also I found this https://download.gaomon.net/question/run_on_linux.html

[trail tendon]

that was the first thing we tried

[trail tendon]

and that too, but maybe I'm too incompetent

[wooden fractal]

should i keep the turtle burning or should i put a harpoon in the turtle (WIP NASCAR)

[potent basalt]

why not both? XD

[wooden fractal]

OHHHHH SMART

This feels...evil

[slender oasis]

if those two things didn't work, what's got you stuck?

[trail tendon]

According to my sibling, there are various things that don't work as they should, and unfortunately I myself have no idea about graphics tablets, plus I'm only just learning Linux bit by bit.

Personally, I would prefer it if my sibling had someone who is an artist themselves, draws on Linux, and could help.

The last thing we tried is this Driver https://download.gaomon.net/plus/list.php?cateId=17&type=Driver&system=linux&Keyword=&tid=9#pcb but I do lack some experience in this area.

[slender oasis]

let's move to dms so we don't clutter up this channel

[austere beacon]

It’s already a pretty inactive channel though..

[slender oasis]

it's a channel for discussing art though, not a tech support channel lol

[icy quail]

Abstract art

[slender oasis]

da ba dee

[wooden fractal]

still a WIP but what do you guys think?

[willow barn]

is it gonna be a halo mod because the blurred tyres is so 2001 coded

[icy quail]

Ohhh I love cars

[willow barn]

your work is amazing tbh just a 1977 Chevy would've looked better

[icy quail]

Nah a corvette is better

[willow barn]

that's too clown shoe lmao (1977 era one)

maybe a mod for trackmania?

[wooden fractal]

its a mod for NR2003

[willow barn]

like i wanna see neuro skrrrt this thing

[icy quail]

Probably gonna commit so many crimes

[wooden fractal]

ill prolly make a neuro only one after this lol

[willow barn]

if modding halo didn't make me wanna put a 50cal trough my mind i'd love to do the same to a warthog

[exotic python]

I definitely should be sleeping, but at least Neuro is coming to life.(kinda)

[craggy furnace]

very pretty colours and shapes ^_^

[wide river]

I got burned out since I couldn't take what was happening with my life recently. I had to let off some steam with this. I'm very sorry if my situation eventually worries you.

[fair locust]

I'm trying to figure out how 3 point perspective actually works, direct projection from 3D shape onto 2D plane through a point seems to mostly work but there's some issues such as this situation where the lines don't converge to vanishing points if the shape is aligned to the axis. In 3 point perspective the distances to the points of the 3D object matter so the sides of an object aligned to all axes but above the view plane would converge. Does anyone know the actual math behind 3 point perspective that avoids this issue?

based on what I read online 3 point perspective projection only occurs when no axis of the object is parallel to the projection plane, which I found out from the situation above, but that's not how artists use 3 point perspective. So either artists use a mathematically flawed method or it's based on a different projection

[dreamy basalt]

typa shit i draw in class: a spectrum

everyone needs to appreciate the second image it's actually peak

[fair locust]

the one character being called Tarina (finnish word for story) made me realize that Marina, a common name in Finland, also is a finnish word and it translates to the act of whining. I never noticed that before and I don't know what to do with this information

[dreamy basalt]

what an analysis of a blob with an anime face bravo bravo

[regal ivy]

colors nearing completion finally! cropped preview

[patent quarry]

Artists don't meticulously map stuff out for that, that's a waste of time and effort, we just get by with rough estimates

[oblique badge]

we ball

[fair locust]

it's never a waste of time to figure out how something works

[patent quarry]

I didn't say that was a waste of time

[fair locust]

in order to figure that out I ended up learning about homogenous coordinates and their use iin computer graphics

[patent quarry]

I'm saying trying to meticulously measure out everything while making an art piece is

Unless it's needed of course

[fair locust]

oh yeah I agree with that, but understanding the theory behind things always helps

[patent quarry]

But not to that extent

To a point

It plateaus

You could say the same about anatomy

[fair locust]

I'd say that depends on what you use the anatomy understanding for. For drawing humans, especially from reference, you don't need much. But for creating believable creatures and drawing all kinds of characters from imagination anatomy knowledge is much more useful

[patent quarry]

I was looking at these, why is point M,O,N,P not converging to the vanishing point

[potent basalt]

there are some artists that do treat character art like they're architects of some building and it does look fancy but also so clinical

[patent quarry]

You won't get much use of studying what cardiac tamponade is when you're trying to make such things, that's where that's useless

[fair locust]

perspective is turned off, I didn't want another layer of projection when I was already experimenting with projecting 3D shapes onto a plane

[patent quarry]

