I made around 30 projects this year annnd im feeling strangely accomplished like, im in a chilling phase

Kinda feel guilty for not being productive tho

[potent basalt]

sounds like mixed feelings... I think it's good that you are avoiding burnout... taking breaks isn't being lazy blah blah blah XD

[faint valley]

Definitely should draw more before the end of the year
Mostly wanting to just draw Azu in different outfits and forms though

[long rune]

Yes, anyways let me do 4 projects at the end of the year

Jk

I got a ton of ideas for Christmas but i won't be able to make them all

So its just one maybe

[potent basalt]

been drawing evil neuro and sometimes neuro-sama mainly quite a while so it's like... trying to figure out what else to draw that still is liked by twitter algorithm... might draw some gender bend characters because that's kind of fun I suppose XD

[dawn flame]

im..done

[potent basalt]

woah XD

it's so hard to explain but there is this sense to "know" when art "feels" done enough... like one could just keep rendering and stuff... then turn what already looks good another mess to give it different look instead

[potent basalt]

I try to get at least one artwork done per week so... I'm on track for that XD some weeks I do more, it's just that I also like play video games and stuff

gotta draw something christmas themed but I find halloween much easier to get inspired by

[faint valley]

Christmas outfit… something with a lot of fur trim or puffballs at least probably

Also I want to try more situational art but I can never think of anything specific for some reason

[iron halo]

I tried a new pen for inking and it's so much harder

Kinda fumbled I think but I'm gonna finish it

Just a little personality on this one

I will now attempt to draw a cyclops girl. Wish me luck

i was like, that's clord

[potent basalt]

I first thought I fell a sleep or something during that par but she just reviewed art really early... anyway she thought it was about neuro serving poisoned food... sometimes image recognition system struggles with art

[warm spoke]

they seem to be especially confused when it comes to differentiate if it's evil or neuro, idk why though

maybe they are not aware of their model ?

[potent basalt]

it's probably a system that tries to recognize what's on screen, image, etc... then that system provides her a text based description about it...

so yeah, trained system like that requires of course a lot of training data to be more accurate especially detecting art about them that doesn't use their official designs... if vedal is training his own system for image recognition then that's quite expensive lol XD

learning rigging for the first time. want to animate something with neuro in the future. its so fun.

[icy quail]

I envy you artist…always got to draw something so beautiful and unique

I might be able to write good stories. But not a lot of people understand them

But as a writer

We do go hand on hand

We need artists for actual books and stuff after all

[pearl plover]

i mean i can't draw exactly but I get it sort of, people do like their visual media... i think what matters (for me specifically) is the quality, if people can read it and just go, "its good" im happy

[icy quail]

Yeah

Writers provide the stories though

[patent quarry]

you never know tho, i used to be a writer up untill 3 years ago, then i started drawing

look at comic/manga artsts, writer and artist in one

[icy quail]

I have horrible drawing so I could never inflict that upon the world

[potent basalt]

oh... I can relate to this... a few years ago I started to practice to draw better than stick figures and writing took kind of backseat... so I have been giving descriptions for my drawings about them while a few people bother to do that

i dont make money off it or anything, so idk if i can share my manga

Ig u could ask a mod if its possible to share, I don’t see why not

[patent quarry]

yeah i mean people share fanart of other stuff and also writing

dont see why manga specifically be seen as self advertising

[iron halo]

Yea I can't see why you couldn't post that here

You should ask

[elder python]

I read ur manga and it's really great and is pretty relatable
Really like the main character's deformations

[lyric pike]

ty! i don't think i can share it here unfortunately, its too gory

[elder python]

Happens

I liked the gory parts and what they served naratively

If ur manga was on one Russian site where i usually read manga I would have definitely listed it as favorites

[lyric pike]

tyty

tbh i was pretty confident about it

but i lost the kyoto manga contest with it

[elder python]

[lyric pike]

that did a big blow to my soul ngl

[elder python]

Unfortunate

But even like that u still did a really great job
The visuals are great, it's pretty easy to read (for me at least), and the story itself is pretty charming

[lyric pike]

idek if it made it to the editors to be reviewed in the first place

there's a chance it failed out the gate just because its r rated

but on the occasion that it did i loose anyway

[elder python]

I personally never took any contests like that seriously

[lyric pike]

a lesson learn

i seriously gambled on it so hard

that when it failed im so heartbroken

[elder python]

I obviously haven't really faced what u have with this contest
But if I were to fail in some competition like that I wish to know why did I lose
But then I'm thinking about what if I'll disagree with the judges and so that's why I don't care really

[lyric pike]

yea sadly i wasnt provided with any comments on why i failed and what i should improve

[elder python]

Yeah this sucks

[lyric pike]

i really need some good critiques

self critique only go so far

[elder python]

Or it can go too far

Anyways

[lyric pike]

anyway, ty for reading, i really appreciate it

[elder python]

I don't really know what I didn't like about reading ur manga so i can't really give a critique outside of praising

[lyric pike]

oh ur friend with nico 😮

[elder python]

Nico was the one who showed ur manga to me

[lyric pike]

i see

well thank u and thank nico

[elder python]

[fair locust]

I'm getting better with markers, maybe soon I'll be able to draw people with them too

[warm spoke]

what markers do u use ?

