Maybe some cute kemono version of my design
Or actually work on my 2.0 and figure out the hair/outfit/etc. that I’ve been kind of struggling with

plain dagger

faint valley
#

My main issue right now is making the design more interesting and have better contrast

plain dagger
#

Like color contrast or item contrast

elder python

for example

#

highlights in the model’s eyes

#

or shading

#

Ugh any tips on drawing anime hair I been having issues trying to do hair

plain dagger
#

sankyu my goat i see you typing

low kiln
#

I feel like in this I should have done hair lines more on outside instead of inside of hair area

#

If you know what I mean?

dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

Most art I have looked at had lines coming from the outer edge to the inner instead of just being in the inside mostly

elder python
low kiln
#

🤔

dreamy jolt
low kiln
dreamy jolt
elder python
#

i mean u can draw anime hair in different ways

low kiln
#

Yeah

plain dagger
low kiln
#

It's just I got the eyes to look super anime but I just can't get the hair and that's really what I'm trying to do

dreamy jolt
#

well you just need to make it believable there no really a right way to do it

low kiln
#

And I'm using keyboard and mouse that makes this even harder but I do want to try to do it on mouse

low kiln
#

It's my first week I can just keep practicing hair and eventually it will look good

elder python
plain dagger
dreamy jolt
#

draw anime hair and add extra www

elder python
low kiln
#

Could use neurosama as a reference of how to do good hair

plain dagger
scenic adder
low kiln
plain dagger
plain dagger
#

but then

#

emotes are also

#

ehhh

#

cus its chibi style

low kiln
#

I pretty much do chibi

scenic adder
low kiln
#

Ok

plain dagger
#

its meant to be a 3d model

low kiln
#

I haven't really watched much videos on art I really should

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

the hair isnt the most accurate

scenic adder
#

what about live2d models

plain dagger
#

oh wait

#

myf

#

Not 3d

low kiln
plain dagger
#

sorry i meant

scenic adder
#

also vtubers have reference sheets pretty often, these would be pretty helpful

plain dagger
#

The layering is supposed to be for different moving parts is it not

plain dagger
plain dagger
#

i meant the model in like streams and whatnot

#

screenshots of the model essentially

#

i wouldnt recommend

low kiln
#

Ok

scenic adder
#

honestly dont see anything bad in taking model as a reference personally but up to you ig

low kiln
#

😆

low kiln
#

Anyways I need to practice

#

Soon

elder python
#

same (never)

plain dagger
#

😭

plain dagger
low kiln
#

I'm looking at a lot of art and it seems like here has some pretty thin lines

plain dagger
dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

Oh ok

plain dagger
#

idk then 💀

dreamy jolt
low kiln
plain dagger
# low kiln Oh ok

Like firstly trace it to get an idea of it(don’t post it ofc its merely for practice) then try to draw it side by side and then lastly attempt it by yourself without a reference

low kiln
#

And I know a lot of Japanese artists and I'm trying to go for a more Japanese style because I am not fond of some Western art style

dreamy jolt
dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

I don't want manga style

dreamy jolt

Anyways I got to go eat breakfast

faint valley
#

Been reading this character design book and this kind of stood out to me

#

This too

low kiln
dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

and then

#

find your own afterwards

low kiln
#

Yeah I really do wish I could get an art tablet Sunday because mouse is difficult

#

But I've been wanting to kind of master using mouse

#

I can switch over if I really need to in the future

dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

Yes

#

Fr

#

For sure with like curved lines

dreamy jolt
#

tablet is fell really weird when I first switch to it

low kiln
#

Noted

elder python
#

i need a bigger tablet than the one i have rn

#

and some kind of stand for it

#

my neck is not pleased with my posture when i draw

low kiln
#

I could use this as reference

#

if I wanted to try like monochrome

elder python
plain dagger
#

true enough

elder python
#

i have some ideas to draw but i either do the uni stuff or just play games nachoComfy

dreamy jolt
elder python
#

im planning to either change my uni specialization or just drop out nachoComfy

elder python
#

and i just dont like what im doing there
not hard, but just not what i wanted

plain dagger
#

What major

dreamy jolt
elder python
#

applied math and computer science + artificial intelligence

potent shard
#

damn...