What are you looking for exactly

[fair locust]

it started as trying to figure out how to draw ellipses but turned to a deep dive into the math behind 3 point perspective when I noticed that it doesn't work quite the way people usually use it

ot at least not exactly the way I thought it did

3 point perspective only shows how far things are from the projection plane relative to each other and the camera. That means that the lines only converge if they go further away from the plane. This is why it feels like things get distorted far away from the center of the image. Due to how the math works, 3 point perspective will look perfect if and only if the viewer is exactly at the view point the image is drawn for

In order for the image to look perfect from a different distance, a layer of distortion needs to be added on top of the 3 point perspective to make the lines converge at the correct rate as they get further away from the center. I haven't looked into things enough yet to know how exactly that works but for every combination of viewing distance and 3 point perspective intended distance there should be a perfect distortion

[jaunty quiver]

Me who do stuff on 3d software

I havent done 3pp drawing for a while now~ last time ive done it is for my drafting class

I still have nightmare about 3pp elipses

[potent basalt]

for me it's like... whatever method people like to use it's up to them XD I saw someone showing how they do art like it's blueprint... bunch of visualized diagrams simply to make a head... looked like super sleek robot head but just to plan pixel perfect measurements

[jaunty quiver]

Kinda intimidating seeing overly technical detailing for a tutorial, ngl

[warm spoke]

first time retopologizing

[jaunty quiver]

thats a lotta edge loops

also theres a couple of ngons right there~ you wouldnt want them in, I assume a rigged character

[warm spoke]

i gotta admit i don't really know how to do retopology 😭

what is a ngnon ?

[frosty tree]

This is awesome!!! YOOOO

[wooden fractal]

what do you guys think

[slender oasis]

she probably passes the butter

[wide river]

did i do undertaker justice?

[fallow summit]

how the heck do i make the hair fade into black with a gradient in pixel art

[oblique badge]

look up info about dithering

[fallow summit]

is that gonna be painful

[potent basalt]

isn't that how best art is made? XD just joking but yeah... what is doing art if sometimes it doesn't feel like a drag

[exotic python]

depending on what you're going for and you art style, sometimes simple shading can work better

[fallow summit]

i don't think red to black would work like that unfortunately

[exotic python]

I see what you mean, maybe using midtones instead of two colors only. but definitely give everything a try and see what you like more

I've tried open Aseprite and test but It's been probably more than an year since the last time I opened it, I can't remember a thing

[jaunty quiver]

ngon is a face/polygon with more than 4 vertexes, its really bad for rigged characters since they produce weird inconsistent distortion on the model

A tri or quad is more ideal

Thts not a bad retopo work at all

[nova gate]

darken the color and paint in chunks

keep darkening as you go down until it's black

[wide river]

Ramona Flowers?

[warm spoke]

oh okay, thx !

by any chance, do you know how i can bake my normals ? every time I try it doesn't work..

[jaunty quiver]

object normal?

[jaunty quiver]

Its render properties tab~ you need to switch to cycles render first

object normals need 2 object: 1 highpoly & 1 lowpoly, tangent doesnt need it

I honestly don't use the blender built in one, since its hard to work with~ I just use an addon for it

[warm spoke]

ohhh okay

i'll search one maybe

thx !

[jaunty quiver]

Textools is the name of the addon, if you are interested

[warm spoke]

i'm downloading it

[jaunty quiver]

its free~ so theres nothing to lose trying it

[worthy sluice]

hi aa

[warm spoke]

it doesn't seem to work well, so i went with another addon, Mio3

[jaunty quiver]

Like straight up not installing? or... something else

I also use mio3, theres no baking feature there no?

[warm spoke]

ah no no, i installed it

[warm spoke]

i think i'll use TexTools for the baking part, but the UV tools didn't work

[jaunty quiver]

Same I don't use textool's UV mapping stuff

UniV or Mio3 does better job with it

[dreamy basalt]

Not really a drawing but a backdrop painted by my friend

It’s folded in half so we can carry it to the stage

[warm spoke]

i think it's the first time i went past using Smart UV project too

[jaunty quiver]

Thought so xDD~ Curved meshes & Smart UV project is a bad combination

[warm spoke]

[jaunty quiver]

Goodluck adding seams tho~ its hella tedious

[warm spoke]

i suppose i gotta search it up first

[jaunty quiver]

Its easy but tedious

Finally done with my new toon shading

[warm spoke]

ohh, does it look good ?

[jaunty quiver]

Why is all youtube tutorials teaching me to use color ramp for toon shading, it all sucks since it doesn't react to colored lights

[jaunty quiver]

Here's a test, colored lights + toon shading

[warm spoke]

it's really good

[jaunty quiver]

have to figure out how to fix this tho

mmm node spaghetti

[warm spoke]

[warm spoke]

it's not looking so bad no ?