[fair locust]

A set of gray markers with 6 shades from very light to basically black, and pens when I need something sharper and fully black

I just bought the cheapest monochrome set I could find at the bookstore and they work great

[dreamy jolt]

if thing go well my cms will open in two or three day thank you guy for answer my question all this time wwww

[warm spoke]

oh, i have exactly the same

[dreamy jolt]

fellow tradition artist wwww

[warm spoke]

do u have any advice ? that looks really great

[fair locust]

I flip flop between traditional and digital depending on how I feel

[dreamy jolt]

I do both I like lineart in tradition and color in digital

[fair locust]

I sketched all major shapes with the lightest gray I had and then just started adding darker tones to places that needed that. I made sure to not touch areas that were in the brightest light because the paper is the whitest I can go. I also tried not to draw details, as you can see all the small trees are just a bunch of pen marks

going from lightest to darkest is good because that reduces the risk of accidentally making an area darker than it's supposed to be

I can't really give advice on how to shade because I don't even know how I got it to look that good

[warm spoke]

oh ok, thx !

I always struggle when it comes to landscapes

[high apex]

bro thats so good

[dreamy jolt]

wwww background is really hard to do for me too

[fair locust]

with complex stuff it's easy to get lost in trying to draw the actual things in the image and end up with something messy and hard to read. It's better to draw the general effect different things have in the image, I don't know how to explain it well

I think getting the general shapes right with light that makes sense will give a better result than trying to get all details right with a pen

if a drawing doesn't look good from a distance, something is wrong

[warm spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-notes-noted-gif-26232003

so i have to try to get the general picture rather than details

[fair locust]

I think it's a good approach, you can always add details too but if you start from the details the drawing can easily become too busy- or messy-feeling

and for example if you draw a forest or a tree, there's no way to actually draw everything in the picture

tens of thousands of leaves and a million blades of grass

[faint valley]

Literally have nothing to do at work so uhhh might as well sketch stuff

[austere beacon]

Very nice. I’m the opposite honestly. It’s much harder for me to make landscapes than people.

[austere beacon]

Same tbh.

[fair locust]

I can draw people with pencils, but a face is a lot harder for me to simplify into something doable with markers than for example a forest. Trees can be whatever and they still look like decent trees, a face not so much

[austere beacon]

For me a face is much more predictable than a landscape. It’s easier for me to break down a face into basic shapes and planes because even if people’s faces are slightly different it’s all roughly the same structures. A landscape just looks like a chaotic mass that overwhelms me.

random trivia... centuries old art depicting horses going fast looks so odd because they had hard time to visualize what it looks like due the motion is so fast... so they depicted horses running like they are almost stomach planting

[winged spire]

Not an artist by any means but I keep seeing so much cool art on instagram and it made me WANT to be one so I impulse-bought a drawing tablet 👍 tips are appreciated, I literally have no clue what i'm doing LOL

[potent basalt]

that's insanely good then XD

[iron halo]

my recommendation would be to just go at it and get a good feel for the tablet first

[winged spire]

thank you so much!!! I literally got my tablet last night and this is the first thing I drew lol

[winged spire]

yeah it's a bit disorienting drawing something on the table while looking up at the screen lol but i'm getting the hang of it I think

[iron halo]

it'll be second nature eventually

just like using a mouse

[patent quarry]

Once you learn the hang of it, it's an indispensable skill

That's really the only learning curve

The benefits of better posture and your hand not blocking your process is soo good

[winged spire]

yes I really love being able to see completely it's super nice

[iron halo]

if you want help from us its better to ask specific questions, teaching is a skill in itself so we might struggle with how to help unless youre asking about something quite specific

also youll probably end up looking up and or seeing tutorials on the internet and i wanna tell you to take those with a big heaping of salt

[winged spire]

ah very true. I probably just need to watch some tutorials, i'm ok at drawing stuff by looking at it but I can't draw anything from imagination (yet). I guess starting with drawing 3d boxes and stuff is probably a good first step?

[iron halo]

so many of them are utterly useless and amount to the "draw the rest of the owl meme"

[patent quarry]

Drawing from complete imagination is a lie 🥀🥀🥀 it's all reference upon reference

I joke

[winged spire]

it doesn't help that the last time I held a pencil/pen for more than 10 minutes was back in highschool 😭 my hand was hurting after drawing that

[patent quarry]

You need muscle training

Which means just drawing anyways

Are you a complete beginner?

[iron halo]

so often i see posts on like twitter where its "how to draw X", and its just their own drawing process with not a bit of actual teaching.

[patent quarry]

Lol

[winged spire]

yep. I mean I used to doodle stuff occasionally when I was a teen, but i'm 30 now and have not drawn a single thing since...

