is parallel so that's good

[chrome spade]

Hmm lemme try

[patent quarry]

When a person is walking, their body doesn't lean back , rather the only the leg bends and moves forward

[keen lark]

That's cute!

You could buy a Suiika model maybe, they’re cheap but are pretty high quality.

They’re customizable too.

[grave lichen]

couldve done better

[upper gull]

Pretty!

[coral vault]

nice art

[grave lichen]

i messed up with the anatomy 😭

[upper gull]

I need to work on some new art eventually

[grave lichen]

I was scared if i should upload it in the first place 😭😭

[upper gull]

It's ok, I don't know how to draw humans well so you've already done way better lol

[grave lichen]

thing is, i already understand anatomy to a not that full of a scale but nearly 😭

i could show you my previous artworks

because im originally a traditional artist

[upper gull]

I mainly just draw pokemon or kirby stuff. Made this concept of paradox Azumarill awhile ago

[upper gull]

ooo

[patent quarry]

nice

[grave lichen]

here

[upper gull]

I don't know much about drawing anatomy lol. I mean I drew my pfp but that's the most human-like I've gotten

[grave lichen]

itd kinda old but you get the point

[upper gull]

ohh, that's really detailed

[patent quarry]

anatomy is fun

[upper gull]

Really cool

[grave lichen]

yeah

[upper gull]

I remember learning cross-hatching

[grave lichen]

its really fun to play with if you know how thr body works

[upper gull]

I think that's how it's spelt

[grave lichen]

yeah

so I've also somewhat mastered crosshatching

[upper gull]

ooo

[grave lichen]

but i dont think im a master😭

im only 15

😭

[upper gull]

Looks really well done, my art wasn't anywhere near that level when I was that young lol

[patent quarry]

thats super young lol

yeah

[grave lichen]

Nowadays, younger generation of artists are better thanks to the wide information of the internet

[upper gull]

Yeah and more stuff like drawing tablets has helped art a lot too.

[grave lichen]

I think i hav other drawings too

[upper gull]

I mainly just use krita to draw my art if I make any, haven't done much art on paper in awhile

[grave lichen]

I don't have a drawing tablet but i did use krita and a mouse to draw back then

its surprisingly easy to draw with a mouse

[upper gull]

I use my mouse, drawing tablets are expensive sadly

For some reason I don't struggle as much with Krita than I do with other art programs

[grave lichen]

heres some artworks i can show

[grave lichen]

for me it's ibis paint,

its a really versatile and useful program for art

[patent quarry]

the expensive drawing tablets arent really needed for good art

[next valve]

[upper gull]

I've never used one before, I just remember people talking about there being a delay on some of the cheaper ones

What are you even talking about

We are already in cult, you cant invite us in other one to betray ours

[frozen jungle]

It’s a social contract, mutual agreement to the new age that is coming.

We are part of a cult, yes.

I’m only trying to define what those mutual agreements are between us.

Simply put, identifying key points within our shared bonds of interest.

We all have boundaries, we just need to identify where we must stop and are permitted to go.

This document is the seed of an idea, an understanding for our collective.

That’s it.

Anyways, I will now lurk.

That’s impressive as hell. You’re going places, kid. Keep it up and you’ll definitely be a master. 😎 👍

[potent basalt]

well done... interesting takes of tarot cards... they're often nowhere near as detailed

[haughty echo]

damn that's sick

[potent basalt]

I found undertale tarot prints but those are just cards with characters names

[buoyant gorge]

I’ve already committed myself to the full detail route as I suck at trying to simplify my process 😅

[buoyant gorge]

thankies

How have you been Clord? Any new drawings?

[potent basalt]

yeah I recently finished one but I can't link it here

[buoyant gorge]

glad you got to finish a new piece tho

neuro related?