#

I am out

plain dagger
#

gl gang

#

what year

plain dagger
elder python
dreamy jolt
elder python
plain dagger
#

yeah gl man

elder python
#

or ig maybe its a first year but i cant know

elder python
#

anyways if i passed an english exam i could become an economist

dreamy jolt
elder python
#

lucky

plain dagger
#

if i had money id buy it

dreamy jolt
elder python
#

i probably can just stop giving a care about uni and study enough to just not drop out while focusing on drawing and all
rn i study only not to lose a montlhy scholarship

plain dagger
#

bills tho

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

true

#

if i did id get kicked out

elder python
plain dagger
#

💔

dreamy jolt
elder python
plain dagger
#

you could make millions 💔

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

at most

#

but still

#

if you do merch or something it could be better

#

Or work for a company

#

Maybe a game company

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

they definitely would

#

your artstyle stands out and is consistent

#

thats what people want

elder python
#

id prefer to draw my own things/commissions from other people rather than draw for a company

plain dagger
elder python
#

i mean i dont need much to survive

#

if the money is the issue ill just get a regular job

plain dagger
#

fair enough

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

man i wish i could buy

plain dagger
elder python
low kiln
#

I wondering if I should just do hair lineless because just easier to do so on mouse

plain dagger
oblique badge
#

my brother

plain dagger
elder python
#

i think a good way of getting commissions is to draw smth in different servers
for example u hop onto some game server
draw stuff about it
people see it and like it
and it creates a potential situation for u to be commissioned

plain dagger
#

sankyu art is so based

elder python
#

at least thats how it worked for me

low kiln
#

doing hair like this then highlighting and shading is 100% easier for me

oblique badge
# dreamy jolt no www

If you want to draw for cheap so much, make normal price and when you open comms, make a big discount for like first 3 customers

plain dagger
plain dagger
#

like

#

um

#

uh

#

lemme see if i can outline

low kiln
#

like do this

plain dagger
low kiln
#

this what you meant?

plain dagger
#

Very rough

#

Im in a car

#

so

#

but anyways

#

The blue is the jaw

low kiln
plain dagger
#

the red is hair

plain dagger
low kiln
plain dagger
#

The hair doesnt really

#

Connect to the face

#

idk how to explain bro 😭

deep hornet
#

Don't draw the hair on the face shape, kinda

plain dagger
#

yeah

low kiln
plain dagger
dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

yes

low kiln
plain dagger
#

and also i think your jaw is a bit too wide

low kiln
plain dagger
#

yes

#

red is the hair

low kiln
#

ok

plain dagger
#

blue is my version of the jaw

#

very rough though like i said

#

im using my finger

lean tangle
#

Anyone have ss of neuro saying anything funny or crazy? I want to use that as an idea to draw something

elder python
#

sorry i dont watch neuro-sama nachoKyuru

plain dagger
#

oblique badge
deep hornet
#

:PagMan: FORSEN LORE

low kiln
plain dagger
low kiln
#

mouse is harder then using finger

plain dagger
#

my point was just that

#

it shouldnt be connected

#

thats all

#

you shouldnt follow it directly

low kiln
#

also wanted to try doing hair without lines to see if easier for me

#

really just lineless in general might work better for me

#

for now

dreamy jolt
#

Shameless WIP plug btw

plain dagger
#

absolutely based

plain dagger
#

what pen

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
#

damn

#

saving that

#

Good to know

low kiln
dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

yeah

plain dagger
#

start with lineart

#

then move onto lineless

low kiln
#

lineless easier on mouse though

low kiln
plain dagger
low kiln
#

still I wanna do lineless

plain dagger
#

like

#

start with lineless?

low kiln
#

my first drawing kinda was lineless

dreamy jolt
#

Lineless is fun ngl

low kiln
#

yes

#

it fun

#

less frustrating

plain dagger
#

ive never really done a full lineless

#

however

#

when i did a bit

#

I found that lineless is just lined art with different color lines

#

However that might just be my process

low kiln
#

isn't it mostly shapes though

plain dagger
#

you mean like

low kiln
#

seems can make it kinda well with shape tools

plain dagger
#

lasso tool art?

#

Or literal shapes

dreamy jolt
#

lineless is hard though, used to do a lot of it when I still in that mood

low kiln
dreamy jolt
#

yo shape tool, that crazy haven't seen anyone use that

#

but if you do lineless try watch artist do oil paint or acrylic it might help

low kiln
#

moving from lineless to lined art after getting tablet could be kinda easy

#

if lineless is harder

#

btw this like my 4th day doing digital art ever

#

or 5th idk

dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

yeah

#

btw should I start doing sketches because I never really used sketches when drawing I normally went right to line art

low kiln
dreamy jolt
# low kiln yeah

well some of the first thing I post to the internet is lineless so it worth a try

dreamy jolt
low kiln
#

I gonna do lineless a little bit but next time I do lined maybe

#

looking good

plain dagger
#

half my art is sketches

#

I drew sketches every night for half of october

low kiln
#

some lineless I just did

dreamy jolt
plain dagger
low kiln
#

uuh why is there random white blob in hair

plain dagger
dreamy jolt
dreamy jolt
low kiln
plain dagger
#

and rendering lwk

#

i mean ik i have to practice eventually

#

but like this by itself is enough for me

#

sort of semi-clean sketches ig

#

idk how I’m supposed to describe it

low kiln
#

fixed the white blob and some other hair stuff

#

I acually think like lineless looks better then my lined art

deep hornet
#

I also like doing sketches only :forsenOkay:

dreamy jolt
#

and Im lazy so I like line art www

I use mouse to handle interface despite using drawing tablet to handle drawing part mostly... aside of few things like rotating canvas