[jaunty quiver]

looks good

[warm spoke]

thx for all the help

[void bobcat]

FURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!

drawing on a laptop is hard yo

[jaunty quiver]

just curious what blender version are you using?

I'm trying to transition from 3.6 to 5~ but v5 seems to crash too much for me

[warm spoke]

5.0 !

[warm spoke]

humm, weird

it works pretty well for me

[jaunty quiver]

Just adjusting this curve, theres a chance that it'll just crash

Happened 4 times now

I lost like 15 minute tweaking earlier cause I forgot to save

[warm spoke]

😭

i think there are still bugs yeah

like, the cage thing doesn't work when baking

5.0 might be a bit unstable

[jaunty quiver]

welp~ its not like I need the new features of 5.0

its mostly just geometry nodes, a part of blender I cannot comprehend

[warm spoke]

if you were using 3.6 before, a lot has been added since then ,though

[jaunty quiver]

I'm very well aware

Major ones like New Eevee renderer, new bone/skeleton layer system

[warm spoke]

[jaunty quiver]

Its so different, and laggy compared to 3.6's

[warm spoke]

eevee 2.0 is very useful

[jaunty quiver]

I'm struggling, my materials still works, but its off

[warm spoke]

[jaunty quiver]

Of all the features added, I only want the new skeleton layering

[warm spoke]

i don't even know how it used to be

[jaunty quiver]

This is how it used to, you have a small limit on how much layers you can add

in 4.0 up, you can pretty much add as much as you want

[warm spoke]

How long have you been using blender ? I'm curious=

[jaunty quiver]

8 years and still bad at it

I've started with version 2.76~ Oh how different it is to current blender

I still use 2.76/2.78 for porting models into goldsrc/source engine games

[warm spoke]

you're my senior by 4 years

[jaunty quiver]

[mint badge]

5.0?

[jaunty quiver]

Yep

[mint badge]

view crash log

[jaunty quiver]

where can I see it?

I'm already done with the float curve thing so~ I don't really care that much anymore

[mint badge]

there should be a dialogue pop-up shown when the crash occurs

[jaunty quiver]

I see, let me see if I can replicate the crash again

[mint badge]

smth like this

[jaunty quiver]

Yeah yeah, like that

[mint badge]

[jaunty quiver]

tho I reckon it might be something to do with my blendfile

it originated from version 3.6

[mint badge]

[jaunty quiver]

I just slapped it to 5.0.1

[mint badge]

that's a 2 major version across migration

probably yea

5.0 has dropped a lot of backward compatibilities

[jaunty quiver]

[mint badge]

most of my 4.x projects(on shaders) doesn't work in 5.x

[jaunty quiver]

I'm not liking 4.0 - 5.0 so far

[jaunty quiver]

Lucky me~ mine is just a simple toon shading, so it still works

[mint badge]

[mint badge]

~~If you have any feedbacks avaliable for the Blender project, hit us on https://blenderartists.org/ ~~

[jaunty quiver]

[jaunty quiver]

I just want the new skeleton layer thing

my main complaint is performance, idk why it stutters/hangs so much, randomly

[mint badge]

have you switched to the Vulkan backend?

[jaunty quiver]

vulkan doesnt have the subprocess shade compilation tho

or it doesnt need it?

[tulip hamlet]

Flattest Neuro I’ve ever drawn

[jaunty quiver]

Let me check if its better

[mint badge]

you don't really need it

tho you use EEVEE

should be fine tho

[jaunty quiver]

Looking good so far, it still micro stutters once the material is loaded, but I can live with that

[mint badge]

that's just the shader being compiled, EEVEE/Workbench(Material Preview) stuff, not blender

[jaunty quiver]

it rarely ever happens with 3.6 tho, but ig eevee 1 is just more lightweight

[tulip hamlet]

Evil’s harpoon gun

[mint badge]

are you lagging in Material Preview or the Render tab

[jaunty quiver]

render viewport

[mint badge]

yea it's EEVEE's fault

[jaunty quiver]

its very random

I just checked cycles,

Why is it so fast now

[mint badge]

cuz cycles doesn't need to compile shaders

I've used Cycles from the start to now

you can also do toon shaders in Cycles since there are NPR supports now

[jaunty quiver]

Really? in this version?

[mint badge]

I believe so

they added a lot of shader and compositer stuff

[jaunty quiver]

oh its only for composting?