[iron halo]

never too late

[winged spire]

that's my mindset!!

[patent quarry]

You can trace to start with with mindfully questions why the artist did that

Breakdown a piece by drawing simple shapes over them and get a feel

[iron halo]

i think for a complete beginner they gotta take it a few steps back im not gonna lie

like the box exercise

[patent quarry]

A piece of art looks better if the entire thing looks bad and complete rather a single piece is complete and the rest is bad

[iron halo]

or like literally just practicing straight lines

[patent quarry]

Yeah that too

[iron halo]

its harder than you might imagine

[patent quarry]

That's a better idea

[winged spire]

I think another important thing is really learning the software i'm using too, I am using krita (i'm on linux) and outside of like the occasional edit when gimp wouldn't suffice, I haven't touched it at all... half my drawing was fighting with the keybindings and getting stuff to switch lol

[patent quarry]

Ah krita is a learning process in itself

[iron halo]

i neglected the boxes for several years and when i finally got around to doing it

my whole world changed

[winged spire]

I wanna focus on easy stuff like that if possible becausee the neuro drawing took me like... 3 hours

[iron halo]

3 hours is not bad

pretty much all my clip files sit at like 20 hours

[patent quarry]

Yeah especially when you tried to use single shaky lines strokes

[iron halo]

its a time consuming hobby

[winged spire]

the undo button was my friend

[iron halo]

dont feel a need to rush

[patent quarry]

A lot of beginners try to compensate by drawing multiple lines and strokes over each other

[winged spire]

that's mostly why i'm wanting to try to focus on smaller stuff (like boxes) right now as I definitely don't have 3 hours of free time to draw every day 😭

[patent quarry]

The more sketchy feel and have the brain complete the drawing rather than training their hand for a strong stroke

[iron halo]

i think the most important thing youll need though is patience

[patent quarry]

💯

[iron halo]

cuz you will almost certainly feel like youre progressing at a snails pace and feel like quitting

a lot

[winged spire]

this is definitely something i'm struggling with

[iron halo]

and thats exactlty where the patience comes in

youre not gonna develop line confidence in a week or even a month

[winged spire]

yeah I know it's gonna take a long time, i'm making sure I keep myself grounded.

[iron halo]

very good

[winged spire]

plus I don't have my goals set all that high, when I see an artist's "sketch" I think "ok that's my goal, i'm fine with that as the final output" lol

I really love scratchy "unfinished" art so I consider it a win for me

[patent quarry]

There are artists who definitely make that style work

But remember they still have a lot of skills under their belt to do that

[winged spire]

yeah, the issue is making it both sketched AND not a mess lol

I have no delusion of being able to reach that level any time soon. I'm also learning to play the piano so i'm already used to progressing at the speed of a dead slug... lol

[patent quarry]

A friend of mine decided to do that and it took him some time to get that done

[iron halo]

art is kinda deceptive in how difficult simple looking stuff is

[patent quarry]

He still was an artist for 5 years + tho with great line confidence before attempting to change his style

[winged spire]

I don't even know what kind of pens/pencils they use to get that look, i've looked through krita's and couldn't find anything similar...

[iron halo]

can you send some of it

[winged spire]

like art examples? yeah i'd have to go hunting on my instagram

[iron halo]

[winged spire]

I see it a lot with vocaloid artists, for some reason

[patent quarry]

At this stage I wouldn't worry with what kind of brushes/pens artist use, just stick to the basics

[iron halo]

yea i was about to say

[patent quarry]

Idk if krita comes with the basic ones tho

[iron halo]

brushes are pretty hard to use honestly

[patent quarry]

Hard brush, hard brush with opacity

[iron halo]

ought to stick to the hard round

[patent quarry]

Yeah

[winged spire]

yeah that's what I drew neuro with

it does have ones with pressure-sensitivity

but i'm not good at that yet lol

[patent quarry]

You need both imo

Cuz pressure sens can trim your hand

Train

[iron halo]

id maybe put the pressure sensitivity on to get a feel for it

if you dont like it you can turn it off though

[patent quarry]

Besides that's how it is irl and traditional tools

[iron halo]

no need to force it at this stage

[winged spire]

ok found a decent example of the kind of art I mean (I do hope the text doesn't say anything bad, can't read it) artist is Waimoniku

[iron halo]

yea im pretty sure thats just the g pen

which is just a hard round with pressure sensitivity

[winged spire]

ah see I think my issue is the pen I was using with pressure sensitivity didn't change the size when pushed, just the opacity

[patent quarry]

From what I can see there's still skill here, there's more lines in the darker areas/ areas on shadow

[iron halo]

at least when you practice drawing straight lines keep the pressure sensitivity on

and try to control the line thickness as you draw it

[winged spire]

oh yeah definitely, I just meant that a lot of people would have this as a "before the final draft" whereas this is my goal

[winged spire]

i'll definitely try that, my biggest struggle right now is drawing continuous lines

drawing neuro's hair was a nightmare

[iron halo]

speed is very key in getting clean continuous lines

otherwise they turn out wobbly

that or you can crank stabilisation to max

but i personally dont like the look of it

[patent quarry]

I'd vote against that lol

Especially if you like the more messy sketchy look, stabilization can turn against that

Plus it trains your hand

[winged spire]

i've watched a few people draw on streams before and i've noticed when they're drawing long lines they like draw x undo like 50 times to get it "perfect"

[patent quarry]

Undo is big

[iron halo]

sometimes it be like that

[winged spire]

undo is the one single button I have mapped on my tablet so far lol

[patent quarry]

Map flip canvas

Flip vertically?