I have gotten better at doing art that looks like a mess before I clean it up and then it looks like lines were so intentional lol... which they kind of are, I take advantage of breaking up lines and leave some of that in

plain dagger

i need practice man

potent basalt

#

u can always change the prices anyway

If I can eventually get an artist and either a live2d rigger or 3d artist to flesh it out and make it usable, yeah
I’ve been streaming for over 3 years now with my current design

hello guys, i have been a long time artist for this server and i want to give thanks to everyone that supported me, but just a piece of mind, please use this community as an opportunity to connect to wonderful people and when your artistic ideals clash with the servers image of what art should be and only be allowed, do not fold and instead pursue what you really want, scheduled art streams are the best way to showcase your skills and connect to a larger audience, hope you guys have a nice day HuTaoWaves

potent basalt
#

algorithms are a bit mystery on various sites... in their own ways

iron halo
#

I believe twitter doesn't even have a traditional algorithm now

#

It's just grok

#

i mean, do you imagine how many tweets are people posting everyday? i dont think ai has such power to analyze all of them

iron halo
#

I have a friend who uses grok a little too much and apparently he finds it better now

#

I remember when deviantart decided to suddenly blow up my account like it's a lottery win by algorithm... people can experience same thing on various sites... suddenly for whatever reason algorithm floods you with impressions by other people and after the fact it's a mystery as of what scored so highly for it

iron halo
#

Either way if twitter just becomes pointless to post on then I'm probably just not gonna bother

potent basalt
#

people often talk about how certain tags would give results but it also works for words in your posts... having words like "catgirl" XD when they are more likely to see your post in their home feed if algorithm thinks they like posts containing that word... also if someone searches word "catgirl" for example it detects both hasthtag and non-hashtag versions and sorts them

also yeah popular tags like heartheartart and many other vtuber tags are quite good for visibility... also if vtuber tends to like art about them and retweet then that usually also has quite an impact

iron halo
#

Yeah my biggest posts definitely just ride off of a vtubers fame

#

Maybe I'll try just some keywords with another thing I got cooking at home

#

Really loving pixiv and Tumblr nowadays

potent basalt
#

I think ratio of follows and followers also factors in quite a bit... like if you follow way more people than you have followers, people might think it's a bot account or something

iron halo
#

It'd make sense for an algorithm to flag that to an extent I guess

#

If an account is made and they immediately follow like a thousand people

#

the boring but surefire way to get more likes is to just get better at art evilDeadge

iron halo
#

Getting better is already a higher priority for me evilSmug

#

But tbh being good at art doesn't guarantee fame immediately

#

There's plenty of artists out there that may not be as "technically good" as others yet are super famous and vice versa

#

That frieren guy is a good example actually

potent basalt
#

I just did some account maintenance... we will see how it affects to algorithm

#

I went through following list

potent basalt
iron halo
#

I think the point was that it's a really difficult angle and the trend was to practice it

potent basalt
#

might be... I just followed along and drew more properly too lol

#

been more conscious about trying different poses for art and trying stuff like close up art... like so close it seems like character is about to break out of screen... also hair... hair is oddly interesting XD

This is over an hour long but there is some insane art knowledge in the vid that I haven’t seen anywhere else on youtube https://youtu.be/4swifTl0_3E?si=CucAQksdgg2OqmTQ

This is a re-recording of a talk I presented at the 2025 editions of NONSTOP Barcelona and Lightbox EXPO. I can highly recommend both events so check em out here~

As you can probably guess, it's been a very busy month! The weird part about recording this at home is I actually had more control;...

I just added it there to remind her she will never be like her cooler sister

placid heart

but ofc they'd only follow me cuz i drew what they want and not because of what i wanna draw

#

it'll still be a gamble

I should draw myself in a cute Santa or Christmas outfit… but not sure what it should look like. neuroThinkSmug

(I say that but I do have a couple ideas in mind)

Evilyn yes

I can't draw outfit :FeelsBadMan:

It'll look so shit, then I will leave it unfinished forever :LULE:

I’ve been trying to come with a plan to make all of the elements more cohesive
I’m almost thinking going kind of mecha but lightweight. (Also expand skin coverage some monkaTOS)

iron halo
#

I fumbled the evil drawing

#

Erased too much and the paper got worn

#

Time to try again

Is there anyone else here who finds traditional like way faster

icy quail
#

I am planning on making a new book soon

iron halo
#

It takes me so damn long on digital for some reason

dreamy jolt
iron halo
#

I wonder why that is

icy quail
#

Mmm because there’s a lot of things involved with digital

iron halo
#

But like I'm a million times more proficient on digital

#

Literally never done traditional until a few days ago

icy quail
#

It’s also “easier”