I don't see a good documentation about it

[mint badge]

no no no

it's shader

https://code.blender.org/2025/05/npr-project/

this

[jaunty quiver]

I wasn't looking

oh I only noticed it now cause its only available for cycles

[mint badge]

nvm it hasn't finish

it has "passed the initial stage"

[jaunty quiver]

They really ditched the old prototype NPR, I liked it

[mint badge]

the NPR prototype was alright tho, I think I had done something cool with it

[jaunty quiver]

the old one?

[mint badge]

ahh yes

[jaunty quiver]

ohhh

sadly that one is gone

[mint badge]

they added Repeat zones in shader nodes, that's a success to me

outline and stuff was easy to make with the old prototype

[jaunty quiver]

and this new one, unfortunately doesn't work with eevee, I don't want my PC sounding like a v8 whenever it render

[mint badge]

it's really not user-friendly if you don't know much about NPRs(the technical side), so I guess it's reasonable to separate the development process and improve it

[jaunty quiver]

idk how it works~ is it like an automation thing? like same shading for multiple materials?

[mint badge]

they are adding DLSS support and a new Cycles feature on boosting texture performances

[jaunty quiver]

stopp google~ I want the repeat node for shaders, not geometry node

I give up~ tysm for nothing google

oh It literally just repeat nodes

wait I thought the guy's a robot

[potent basalt]

I have seen some artists give robots eyebrows lol... it's that easier to portray emotions thing or what robot equivalent could be

[warm spoke]

ooopps

it's either that my design isn't good or that you misinterpreted it

it's based on an animation i made a year ago

so i just took the model and remade it

[potent basalt]

futurama's bender is somewhere in between... his eyes shape based to how he feels XD but has no visible eyebrows

[jaunty quiver]

I just misinterpreted it

[warm spoke]

(with eyes)

[warm spoke]

[jaunty quiver]

personally havent seen any of them ngl

a robotic eyebrow sure~ but eyebrow with hair

[jaunty quiver]

this makes it clearer

[warm spoke]

robot with hair

[potent basalt]

yeah it's very rare unless it's a robot with a face that is designed to look like human's face... like arnold terminator for example... although in this case of course it's just actor pretending to be a robot XD or cybernetic organism

Idk I asked for feedback and people told me to make them thicker so

[placid heart]

https://tenor.com/view/star-gif-16789607377123159596

[fallow summit]

I don't know how I would do that

[deep hornet]

Well, it just look disproportionate to me :LULE:

[exotic python]

looks nice to me, It's ok to stylize anatomy, not like anime girls don't already have eyes 10x the size of a normal humam being

[rocky jay]

I'm a little confused as to what "anime" even means as a style? for example, I've been drawing art from signalis and the characters have normal human proportions. are they not "Anime" then?

(not my drawings ofc these are in game art)

or is "anime style" simply a scale that goes from human with simple coloring and shading to chibi characters

[potent basalt]

I get what you mean... it becomes grey zone once you start to do like define nose more than just have a line depicting it like a lot of modern art... one way to see if something is anime style is compare it to commercial styles of various eras in anime industry

[rocky jay]

well I mean this shot doesnt have a very defined nose because of the dark and diffuse lighting

[exotic python]

For the most part, it's by association. Anime is just the type of media. But it's easier to just say "anime style" than to try to separate it by era, origin, etc.

[potent basalt]

one thing to recognize that anime and anime style are two separate things really... so if someone lives in japan and does animation they can call it anime but it's not necressarily anime style by having more realistic faces and stuff than cat like

[rocky jay]

I'd say its the shading and detail in the "ugly parts". The parts that our brain doesnt mind not seeing, which are usually simplified or excluded in an anime style

[patent quarry]

They have more realistic style faces but still on the anime side

[rocky jay]

yes thats why i called it anime as a style

[potent basalt]

just clarifying as a lot of people don't find it so obvious... so just in case XD

[rocky jay]

a real life nose has a lot of detail, but with the anime style other things are also simplified so it can be made as an afterthought

[exotic python]

Usually yes, but not always.

[rocky jay]

and wherever something seems "too realistic" you can always add some more straight lines and edges

[potent basalt]

happens a lot with avatar the last airbender... with people confusing anime with anime style while arguing over it... that's a good example where something is not anime (not produced in japan) but has anime art style

[patent quarry]

The noses in the examples you gave are still triangles

[rocky jay]

i guess anime is just comfortably in between realism and cartoony

mostly realistic proportions (with some degree of variation), but often simpler coloring, shading and shapes.