[winged spire]

I also really struggle with straight horizontal lines as well

[patent quarry]

I forgot the specific one for krita

[winged spire]

it's annoying because naturally when i'm trying to draw something horizontal I wanna rotate the "paper" so I can do it vertically instead but I can't do that unless I rotate the canvas lol

guess I should probably just get better at drawing from all directions

[iron halo]

well rotating the canvas is pretty useful id do that

[winged spire]

I also need to figure out how to manage zooming, having to move to my mouse to zoom in and out was such a massive pain...

[patent quarry]

You can use a game controller

Or splurge and be a whale to get a tour box

[winged spire]

I keep getting advertised that little box thing on instagram that has like a dial and joystick and stuff lol

[patent quarry]

Yeah lol

[iron halo]

i think you can set it up so you can like hold some key and then drag with your pen to zoom

i did that when i still had a screenless tab

[winged spire]

hmm I might do that then, i'd like to not touch my mouse at all when drawing if possible

granted i'm left handed so it's not too inconvenient to do but

[patent quarry]

250 usd

[winged spire]

jesus

[patent quarry]

Yeah thats what I used to do

[iron halo]

oh in that case i'd actually invest in some controller

[winged spire]

I do have a ps4 controller, time to map that I guess lol

[patent quarry]

A game controller is fine

[iron halo]

thats just the priciest one though

[patent quarry]

Yeah lol

[iron halo]

the lite is 70 bucks at the moment

[patent quarry]

The PS4 controller should suffice tho

[iron halo]

yea def throw a go at the ps4 controller first

[winged spire]

i'm very broke so anything cheap would help lol. the tablet I bought by the way is the Huion Inspiroy 2 M

[dreamy jolt]

you can ctrl + enter to search for shortcut if that help

[patent quarry]

If your starting out, use what you have untill you get pissed off a lot it hinders your progress

Youre

Then make some bad financial decisions

[winged spire]

well my issue mainly was the fact that my mouse only sorta worked if I had my pen near the tablet so in order to zoom in/out with the mouse I had to move my pen AWAY from the tablet, then zoom, then put it back down lol

[iron halo]

the rent a girlfriend manga author uses a Wii controller for his binds

[winged spire]

insane

[iron halo]

so you can make it work without splurging a ton

i personally use a razer tartarus

its one of those mini gaming keyboards

[wind pelican]

Oof I looked at those digital drawing controller things once, doesn't seem worth unless you're deep into professional level work.

[winged spire]

one could say buying a tablet in the first place was a bad financial decision when I own a pencil and paper... lol but undo is so nice to have, I hate erasing

[dreamy jolt]

use ur keyboard like ctrl + space to rotate and ctrl + shift to zoom

[patent quarry]

Depends, what tablet did you buy

[iron halo]

i skipped traditional and dove straight into digital too if it makes you feel any better

[winged spire]

.

[wind pelican]

I like keyboard shortcuts, I just mapped mine to wasd and around that because I'm already so used to using everything there for games.

[patent quarry]

It's very much worth if you have the money to spare

[dreamy jolt]

been using keyboard for the longest time and it still fine

[winged spire]

it was only like 70 total so i'm happy with it

[patent quarry]

I started out with an OSU tablet that was like 20 bucks

[faint valley]

I wonder if a tourbox would work well with an iPad (if at all…)

[winged spire]

I mainly just cared about getting a tablet that worked well on linux (kinda failed on this part cuz the scroll wheel doesn't work but oh well...)

[patent quarry]

Depends on which one you buy

[winged spire]

i'll have to watch how much I draw though because I have some wrist problems and i'd have to aggravate it by drawing too much

[patent quarry]

Learn to use your shoulder

[iron halo]

draw with your feet

[winged spire]

noted, will focus on that

[patent quarry]

Which one????

[winged spire]

oh draw WITH your feet...

[wind pelican]

To each their own, I've never tried one. I'm relatively comfortable with keyboard on the side so it's not for me.

Comes to it, the best option is whatever feels most natural and you don't have to get distracted thinking about when working.