[potent basalt]

I drew rosiebellmoo but I wasn't 100% sure if it was not enough PG-13 for here and my latest drawing definitely is not lol... it's on over at deviantart

I should drink some water

when I get into zone of drawing I don't really feel as easily when to eat or drink

[buoyant gorge]

looks good 👍. Art is art after all. Keep at it. And yeah, probably better to have been on the safer side 😆

Mmm love the lighting

I’ve been trying to learn pixel art animation (and animation in general)

[patent quarry]

i think i started with too hard of a pose im gonna struggle with the body ;-;

[buoyant gorge]

I love how smooth the motions of the animation feels.

[urban summit]

Looks like it's made from Flipnote Studio.

[cloud light]

I just started refining and already felt tired now

[mint root]

You'll get used to it soon enough, keep at it

[buoyant gorge]

relatable pain 🫠

[potent basalt]

hehe yeah... it doesn't take long to realize if one likes something like Carbot Animations why his style is rather simple and even many animations at youtube that take like months aren't generally this animated and use various anime tricks like sliding characters across screen, etc...

your drawing looks so close to rotoscoped or something

does look nice though, would fit right into some kind of retro style game

[limpid root]

costumes, feeding cats, gazing at the stars, unaliving people, etc.

[urban summit]

um, uh, yes.

[potent basalt]

I just remember it was such a huge deal how much CGI the movie used

or rather editing... not sure if it all counts as CGI

[urban summit]

jongen

Good night y'all.

[faint valley]

Yes… costumes

[main orchid]

They did this using a transition cut with an older actor, Harrison Young.

[potent basalt]

yeah it seemed like overlaying two images... or whatever the term is for it

looking closely you can tell how the other one vanish

[main orchid]

It's like animorphs, but practical.

[brittle sun]

initial sketch over rough and base color

was trying to learn how to draw and they're one of the people who's styles is inspiring to me/what I want to try and be influenced by

[scenic adder]

it's paccha!

[onyx patio]

As the person said above yeah. You can check Paccha's art in #1095941852068331560 forum thread (and I guess using the discord search to find only Paccha's art). Also Paccha mostly chat at #neurotic-neurons just sometime.

hey mates!!

[potent basalt]

hi

[patent quarry]

i got myself some water color stuff, any tips?

[radiant garden]

I had a friend who used Watercolor for a bit, the best advice I could give is, be okay with making mistakes, gaining experience and improving is the important thing. I'm in no ways an expert, but I think that is sound advice.

[patent quarry]

thank you, im looking for more practical rules tho, im a digital artist trying with water color

[late sail]

i think its important that you have the right paper for sure ... other than that, im not so well versed in water colour ^^'

[patent quarry]

yee i got the paper

[haughty echo]

if you have the right paper dont be afraid of wetting it

just don't get it soaked

[patent quarry]

ive heard wet on wet and wet on dry

imma try to experiment later but not sure if theres anything else to look out for

[haughty echo]

and depending on the type of watercolor you got, don't mix too much paint into the water, which is what most people do. It's supposed to be watery

if the color isn't vibrant on the first few strokes, thats okay

wait for it to dry, layer it

[patent quarry]

i got my trusty electronic blower for drying it

[haughty echo]

youre armed to the teeth

feel free to try mixing the colors on the paper, gradients are really fun to do with watercolor

good luck

[patent quarry]

aight 10q so much

[haughty echo]

god that hair shading is so good

[potent basalt]

it's interesting how each artist has their own preferences about these things

like way they want to shade... I'm into soft shading

[brittle sun]

i wanted to basically clean up my art a bit bcs imo it got a bit too messy to my liking

[haughty echo]

thats interesting

I used to use clean brushes, nowadays I just use messier brush as my lineart

[buoyant gorge]

holy cow you bump out a new piece every time I log on. How do ppl draw that fast

[potent basalt]

I think with a lot of artists it's about not having a "real" day job

It's difficult to tell what her favorite is, I know she's given us multiple pokemon so maybe she's forming an entire team :o

[slender spade]

Back to my usual

[potent basalt]

yeah... way the long term memory works makes it rather inconsistent... and sometimes she just ignores her long term memory to contradict it

[patent quarry]

little update from past post, decided to change the hand for a bit, i still feel it feels off

[limpid root]

fingers have 3 knuckles, so divide each in 3

then make it a little round

also the length of each fingers look quite similar

the ring and little ones should be a lil shorter

just my attempt tho

[mint root]

Aside from length and 3 joints eggs mentioned, the distance from knuckle to first joints are also very short

[steady tulip]

Is finally done omg I’m so dead

Animation hard

[buoyant gorge]

looks great! That was pretty fast too from the WIP you sent before.