[potent basalt]

there are certain tells at glance that makes my mind go "that's anime style" XD but I have had a situation where people don't agree... like FFXIV is such borderline case with mi'qote... their looks are inspired by anime style and have a bit more defined noses due being 3D... but unlike other species in the game they have a bit more anime style in them... actually in fact potatoes (lalafells) have anime chibi style XD

[exotic python]

Anime can be anything, as long as it's animated (in Japan). "Anime" as a style is the general consensus of what is popular as an art style in the industry.

[potent basalt]

there are trends like back in eighties it was still popular to make noses more defined than now

[exotic python]

"Popular" isn't the word I wanted, but I think you get the idea.

[potent basalt]

it has changed over time quite a bit

yeah I understand what you're saying... also, cyberpunk genre also has had such an impact back in the day... there was period japan was really into it (not that it's not still popular)

[exotic python]

Yes, which reminds me, one way people filter this is by saying "90s anime style," "early 2000s style," or just "anime style" if that's what people are used to seeing nowadays.

[potent basalt]

makes sense... for sake of sanity XD I haven't memorized which author draws in what style all that extensively

[rocky jay]

I really cant find any good answers online so imma ask here which grip do you guys think is best for drawing circles? you know, for the first shape of the head

[potent basalt]

how to desribe it... keep the hand above surface and draw circle that way... makes it easier

[exotic python]

Supporting the weight on the hand is a common habit and one of the enemies of continuous lines

that and zooming too much, daily fight against myself

[potent basalt]

I tend to draw ovals over circles quite a bit due it's how my art style has developed and it's much easier to get enough right than circle...

to do circle is just keep trying and you eventually get it... aside of right kind of grip etc there is no magic trick unless you use some tool for it

[potent basalt]

oh yeah... part of doing art is doing less zooming like expecting people to check your art with 800% zoom XD

I tend to do really clean lineart but try to strike more of balance and leave some of it to enhance how artwork looks like... same with shapes like circles, being pixel perfect with it would just be ridiculous when slight imperfection might look better and be hardly noticeable

[rocky jay]

how do I zoom paper

[patent quarry]

You just have to practice and build muscle

Doesn't have to be perfect anyways

[austere beacon]

I haven't seen any that don't simplify the nose. Even Jojos does to a degree. Although I suppose you could say something like Stellar Blade is somewhat anime-styled, and that doesn't have simplified noses.

[patent quarry]

A panel from manga I am a hero

[austere beacon]

That's simplified.

[patent quarry]

Yes but not as much as most anime styles

It still has the distinct nose shape

Many just make the nose a dot

Or a triangle

[austere beacon]

Yeah not as much, but it's still simplified to a degree.

[patent quarry]

I'm not saying it's not simplified

[austere beacon]

Different manga and anime styles have different degrees of simplification.

[jaunty quiver]

Looks pretty similar to Initial D/MF-Ghost manga artstyle, I think~ semi realistic anime style

[patent quarry]

I'd say even more realistic leaning

Golden kamuy

[jaunty quiver]

The manga not the anime~ just clarifying, Anime artstyle is more anime than manga

[patent quarry]

The signalis example was more simplisd and just a triangle shape

[austere beacon]

Yeah that's a lesser degree of it than most.

[jaunty quiver]

Looks cool

[austere beacon]

I think out of any other manga, Jojos part 7 might have the least simplification. I could be wrong about that though.

[patent quarry]

Im judging how the nose would look if you isolated it from all other face parts

[austere beacon]

Here's an example.

[jaunty quiver]

the chins

[austere beacon]

This first image isn't really simplified at all. Although it's inconsistent. In this other image it's more simplified than the other.

[austere beacon]

Ikr?

It's probably my favorite style out of any manga.

[jaunty quiver]

All cool and all, I can see why

Me, I'm just a huge sucker for Moe anime artstyle

[austere beacon]

It's probably easier for me to draw too since I'm more used to drawing using traditional anatomical methods.

[austere beacon]

Yeah those styles are pretty cute, there's a lot I like but the more realistic styles are my favorite.

[jaunty quiver]

its like in completely different end of the spectrum

[austere beacon]

Ye lmao

[jaunty quiver]

I like some anime making it as a joke~ where they suddenly switch artstyle to semi-realistic.

Granblue for example

But yeah I appreciate both artstyles

[austere beacon]

Outside of manga, this is probably my favorite style overall. I haven't even played these games yet either.