[winged spire]

also another issue is I need to get a glove or something cuz my hand is a bit too grippy for the tablet sometimes

I resorted to putting receipt paper under my hand while I drew neuro lmao

worked well enough

[patent quarry]

My personal thing is that it's worth if you use it more than you paid for it in hours, which I definitely have

[patent quarry]

Glove is much needed but you can make do with a sock

[iron halo]

you could cut up a like a mitten to make a budget drawing glove

[winged spire]

ah didn't think of that

[frigid wyvern]

Finished the other one

[iron halo]

like take one of these and chop off all but the pinky and ring fingers

[patent quarry]

True

[wind pelican]

Ahhh, memories. That is exactly what my first drawing glove was, worked out alright, bit warm tho.

[winged spire]

sadly I own no mittens, I think a drawing glove is actually about the same price as a pair of mittens lol

[iron halo]

i only got the separate keyboard because i hated using my drawing monitors side buttons

[patent quarry]

Sock

[winged spire]

gotta find a spare sock that I don't mind ruining first 😭

[patent quarry]

Check your dryer's insides

[winged spire]

at this point i'd rather slap down like 8 bucks on a glove lmao

[dreamy jolt]

Lube ur tablet is also a way to do wwww

[winged spire]

TRUE

[iron halo]

im sure you have like one pair of socks where the other one is somwhere in the backrooms

[winged spire]

if only

all my socks are in pairs, no danglers to speak of

[iron halo]

industrial grease on my drawing monitor

[dreamy jolt]

that crazy

[patent quarry]

I personally use peanut butter

It buffs out the scratches in the middle

[iron halo]

imagine oiling up everytime you wanna draw

[winged spire]

anyways I will continue practicing, i'll switch to a pressure-sensitive pen on krita when I eventually find one and will draw epic 3d boxes

[dreamy jolt]

No gloves is okey just get used to it www

[winged spire]

no gloves was RUINING my lines

until the receipt strat

[patent quarry]

I have callused that part of my hand so it glides easily

[winged spire]

well it was mainly from my hand getting slightly sweaty

[patent quarry]

Is it setup posting time?

[winged spire]

otherwise it was fine

[iron halo]

[dreamy jolt]

probably because you are not used to the digital drawing, it alway fell to smoth when I first switch to it

[faint valley]

I got a Dokiglove, can’t draw on any tablets without it now lol

[winged spire]

I actually really enjoyed the smoothness, it was when my hand was catching that I was struggling lol

[iron halo]

my hand kinda drags on it too and i found that annoying

glove solves that

btw remember to wash your gloves

[winged spire]

are you telling me the stank won't give me extra drawing powers?

[patent quarry]

I used whatever my drawing tablet came with or something

Or some cheap one from Amazon

[dreamy jolt]

smooth hand supremacy www

[iron halo]

trust me youll see why when you do

[winged spire]

this is what i'm doing right now

[patent quarry]

Youre supposed to wash them 💀

[iron halo]

mine always lets out some yellow dirty water

[winged spire]

key word "supposed to"

[iron halo]

you dont gotta like wash them after every use

just on the occasion

just some water in the sink and let it dry works in my experience

[patent quarry]

My man hands to rough

[winged spire]

frankly all these issues is still 100x better than having lead smeared on the side of my hand

[patent quarry]

I should draw soemthign, shitty or else my skills will actually be lost 😭

Art block is rough

[faint valley]

Same

[dreamy jolt]

My tablet is so fuck I'm not even care anymore www

[dreamy jolt]

Just have something to default to www

[iron halo]

im a carpenter my hands get fucked up this trade

[faint valley]

Need like
A cute outfit to put my vtuber in

[patent quarry]

Oh I can't compare to that, nvm about me

[winged spire]

when I was younger I just enjoyed drawing random objects around my house

[patent quarry]

It's my mental thing tho

[winged spire]

somewhere deep in my old stuff is the world's most detailed drawing of a honey mustard bottle

[patent quarry]

I don't want something too easy or too difficult

[patent quarry]

I can see where you like to draw

[iron halo]

i gotta draw too but ive really been too tired

theres a horse racing club near me that i attend on wednesdays

we get to like take care of the horses but its pretty physical

[patent quarry]

Started a new job and my schedule has been busy and have me pooped

[dreamy jolt]

it like fully cover the midle part so wwwwww

Playing Minecraft has been saving grace

[iron halo]

i started my civilian service this week too

i actually like my service place though

its the trade school i went to and i really like that place

[winged spire]

glove purchased 🙏 anyways, thank you all for the help!

[iron halo]

[dreamy jolt]

been try to drop out lately I realize I dont really enjoy studied at collage after 3 year....