#

Traditional has a few problems

#

Like no room for error

#

We can’t erase stuff

iron halo
#

I mean you can with pencil to an extent

#

But even so as is exemplified by myself it can only take so much erasing

faint valley
#

Mecha scifi streetwear alien cimpMhm

dreamy jolt
#

well maybe digital just too much all this color, sketch, undo, layer......

iron halo
#

Yeah I was also thinking it's the sheer amount of options on digital

#

Like when I'm inking on traditional I'm almost holding my breath to not fuck up the line

#

But on digital I'm doing and undoing every line about ten times

dreamy jolt
iron halo
#

Lol

#

I bet it's great for learning though

dreamy jolt
#

still enjoy traditional, consider buying a small scanner just to do it

iron halo
#

Maybe I'll be faster on digital too once I get home

iron halo
#

I was thinking I might give the pages out to friends who visit Finland

dreamy jolt
#

when you zoom in

iron halo
#

With some editing you can make phone pics look better

#

Mainly brightness and contrast

#

Then I de-saturate to make my rooms piss color light go away

dreamy jolt
#

it just the cam

iron halo
#

I discovered a high res mode on my phone and it's great for taking art pics

#

But yes phone cams are ass usually

dreamy jolt
#

it not that blurry and it kinda annoying to use too

#

oh your the umamusume guy from yesterday

iron halo
#

That was the day before yesterday at this point i think

#

But I did post something yesterday too

dreamy jolt
#

btw I don't think people gonna notice the blur

iron halo
#

Yea not at all really

#

Really nice neuroHypers

welp I see it I felt it

maybe I should draw depictions of food more...

#

I like to sketch with a really thin mechanical pen and it's cutting the page

#

0.3mm

#

Gotta see about a notebook with more durable paper

#

Maybe a softer lead actually

potent basalt
#

I haven't thouight much about it but yeah... some paper is designed just to handle like those wooden pencil thingies XD

patent quarry
iron halo
#

I have the cheapest one my bookstore had

#

That looks nice though

#

Dunno if I'm down to get a 30€ pen right now tbh

potent basalt
#

some paper is also so think with purpose one can write once and it gets copied on multiple layers... but that's not probably very common nowadays lol

iron halo
#

I'm gonna be broke while I'm in civilian service

#

The twins always look so boneless without the twintails

#

I swear the phone camera debuff applies to drawings too

#

It looks so much better in person vs the pic

#

Just like how you look better in the mirror vs phone pic

coarse vale
#

dreamy jolt
potent basalt
#

yeah it can take some photography to get a good shot of such drawings and... professional cameras are still being developed and sold due phone cameras while quite good nowadays aren't replacement for really professional photography

warm spoke
potent basalt
#

also warm colors and stuff help a lot... kind of framing the drawing at the middle, etc... I have seen some cool shots by people decorating around drawing and taking them from "cinematic angle" XD

patent quarry
iron halo
#

Yes the 30 bucks is the sale price

#

It's still on at the store I was looking at

#

That pen better have like stabilisation or something

An old FPE oc someone made for me

long rune
icy quail
#

What do you mean

long rune
#

Its a screenshot right?

icy quail
#

Yeah

long rune
# icy quail Yeah

The drawing is more important and personal to you then the screenshot, and on another note screenshot are usually not fit for small icons with their resolutions

icy quail
#

Well the artist is dead

long rune
#

Rip

icy quail
#

So this is like limited edition supply

long rune
#

That.. changes things

icy quail
#

A lot of things

long rune
#

Its up to you to respect the art in whatever way you want

#

As for you to pick pfp

icy quail
#

This is edited art btw

#

I made it to Match my colours

long rune
#

Yes i remember

icy quail
#

You do?

#

The other one is white

long rune
#

Heres what you could do, redraw it yourself or have someone redraw it

#

This oc is fairly easy

icy quail
#

It is

icy quail
long rune
#

After few days you will have it done, i believe

icy quail
#

😭

long rune
#

Pick up the mouse and Microsoft paint or pencil and draw

#

Easy as fuck

icy quail
#

I’m too much of writer to changed into a artist

long rune
#

You do have the creative mind tho

#

Use it

icy quail
#

Me.

#

Creative?

long rune
#

Yes, writing is basically coming up with stories, drawing is basically coming up will story in a picture

icy quail
#

Have you seen my “art”?

#

I do have a lot of characters in my mind and the art there is amazing

long rune
#

Haha

icy quail
#

But my writing skills are subpar

icy quail
#

Yeah but I can’t imagine myself writing them

#

The best I did was a galaxy that looked fucking amazing