[potent basalt]

[jaunty quiver]

[austere beacon]

The manga|anime/manwha/manhua inspired realistic aesthetic is like candy to my brain lmao.

serious question is it normal to be pretty good at something on the first try when you have a reference (0 tracing)

or have I just had this hidden art talent laying around

I really dont mean to brag but I have just expected my art to look a lot worse

[patent quarry]

Yeah pretty normal

[rocky jay]

I guess there is just a lot of talent that can be had in art, as well as it being very easily noticable when someone is talented

[potent basalt]

it's helpful to be motivated... copying references is a good starting point or so internet keeps telling me lol

[clever juniper]

You know the feeling when you create a cool Neuro animation for a week and it doesnt get in the starboard while a random doodle comic you did in 2 hours did? Well Im glad people like my comic doodle 🥲

[patent quarry]

i woudlnt worry about talent, especially at your stage

[patent quarry]

F, what people will like and make popular is weird isnt it

[rocky jay]

tbf your comic is easier to react to

[clever juniper]

Now that you mention it, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks I feel like I learned something

[rocky jay]

just spent like 10 minutes searching for my pencil (it was in my pencil sharpener right next to me).

[fallow summit]

Progress from yesterday to now, wish I couldve done more

[dreamy basalt]

Wip from photography class

[rocky jay]

okay now im kinda getting pissed cause I saw a video of someone painting watercolors over a pencil drawing with no issues but if I try with even less water than they used it gets muddy

[orchid parcel]

what your trying to do is mixing chemical liquids, so the result depents of if the liquids can mix or not.

if the pencil uses alcohol in its ink it will mix with water.

there are 4 types of alcohol that paint thinner uses, those will always mix with your colours (thins paint as the name apllys)

so get smart and research chemical liquid reactions to understand what is happening and improve you knowledge or research by trying different types of ink pencils and find it out what combinations work

[rocky jay]

i use a regular old graphite pencil

dont see why there would be alcohol in that

[orchid parcel]

Graphite is naturally insoluble in water, good for making washes

[rocky jay]

I'm having an easier time drawing a 4D omnitruncated tesseract centered on a hexagon than drawing hands

[orchid parcel]

to give more info:
paints use a medium, in your case its water.
the colour chemicals inside the water will be absorbed by the paper/parchement/canvas and after some time the chemical process of mixing air and water will remove the water out of the paints drying it.

the water is mixing with the graphite giving you the ability to create a shade as it darkens the colour your using.
getting the amount if liquids right to create a good shade take experience and training.

when you do not like to create shades than use a diffrent pencil like inks and lets those dry out before applying water as they might also mix when still partial liquid

[rocky jay]

I just dont have anything for lineart that doesnt smear terribly when I erase the sketch and look shitty blue on top of it

gotta get myself one of those waterproof liners I've been recommended

juggling two composition ideas in my head for a staz tarot card. either gonna use the architect room scene in the matrix with the screens in the back playing neuro clips, or have staz drawn on a big screen in an orwell 1984 big brother looking theme. both might work to show staz’s omnipresent nature, but when i do the sketches, they just dont look quite right to me.

might have to rethink another idea

[loud orbit]

WHO IS THIS I DONT REMEMBER MAKING HER IN PASTEL GIRL WTF

[stark oyster]

Can anyone help me out, I posted a WIP drawing of reshiram and idk how to shade stuff on digital

[mint root]

should be pretty straightforward, basically how you shade in traditional. place a light source and add shadows

[stark oyster]

Is that it? Like idk how to describe it but even with shadows the drawing feels kinda flat

Like don’t people use like ambient light effects or whatever, how does that work

[dim sinew]

I mean, as everything depends on your style and stuff. You can add a white gradient (Or your light source colour) from your light source direction to add some more color to the shading/lightning.

And just try stuff! One of the benefits of digital is how flexible it is. Use different color shadows, change the base color a bit, try harder or softer shadows. A lot will come naturally as you try stuff and finds techniques that you like more.

[potent basalt]

yeah... it's similar how back in the day displays weren't so good so as a side effect it made pixel art look better, even without really planning for it... so trying to emulate stuff like that can make some really cool art lol

[clear umbra]

.

[fallow summit]

overall art is done (i got lazy with shading the legs), just need to add the rest of the character sheet info and whatnot

[fallow summit]

Drew this on a mouse btw

[potent basalt]

humble flex ^^

but yeah it's very much pixel art so makes sense

[deep hornet]

My flex is that I always drew without reference

[fallow summit]

I mean I just turned off anti aliasing so

[potent basalt]

makes sense... first brush overall shape and then closer details... looks like pxel art without actually placing each pixel individually

[potent basalt]

I pretty much didn't get into using a lot of references... better or worse... I just headbutted by drawing from imagination mostly... I think it has to do with I found it more interesting... it has carried over doing fanart so that I give characters my own fan designs

[deep hornet]

Nice

Drawing from imagination can be great

That's where my reference stay anyways :LULE:

[potent basalt]

yup... it's great training to examine details and then visualize them later XD

like I have quite good idea how neuro-sama and evil neuro officially look like currently

visualizing from imagination is kind of like augmented reality... it's easy way to put it... but it's also so taxing if really focusing to it

[mint root]

there's blending modes but you can just apply lightning effects manually if you want and choose the shadow color depending on how you want the light to be. there are alot of ways you can shade in digital but if its what you uploaded you can make the shadow darker in value maybe add some saturation to it. and add more shadows as I think there's not enough of it. lineart or at least outlines will also help especially if your shading is more on the simple side

are the hair and dress physics done by bone contraints?