[winged spire]

college stinks but i'm going because I know if I don't then i'm at a disadvantage

[patent quarry]

Depends on the major

[winged spire]

comp sci 😔

or well software engineering technically

[patent quarry]

Dang 30 at college, respect

[winged spire]

yep dropped out when I went right after highschool, decided I had to go back - if not now then when? lol

[patent quarry]

More respect

[dreamy jolt]

well fellow cs drop out

[patent quarry]

Had a few older classmates, good peeps

[winged spire]

plus unless you got connections it's really hard right now so I figure a degree will at least help me a bit

[patent quarry]

Usually degree plus successful personal projects help

[winged spire]

so I suffer through stupid courses I couldn't care less about while I juggle learning multiple hobbies that take 10+ years to perfect

[dreamy jolt]

it drive kinda drive me mad lately like I just want to draw in peace wwww

[winged spire]

very understandable. I put off one of my classes for an entire month because I couldn't will myself to open my stupid school portal lol

[patent quarry]

I need to be time limited and deadlined or else I won't be able to draw at all

[dreamy jolt]

trueeeee

[winged spire]

I struggle with drawing too though, if I don't force myself to sit down and just DRAW then it's never happening

it's so easy to just go "wow I spent hours on this and it is pretty mid, time to go do something i'm already good at" LOL

not that drawing is unique at all in this regard

[dreamy jolt]

I'll become depress if I dont draw for a long time

[winged spire]

very understandable

although i've never spent much time drawing so it was never a big draw for me. Then again I really struggle with doing things that take a long time to get good at

[dreamy jolt]

I do have a good spawn point lol, so maybe doing cms for a living is viable

[patent quarry]

Spawn point lmao

[winged spire]

trigger word for vedal, filian, and crelly

also what program/s does everyone here use for drawing?

[patent quarry]

clip studio paint

[dreamy jolt]

krita

[winged spire]

wow it has built in 3d figures?? that's neat

[patent quarry]

its eh

i persoanlyl use it alot for a quick visual tho

[iron halo]

Clip studio paint since forever myself

[patent quarry]

csp has helped my personal work flow a lot

but ive used photoshop, krita, ibis, medibang, and other stuff

[iron halo]

I tend to use csp for image editing too

I prefer it over Photoshop heavily

[patent quarry]

the files are lightweight compared to photoshop

[winged spire]

I have a friend that always used painttool sai and I don't know what her reasoning was

[patent quarry]

some people on here use that for main program

idk too much about it

[iron halo]

Is it free?

[warm spoke]

krita

[winged spire]

no

[iron halo]

Likely just used to it then

[winged spire]

nice to see fellow.... kritters?

[warm spoke]

i guess ?

[winged spire]

the only benefit I can see is 1st-class japanese lang support? but she's american so... lol

[iron halo]

Swapping a program is probably super hard even if the other is better

[winged spire]

very true

hope krita is good enough for my use case

mainly because there aren't much other options for linux lmao

[warm spoke]

it's a really good alternative imo

[dreamy jolt]

my first is medibang but I switch to krita when I do digital more www

[iron halo]

I mean all you really need is the hard round pen and the airbrush

Skill can make up for the rest

[winged spire]

surely krita also has support for extra brushes so

i'm sure I could find some, the joys of open-source software

[iron halo]

Make your own art program

[winged spire]

SURELY I can vibecode a program to match krita, nothing will go wrong

[iron halo]

Vibe coding has never gone right in my experience

I do it a lot

[winged spire]

it's fine for smaller programs but no way in hell are you gonna make something as comprehensive as krita with only it haha

[iron halo]

I made a points system for my bot that didn't have any checks for negative numbers

Someone put me 300 million in debt

[winged spire]

beautiful

[iron halo]

I should make a banking app

[winged spire]

to be fair even without vibecoding it's easy to make mistakes like that if you don't have tests

[iron halo]

Yeah I bet I woulda done it without chatgpt too

Natural stupidity

[winged spire]

gets the best of us... anyways back to art, time to doodle some boxes

[iron halo]

[dreamy jolt]

fell like art is really hard in the coming up with idea part often take really long

[iron halo]

Felt

Not uncommon for me to spend a good few hours just sitting there trying to come up with something

[winged spire]

if I can imagine something in my brain and then proceed to draw it, I will finally be able to consider myself at the level I want to be at

[iron halo]

That's a long road right there

Best of luck to you

[winged spire]

I am going to try so hard to not give up, I need to display my tablet somewhere in my room so I start feeling guilty if I don't use it...

[warm spoke]

you can add extra brushes yes

[dreamy jolt]

felt like you dont need that much brush like I just need the pencil and the round brush and the dry roller to color

[potent basalt]

me trying hard to learn how to replicate stuff some use fancy brushes to achieve XD it's quite fun to observe and then mentally figure out how to achieve something similar ^^

[winged spire]

another question, anyone have any recommended resolutions/canvas size they use for drawing? I was having issues with my drawing getting a bit too pixely when zooming in (which can obviously be fixed by making a bigger canvas and using bigger brush sizes) but I wanted other peoples personal usecases

[patent quarry]

mines like up in the 3000 to 5000

how beefy ur computer is also affects it i think

[dreamy jolt]

pesonally I use 5625x4500 but anything more than 2000 is enough

[winged spire]

I think I probably just drew too small as well... my canvas was 1440p size but my actual drawing was small in the middle lol I don't know why I did that...

at one point I was drawing with a 1px width pen

terrible

[patent quarry]

not ideal lol

my lines are usually 7 to 12

[winged spire]