[steady tulip]

Thanks! I think the fact that it’s pixel art let me go fast and hide a lot of the errors

[potent basalt]

yeah... big pixels so there is more leeway that it still feels right... even knowing physics might not in real world handle it like that

Good work

so cool

[frigid wyvern]

Beautiful and eerie. It kind of reminds me of PluviumGrandis

[mint badge]

most of the structures are done(no textures yet tho, it's just a photogrammetry practice)

[buoyant gorge]

Aw thanks. I look up to Pluvium’s artstyle a lot so that means a lot.

[buoyant gorge]

woah, the contrast looks sick

[mint badge]

cough please mind that the background is the reference image. while the wireframe is the work I done. Hence "photogrammetry"

[buoyant gorge]

ohhh

neat

what is photogrammetry typically used for?

[mint badge]

why are people thinking the background is the render lmao

[mint badge]

recreating 3d object/scene from pictures

[buoyant gorge]

i think, like me, its just a lack of understanding of photogrammetry’s scope in general

[mint badge]

3d scanning is an example of it

but what I'm doing here is, manually recreating the scene by modelling the scene "relatively" based on some perspective solving technique(basically camera tracking but on a single image)

which is cool

[potent basalt]

cool

one good example of using 3D scanning is the talos principle games... they used bunch of ruins they were allowed to utilize and made things like walls, statues, etc out of them

it makes sense people would think background is made in 3D or something when it looks like it

[mint badge]

my recreation matched the original too well

[dark egret]

When drawing facial features, do you guys put them above the hair, hide it behind or do a semi-transparent effect like I did here?

[iron halo]

im super inconsistent with this myself

usually either fully under or just fully visible through the hair

[patent quarry]

Eye brows are always out bc they show a lot of expression

But for the eyes, I always cover them personally

Unless the art style in trying to reference from doesn't

[haughty echo]

If the focus is on the expression then it's probably best to do what you're doing

[iron halo]

i used to forget eyebrows entirely

[teal snow]

OH MY GOD, IM SO LATE BUT CALNE CA MENTION !!!!!!

[broken marlin]

Ishdbdjdh

I wnat my art role

[potent basalt]

I generally try to have eyes uncovered... I sometimes make them transparent if I really want to have hair over them... eyebrows I generally just have fully visible

I also can relate to forgetting eyebrows

happened with gemini art lol

[buoyant gorge]

me too. why does it happen so often 😭

[oblique badge]

im constantly forgetting eye highlights T_T

[oblique badge]

I look at eyes and cant figure out whats wrong

[potent basalt]

I have also forgotten tail... like pose makes so much sense to include tail due it wouldn't make sense it's hidden entirely behind something XD

[deep hornet]

Cute

[pearl plover]

Cute viv

[buoyant gorge]

I actually forgot the tail for 3 recent pieces so I know how u feel 😅. Only remembered at the last second near the end of the rendering process for each of the pieces.

[potent basalt]

convenience of making art digitally plays the role I think... it's easy to just get so focused and then not properly check the overall piece XD

[buoyant gorge]

Thanks

[potent basalt]

got it ^^ hyperrealism also is one of those fields where it's not really clear so when artists do good job they have to inform people if they drew something... personally I think it's better to aim for some stylization but that's just me

I have found that I am currently unable to draw anything and I only can draw neuro and evil now

that's pretty strange

I decided to take some design liberties with pokemon to fit better to "my style"

I posted this so idk, but if ur unsure you can ask #contact-mods @mild marsh

[analog dune]

Am I able to ask for advice on how to improve my drawing here

[mild marsh]

I did it already

[warm spoke]

[icy vale]