[jaunty quiver]

Exactly its just a plane with some vector mapping shenanigans. The Dress is Cloth physics simulated, and the hair is soft body, I tried using cloth on the hair but it doesn't retain its shape

Just testing, I could also use the damptrack fake physics if I want faster previews

[mint badge]

ahh soft body

that looks way better than what I thought soft body could achieve

[patent quarry]

Not a bad result yeah

just increase the spring a lot, so it could retain the original shape be it a bit bouncy as a result

pointing out people not usually drawing roots reminds me of video games with roots never sticking out... it's not until more recently they have started to do that detail too as real trees can have quite wide roots that you can spot from surface going through ground

i see, will that still able to show on stream if i changed the old post?

It could still be shown on stream anyway, even without "schedule allowed" tag, because it has other purpose:

Add the schedule allowed tag if you expressly give permission for the artwork to be used on the official schedule! Please only use this tag if the picture has at least the evil or neuro tags please!

ur sketches are so clean and nice looking comapred to mine. maybe its because my pencil was dull but yours looks so good!

also you use all of those sketch lines for the face which i dont know how to do i think it would help a lot if i learned. all i do is an atari and then the chin+circle thing

i can really only draw standing straight up, facing forward

and also... hair. hair takes so long

i also cant draw without a reference most times...

[rocky jay]

some of your drawings look like those professional artists drawing a self portrait while on illicit substances and I mean that in a good way. like they look like you're drawing directly off your mind instead of what is in front of you or on the paper. they look like a set of sort of random shapes come together to form a recognizable image, like it was directly taken from your mind

[rocky jay]

I'm sorry for ever putting a pencil to paper holy shit

me: hmm what should I draw
my brain: you could draw perspectives!
me: hmmm I think I will draw another front-facing face

[exotic python]

I wish I have the discipline to do studies, my mind always try to turn it in something else

[tulip hamlet]

Neuro Nom

[crisp roost]

eated

[patent quarry]

Make ur art pieces into studies

[exotic python]

I used to use that as an excuse when I posted bad art

[potent basalt]

has worked personally... I mean the whole just post art and don't be shy about posting it... also then you can scroll down and see how you have progressed XD

[strange furnace]

This makes me irrevocably happy

[potent basalt]

I gotta stop procrastinating as much and get some ideas going XD

I actually saw some artwork recently that suddenly inspired me to try certain style

[warm spoke]

go for it

[potent basalt]

I'm trying XD totally soon-ish

[twin rock]

Anybody wanna make some shit here

[buoyant gorge]

[slender oasis]

looking forward 👀

(no pressure lol)

[severe lintel]

Guys I think I cooked today 🙏 Hoping ill finally be free from the art block and demotivation after this banger piece- Forgot how much I love charcoal ngl ;-;

[compact mango]

hey, could someone help me learn how to do commisions?

[oblique badge]

Do you have a portfolio to start with?

[compact mango]

I can make one

[oblique badge]

Good, its important first impression for your potential clients

Most popular option for portfolio is website made in carrd

Pick your best works, the ones that represent your style and skill, ideally with different compositions and angles, dont put like 3 portraits there, you need some variety

Quality over quantity

[oblique badge]

Oh, right, and even before that, you need to think if you actually ready to do comms

there is no need for rushing

[icy quail]

Meowwwwww

I am pretty good with hair but with the body I am shiiii

[slender oasis]

anatomy

[mint root]

folds

[icy quail]

I am working a story idea I gave to a vtuber and their community. I got approved now I am currently working on the baseline. And all their characters one by one

Sadly some of them don’t know how to make characters

So I will make it for them with their small ideas ofc

[mint badge]

why is :newro: clearer than smh, should be 🤝

[manic timber]

idk, my newro was pulled from a different server than here, weird

[jaunty quiver]

this is geonodes generated?

wait is the room a 3d render?