I will remember this for later

[dreamy jolt]

learn to zoom out man www

[patent quarry]

yeah lol you have the whole canvas to work with

make sure you have a window that shows your entire drawing

common mistake is too zoomed in

and the entire piece is unbalanced

[dreamy jolt]

justy resize your sketch to fit the canvas www

[winged spire]

the issue is I was just drawing neuro based on her size in the stream I was watching, I was drawing a bit smaller at first because it was helping me gauge how big I needed to make things but by the time i'd realized that I was zoomed in too much it was too late lol

[patent quarry]

then you gotta deal with anti aliasing and imperfect scaling lol

[dreamy jolt]

it a sketch so no problem

[winged spire]

my raw drawing looks pretty messy up close lol my screenshot is zoomed out pretty far so my mistakes are less visible 👌

[patent quarry]

oh you mean sketch lol

[dreamy jolt]

and use high dpi like 300 or more

[winged spire]

i'll just have to remember to not zoom in next time, I genuinely don't know why I was thinking "oh my pen is tiny, time to zoom in!" instead of "make the pen size bigger" lmao

[patent quarry]

we believe in you

ur neuro drawing is tons better than my first one when i started lol

[winged spire]

drawing things by looking at them is my biggest strength, and well only strength lol

was doodling around drawing something before I started working on neuro and it looked like a 6 year old's kindergarten project...

I can look at things or draw stick figures, no in between

how do artists do art studies im so lost

[mint root]

depends on what you're studying

[plain dagger]

Essentially its just a bunch of experimental sketches to either practice specific things or play around with your style or other styles

So you really could consider a bunch of random doodles a “study”, as long as it benefits your art skill

[light pilot]

figured it out

My flesh can't fulfill the mechanisms of my inner mind

your flesh is a prison that contains your potential, break free from the chains that bind you. ascend and fulfill whatever your mind so desires

or you can use a 3d model you can move around for reference

[patent quarry]

That's what I've been doing so far but I've been wanting more realistic stuff

The 3d models in csp isn't cutting it for me

then do what i do, use yourself as model, it's why i draw myself a lot than any other characters

Lulll

[dreamy jolt]

But I'm being for real though

[urban summit]

Feliz Navidad 🤶

[dreamy jolt]

Feliz Navidad!

the holiday laziness kick in don't know if I can do the rendering www

[patent quarry]

I know you are and that makes it worse 😭

[dreamy jolt]

it just a habit since I do a lot of tradition art ^^

[patent quarry]

I'm just a digital poser 🥀

[urban summit]

mood

[urban summit]

You are like clean with it. It shows that you've been doing this for a long time non-stop.

[dreamy jolt]

been doing this 8 year man

[urban summit]

Wow... impressive, m8

[dreamy jolt]

it really hard to get better when you this deep , try to improve my render something

[patent quarry]

I am only now drawing bc I have a full time job now, not when I had like 6 months of free time

[patent quarry]

Have you tried rendering using only one tool

[dreamy jolt]

my wish is that I can draw all day and try to make it become real www

[urban summit]

hmm, that would be really to break your comfortable zone. I feel ya.

[dreamy jolt]

I usually using dry roller and maybe air brush and my trusty pencil www

[patent quarry]

Just use a 0.3 mechanical pencil for everything

[dreamy jolt]

lul that like hell

[urban summit]

Mine is pretty much opposite. I have part-time shift (somewhat) and college, so most of time I just go to my room to rest and never really do anything else.

[patent quarry]

My creative juices don't flow unless I got deadlines unfortunately

[dreamy jolt]

you can tell I'm a line art guy so render is so hard to do

[urban summit]

Makes sense .

I don't think I can draw more and coherently as much as I was before. I'm extremely rusted right now; And my focus kinda went all over the place.

[dreamy jolt]

how you find time to do anything, felt like collage eat all my time so I'm tryna drop out and I don't really like my major

[patent quarry]

Not to scare ya but having a job entails the same thing, so you really gotta schedule it

[patent quarry]

A friend also mentioned that since I've improved as time goes by, the time I need to sink into a piece is more than the shitty pieces I used to do

[dreamy jolt]

but school really suck up more time like you can go to work and go home but collage there homework assignment and many more random thing

[patent quarry]

True at times yeah

But the physicality of it too, after long lectures and homework, I could still have the energy to draw and play games

[dreamy jolt]

yeah and it drive me crazy ngl

[patent quarry]

After work I'm pooped

Ofc depends on job too

[dreamy jolt]

yeah so i'm try find a way to do art as a job maybe I should make a portfolio and apply for some job if this cms thing not work out www

[urban summit]

Obviously cuz you developed skills to spot the mistake and make your works looks closer to your ideal outcomes.

[potent basalt]

my art got comment with "you're welcome" instead "your welcome"... it truly is christmas season XD

[patent quarry]

After an hours work... Right 😭

[urban summit]

Need for money and determination. Since I can't really change to another major again.

[potent basalt]

you can do it!

[dreamy jolt]

felt really frustrated every time I go to school, felt like life is so meaningless doing it

[urban summit]

How rusted are you?