Yes, artist in this time of day is few but ull get ur answers

[analog dune]

As long as I get any criticism, I'm fairly new and need fresh eyes

I know the shading is bad and the perspective of items on the desk is wonky

I just don't know how to fix them

[icy vale]

If you want refs see pins if not seek an artist that will help you here

[warm spoke]

maybe increase the contrast for the shading

[analog dune]

Refs would definitely be helpful

[analog dune]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, it's too bright in the shaded areas

[warm spoke]

like, here, it's too close to the other color

[icy vale]

Or if you want some perspective refs, search my name in this channel by links, I've shared some Twitter refs before if that helps a little

[analog dune]

Oh good catch, ty

[analog dune]

I'll definitely take you up on that

[haughty echo]

i feel like the rest of the room should just be way darker, if its that bright she wouldn't need that desk lamp

[analog dune]

Yeah I already started making the shading darker lol I didn't even realize until after I posted it

Should be gloomy like her

[warm spoke]

some shading in the leafs would be good too ig

[trim ridge]

i am dumb i dont know how shadowing work

[analog dune]

I have 0 idea how to draw plants lol

I tried to shade it but struggled

[haughty echo]

Also you worked on that so fast tuna, you started like an hour ago

[analog dune]

Wdym? I posted it last night lol

I had already started making it darker since then

I missed a lot of shaded areas too like under her arm

[haughty echo]

i think i time travelled nvm

[icy vale]

Oh it's on the art thread, mb (I mean all the links I've shared)

Lemme find it

Heres the old artist thread #artist-alley message

[analog dune]

I'll give it a shot thanks

[icy vale]

I can't seem to search on mobile so idk if you can in desktop

[analog dune]

yup I got the thread open ty

[warm spoke]

i hope it'll work out

[analog dune]

I guess in hindsight I should have shared what I already worked on since then

the shading on the hair seems a bit wonky

but I made the books bigger

[haughty echo]

oh thats a huge improvement

[warm spoke]

[analog dune]

yippee

yeah contrast makes a world of difference for sure

I wish I could shade hair though

it looks too flat

[warm spoke]

you could add another range of shade

[analog dune]

oh like a shadier shade?

ohhh I see it now

ty

[haughty echo]

I'd suggest you to fully shade the pot and the books next to it, cuz the desk lamp's light is mostly directional

you can experiment with that

[warm spoke]

[iron halo]

i think all of the hair behind the headphones would be the darker shade

[analog dune]

yeah true, idk why more than 2 tone shading didnt occur to me lol

[iron halo]

then that shadow on the front wouldnt be nearly as big

[warm spoke]

yw !

[iron halo]

this is kinda what i was thinking

[analog dune]

ohh I see it now

[iron halo]

looking at it again actually the lamp seems to be behind evil

[haughty echo]

it is

[iron halo]

so the side facing us should probably be largely in shadow

[analog dune]

I definitely didn't plan where the lamp was lol

I'm still thinking in 2D it seems

[warm spoke]

i'm curious, what software do you use ?

[analog dune]

procreate on ipad

[haughty echo]

dang fancy

its too good for my skill level thats for sure

I tried using a drawing tablet but I really like being able to move the picture around with my fingers

[warm spoke]

oh i see !

[haughty echo]

i have a screen tablet but I hate it, I just use a screenless one

[analog dune]

so if the lamp is behind evil's head then that means the shading is completely off

[warm spoke]

it comes with practice

[haughty echo]

if you want to maintain the lamp position while still keeping the focus on her face, make her eyes glow a little

[analog dune]

like add little white highlight? or make them brighter

[haughty echo]

try both and compare

I started using pureref and its really handy for collecting references

[iron halo]

i use that too

[icy vale]

Ngl what a strange motivation, I've been having motivation to draw Neuro's friends

[iron halo]

i have a big collection

[icy vale]

Rn I am both drawing Ellie and camimi rn

[iron halo]

largely official hoyoverse art

[warm spoke]

YEESSSSS

[icy vale]

I prob should refs the color schemes of the arts I like

I brute force it without knowledge

[analog dune]

my references so far for this piece

[iron halo]

i have a devious and evil idea for camila but it has to wait

[icy vale]

Aight imma give a wip lemme take a pic

[haughty echo]

holy i have like less than 7 completed drawings in the past 4 years

[patent quarry]

How do you guys arrange ur ref like that?