[mint badge]

yes

[mint badge]

nu

[jaunty quiver]

Yeah I didnt believe it at first, but noticed how clean the room is

[gentle glen]

[mint badge]

I like realism

[jaunty quiver]

I don't believe a room that perfect exists~ unless its a newly built or newly painted room

[mint badge]

looks like I need to bring more chaos

[jaunty quiver]

Yep

[mint badge]

btw why did you think something is generated by geonodes

[jaunty quiver]

That was meant for the flowers

idk I just felt like it is

[mint badge]

flowers are procedural yea

this was the final render

one of my best piece

I'm proud of it

[jaunty quiver]

do you manually set them up? or get some node setup somewhere?

[mint badge]

[mint badge]

node setup somewhere

and the plugin botaniq

[jaunty quiver]

Yeah It looks great, even has random lengths and curves for the grass

Botaniq costs a lot

[mint badge]

it's 2usd for starter

[jaunty quiver]

really? Ig I've only seen the full price

120 usd

[mint badge]

I'm pretty sure I would want to get GAEA 2 before buying the full botaniq

[jaunty quiver]

Starter so... .less presets/assets?

[mint badge]

yep

but same functionality

you can build your own asset library

[jaunty quiver]

[mint badge]

[jaunty quiver]

I never made an asset library b4~ a lot of my stuff are just 1 time use & tossed away

I'm not into rendering so

[mint badge]

you would need an asset library if you want to get into environment arts

yea fair

[jaunty quiver]

wait gaea is completely different software~ I thought it was an addon

It looks like most of its workflow is procedural?

[mint badge]

mhm

node-based procedural terrain generation tool

[jaunty quiver]

, isnt unreal 5 good for those things?

[mint badge]

unreal engine is only for real-time rendering

[jaunty quiver]

Don't they have those terrain generation as well?

[mint badge]

ehhh I don't know, but I never heard of anyone using ue5 for terrain tool

they share a different purpose I would say

gaea is made specifically for terrain

ue5 I feel like is more on the real-time rendering side

or gaming of course

[jaunty quiver]

cause I've seen some videos using nodes for terrains in UE5

[mint badge]

ahh now I see it

landscape tools

nah it's nowhere close to gaea

https://quadspinner.com/Gallery

[jaunty quiver]

This gaea software has 90$ price, it should be better

[mint badge]

I believe the clouds here are made with Houdini, and is rendered in Blender

it's just, crazy

[jaunty quiver]

[mint badge]

same artist

[jaunty quiver]

Oh do you know an addon or software that is good for making stages/cities?

[mint badge]

nope

[jaunty quiver]

I might try sketchup again, but I don't think its made for that

[mint badge]

I want to get into city scenery, but I can't find any resources on that as well

[jaunty quiver]

Same same

im still waiting

you choose

[rocky jay]

i think i like drawing this angle

[worthy sluice]

hi chat

[potent basalt]

hi

I have had off-week with art... action of simply starting a new drawing can be like a mountain at times

[slender oasis]

real

[austere beacon]

Lmao that’s nothing. I had off-years, and some months are just dry. A week off is fine, especially if you’re feeling burnt out. It really can be a hurdle trying to get yourself to make something at times, but just drawing badly helps, it’s easier to fix it later.

[night cradle]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/78863186

I recommend you read the arc of a scythe series before you read this but it isn’t required.

[rocky jay]

hello

[night cradle]

You might need to dm them.

They left.

[rocky jay]

I like to draw insane-looking women so naturally I've been studing the usseewa MV

[potent basalt]

yeah it's not actual burnout in my case I think... got over it to start a new artwork https://puu.sh/KIWR2/3bf831c975.png

[dreamy jolt]

evil sketch~

[potent basalt]

https://puu.sh/KIX7E/6a0c72521d.png

[grizzled wyvern]

I wanna dye one of my turtle plushies thats white and blue to green for vedal, but I only got acrylic paint. Would i be able to somehow dye the plushie green while keeping its softness with acrylic paint? Like a bunch of acrylic paint mixed with a boat load of water to sort of "stain" the turtle.

[mint root]

I feel like I struggle to draw a face every time for no reason

[rocky jay]

Chat I'm gonna hit you with something crazy

Hands are FUN to draw

They are SO SATISFYING to get right

[mint root]

if you get used to it then yeah

[rocky jay]

I drew hands with the long triangle finger method and it was fun

[mint root]

I just wing it. or just use sticks

[wide river]

real

[wide river]

His mother.

[autumn lily]

Niceee

[faint valley]

Need more outfits to draw…

[patent quarry]

Use rectangles, fingers are more rectangles that taper slightly at the end

[rocky jay]

that is a lot more difficult in terms of scale and proportions but makes it work for fingers that aren't just pointing straight out. but for that the triangles are fine

[dark lake]

still a lot of work maybe any ideas towards improving ,besides background ?

[patent quarry]

? Wdym for fingers pointing straight out