[patent quarry]

5.3/10

[dreamy jolt]

that rough ^^

[patent quarry]

See earlier reze

[patent quarry]

🥀

[oblique badge]

You can consider yourself successful if you manage to earn on comms as much money as McDonalds employee (and somehow dodge artblocks and burnouts) 🥀

[patent quarry]

Creative jobs are time consuming and need a source of income, either through built platform business or through jobs

Usually higher level jobs give you the time and money for someone to pursue something else

[urban summit]

It does matter, even if you hated it.
Study to get a degree to get a stable job, art com is more of a side-job, so it's pretty unstable if that's your only way of gaining income.

[patent quarry]

Delayed gratification is a skill

Investing in time and future

[dreamy jolt]

yeah you guy are right ill try to become a graduated student ^^

[urban summit]

God speed.

[patent quarry]

By no means focusing on education would mean dropping art, you kind have to focus on them both

Rn is the best time to do the portfolio thing you talked about

Setup now and work on it while in college

[dreamy jolt]

I don't think I can man wwwww

I just lost the passion for the subject I learn a long time ago

[patent quarry]

In the US it's common for people to switch majors around to figure stuff out, it's what college is for, idk if you are in US so idk if it applies to you

It's not common in other places I've been told

[iron halo]

rgrk

[dreamy jolt]

not in the us so....

[iron halo]

https://x.com/karasu_100/status/2000056160830046425 super clean art i saw today and perfect for the joke

[urban summit]

In Thailand, it's common for first year to change their major if they found that past major is not for them.

[urban summit]

Good god, what the hell????

[patent quarry]

My Japanese friend asked " you can do that??" When I told him about college here

[dreamy jolt]

learn that out too late like I can do it but not enjoy it wwww

[urban summit]

If that's the case, you really have to endure it.

[patent quarry]

Idk the full story so eh

What's the major in question?

[dreamy jolt]

yeah I'm cook

[dreamy jolt]

cs something

[patent quarry]

Computer science?

[dreamy jolt]

close to it

[patent quarry]

Isn't that a field with a lot of options?

[dreamy jolt]

yeah it killing me though

[patent quarry]

Wdym

[dreamy jolt]

I forgot a word

[brazen belfry]

is it like cs electrical engineering

[dreamy jolt]

what?

[brazen belfry]

ur major

[dreamy jolt]

i don't understand the question man

[urban summit]

[dreamy jolt]

[urban summit]

What major (like Architect, Liberal Art, Art, etc.) did you choose?

[patent quarry]

Underwater basket weaving

Guaranteed 7 figure job

[urban summit]

I think that exists in extreme sport category somewhere.

[dreamy jolt]

If I not wrong it computer science?

[dreamy jolt]

wwww?

[urban summit]

There ya go.

[dreamy jolt]

I don't think I can keep my mental healthy juggling between school and art, the school work is really hard ngl

[urban summit]

You can, really. Set your own time schedule.

hang on, gotta find the video.

[dreamy jolt]

I really try for almost three year and I don't think it working ^^

[urban summit]

Oh... well then.

[dreamy jolt]

I have this month to figure thing out so

[patent quarry]

What do you need to graduate?

[dreamy jolt]

2 more year of study

used to do two job related to this major and it really boring should have drop out at that point

[patent quarry]

You can't switch majors where you are?

They told me in my field at least to stay in it and try to find something along with it

[dreamy jolt]

I don't think so it different here

[patent quarry]

I wouldn't need to quit

That sucks

[dreamy jolt]

well I don't think ill work in this major even if I graduated so it quite bad

[patent quarry]

What's ur plan for a a stable income?

[dreamy jolt]

well I can apply for some pc store or something coding related if I graduated

if I drop out like I can be a kombini worker or grab driver or some random job

[urban summit]

oh dear, think fast about your future job as early as possible.

[dreamy jolt]

not really been thinking for long ass time wwww

[patent quarry]

Think now best

[dreamy jolt]

like I dont really have to pay rent and stuff so I dont really need that much money

[patent quarry]

Imo dropping out doesn't seem to be good outcome

Maybe so but better to have money when you don't need it

Rather than not have it when you need it

[dreamy jolt]

I dont think I need money that much like life here is cheap and I dont plan to have a girlfriend or even make a family any time soon so the ungrad is still score enough money

[urban summit]

No, no, no, no. That kind of thinking is not good m8 :(

[patent quarry]

I think this is one of the situations where people say don't settle for less

You can plan all you want but life has their own plans

For example Covid

[dreamy jolt]

Well that just something you can control so like how much money is enough right

[patent quarry]

??

[dreamy jolt]

Like you can not prepared for everything

[patent quarry]

Doesn't mean you prepare less

[urban summit]

Covid effected lifes, economy, travel, house pricing, inflation, deflation, unbalanced supply, demand, human resorts, politics, and more.

It's complex.

[patent quarry]

It is, but one examples of many of life throwing something unexpected

Even if people had plans for their lives