[analog dune]

I just drag them around

or do you mean the program

[icy vale]

I was thinking of changing it to >< instead of - - the eyes I mean. Icant seem to pick one though

[patent quarry]

Program

[analog dune]

pureref

[icy vale]

Ooo I should use something like that for refs fr

[iron halo]

those are not my drawings just to be clear

[patent quarry]

That would've been useful 🤡

[icy vale]

Putting my refs in the canvas is pain cuz I kept needed to zoom in and out while drawing

[patent quarry]

I've just used csp reference window

[analog dune]

yeah I stopped doing that, it gets too painful

[icy vale]

Do u have a download link?

So we can ask it to be pinned

[analog dune]

https://www.pureref.com/download.php?forcePlatform=mac

[patent quarry]

What gear do you guys use? I've asked this before lol

[analog dune]

it defaults to donating money but you can put 0 dollars to try it for free

[iron halo]

its not really trying

you can just keep it for free

[haughty echo]

define gear

[analog dune]

well yeah I was being courteous to the devs

[icy vale]

@cloud sky can u pin this? it's super helpful

[analog dune]

I plan on buying it when I have spare income

[patent quarry]

What do you use to draw

[icy vale]

This one

You can look into it first before pinning if u want

[iron halo]

kamvas 24 plus

[haughty echo]

mini deco7 xp pen

[warm spoke]

thoughts or any criticism ? (i made that while in my philosophy class, i might redraw it for a 3D model ref)

[analog dune]

for ipad users vizref is available but I think it costs money

[haughty echo]

i have a pro artist 12 but I dont use it

[analog dune]

and its a pain managing windows and drawing anyways

[icy vale]

Huion Inspiroy, but I want a screen tablet so I can draw acceptably, my hand eye coords is shit sometimes if I don't see my hands

[patent quarry]

Mmm play OSU lmao

[iron halo]

i will say that drawing on a screen tablet is nice but it will not make you draw better

[icy vale]

I use mouse

[patent quarry]

Yeah I've just been on fence if I should invest in a pen display

[iron halo]

so dont blow several hundred on one for that

[patent quarry]

I MUST CONSUME

[icy vale]

Yea but the felling of seeing where the line goes while seeing it with my eyes near my hands is better for me

[iron halo]

its purely luxury

[haughty echo]

I'd suggest checking the gamma rating of whatever screen tablet you wanna buy, I dont use mine cuz the visuals are different than any other screen so whatever I draw on that thing looks bland on other screens

[iron halo]

something thats nice to have

[icy vale]

I draw fine in pen and paper cuz I can see my hands drawing the lines

[patent quarry]

I got the new Wacom tablet coming in

Screen less, excited to break it in

I've been liking the look of the thicker pen

[icy vale]

Well preferences I guess

I like it more that I can see my hands where it's going

[patent quarry]

I do have a galaxy tablet that I sometimes draw on

[iron halo]

that can apply to an extent but what i said still applies

[wide river]

Bordermap of Paradise (Final Days of the Great Paradise War)

[patent quarry]

Yeah no 100%

Me playing PC games just transfered more easily to a pen tablet

[royal parrot]

Valley of the artists

[icy vale]

Hi blue mage

[wide river]

wololo

[haughty echo]

I limit my tablet's active area for drawing, I'm not sure if that's normal

im just too used to playing osu with tiny active area

[patent quarry]

I think the concert with that is wrist pain and stuff

[iron halo]

my pc might not be able to handle what im currently working on

im looking at about 130 layers right now and its not even close to done

the vast majority of that is this little (and still unfinished) spot

[cloud sky]

:3c

[analog dune]

What a stinker

[analog dune]

yeesh, looks amazing though

okay hows it looking now

compared to before
