[white bison]

I know that feeling all too well lol

[shell jewel]

But it look's cool though.

[proud birch]

Love the tree

[proud birch]

Imagine if everyones bald

[wary briar]

tree

[steady abyss]

dude real

[proud birch]

So true

We wouldnt have to put effort on learning how to draw and color hair

Saves 50% time

[steady abyss]

you would instead need to shade the bald shininess to perfection

[proud birch]

OMG

Discord lagged so hard i sent 4 gifs instead of 1

[spark knoll]

Hi artists, I'm asking for advice for a artwork I'm working on, I'm at the coloring stage

[proud birch]

Feel free

Can i see

[spark knoll]

What I've got so far

[proud birch]

Mmhm

Gyaa-

I mean

[spark knoll]

[proud birch]

I guess you can start by umm

Coloring it??

[spark knoll]

Very good advice

[proud birch]

I guess you can start by erasing the lines inside that guys sleeve

Then set a layer underneath it

Now u clip every layer above this base layer and color??

Or i reckon you know about this

[wary briar]

I wish ved pet me

[proud birch]

If yes then you can add another layer on top set the layer type to like multiply/linear burn and erase stuff so it becomes your highlight

[spark knoll]

Bunch of words I no understand

[proud birch]

Then u can choose whatever color u want

[steady abyss]

literally

[spark knoll]

I'm not an expert artist

[steady abyss]

all i got out of that was eraser

[spark knoll]

I've only been drawing for 4 years

[proud birch]

i can try simplify it

Make lineart, then add gray base layer then another layer for shadow (this layer type is burn/multiply) then erase some of the layer so it looks like light shining on body

With this u can now just keep playing around

Wait actually

[spark knoll]

Interesting

I'll try that out

[spark knoll]

Alright I'll try something like that

[proud birch]

Okay i hope i helped

[spark knoll]

also the reason theres lines in vedal is cuz its seperate layers

[proud birch]

I see

I usually just paint it all on one layer

[spark knoll]

see its fine without the

[proud birch]

I see thats all good as well

Im just lazy ngl

The layer with colors is the bottomest, and the layers on top is jsut a bunch of nonsense

[steady abyss]

literally i draw everything on one layer the few times i've actually tried digital

[proud birch]

Haha thats a nice habit

[turbid karma]

same

[proud birch]

So its easier to manage it when u add shadows, burns, highlights and midtones

Altho i usually just copy the workflow of pro artists

[spark knoll]

i just do

rough sketch, sketch, lineart, color, shade and highlights, background

[proud birch]

Interesting

I do color the last

[wary briar]

I used layers a lot but I stopped drawing for a while and I forgot how it all works now

[proud birch]

Same

[spark knoll]

i only draw digital

[proud birch]

I forgot the steps

[white bison]

I usually do background first then everything else

[proud birch]

Same

[spark knoll]

i cant draw backgrounds

[proud birch]

I like to paint in shades of gray so i can adjust the values

[spark knoll]

is this good?

[proud birch]

Yeah perfect altho the dark is too dark, it gives a more dramatic feel into it

[spark knoll]

oh lemme change the opacity

[proud birch]

Looks nice either way to me

Ur doing great

[spark knoll]

now what do i do

how do i color

[proud birch]

Well umm

[spark knoll]

[proud birch]

I like yo put the color layer below the burn

[spark knoll]

interesting

[proud birch]

I recommend to paint it at half saturation too

[spark knoll]

you got the colors almost exactly right lol

[tidal cosmos]

I haven't tried to do that yet nor continued drawing as my attention is on somewhere else

[proud birch]

Lmao

Okay

[tidal cosmos]

Well I'm having fun learning godot

[proud birch]

Now u can add another layer for both highlight and ambient color, highlight is the bright light and the ambient color is the blue color bouncing from bg towards the shadows

Use a soft brush too

[tidal cosmos]

And itl make me draw pixelarts

Wait now that I looked at it

[proud birch]

Thats nice

I find pixel art very cute

[spark knoll]

i made pixel art a while back

[proud birch]

But i cant make them since i go crazy and its more hectic to make than painting so i have alot of respect for pixel artists

Since pixels have to be arranged in order and no layers too

[tidal cosmos]

I feel like it's easier for me on pixel art but idk never really do pixel art that much

[spark knoll]

most recent pixel art i made

[hushed jungle]

not inherently

its pretty easy once you get familiar with it

[tidal cosmos]

Wdym by this exactly? Curious

[hushed jungle]

there are layers

[proud birch]

When i partook in the pixel wars we did like back then

I would never wanna do that again

[hushed jungle]

thats different i think

with proper tools its very similar to painting

its a LOT less tedious tho

[tidal cosmos]

Ye I'm I was just curious if there's any other thing borzoi was talking about

[spark knoll]

the hair looks kiunda weird

[proud birch]

There must be some kind of software that makes pixel art easy

[hushed jungle]

there are a lot

[proud birch]

But all the other pixel arts i made were tedious to make

[spark knoll]

i use piskel

[hushed jungle]

https://www.pixilart.com/
try this, no install, on browser

[tidal cosmos]

I got aseprite when they had 60%(was it?) Off I forgor

[hushed jungle]

piskel is great too

i use a combination of piskel, and photoshop

[proud birch]

Oh may i ask what type of burn is this

Color burn?

[spark knoll]

just like

[proud birch]

I think itll look less weird once u switch it to multiply or linear

Ohhh yeah default is color burn

Ngl it has a charm to it

[tidal cosmos]

Oh this is nice,does it work with a shitty internet that gets cut off every hour?

[proud birch]

Its like the dark part is glowing

[hushed jungle]

probably

idk

[tidal cosmos]

Lul

The dycotomy of myself that don't wanna just only go for browser programs

[hushed jungle]

piskel works too, i like piskel

[spark knoll]

looks..better..kinda after i set it to multiply

[hushed jungle]

i use photoshop for the heavy lifting

but when im doing the main body of work, i use piskel or pixilart

finish off in photoshop

[spark knoll]

i dont know what to do about the hair shading

it just looks weird

[tidal cosmos]

Aight back to how variables works ,

Ttyl

[proud birch]

Did u use 2 different colors for the hair?

[spark knoll]

no

well kinda

for the twintails yes

[proud birch]

Oh lol dw it can be easily fixed

I think i know what u wanted to do

[spark knoll]

how fixxx

[proud birch]

U can add a layer below multiply

It can be either i think darken/burn

Always use a gray color when painting in burn too

The darker it is the more saturated the resulting color becomes

[spark knoll]

interesting

[spark knoll]

i accidentally made it look like he has a skirt on

[strange dust]

ms paint surely

[strange dust]

I doubt the sanity of those people

hundreds of people competing for 1 pixel every 5 seconds

[spark knoll]

what do i do now

[wary briar]

thirst trap vedal in the making

[spark knoll]

Oh lord

[steady abyss]

idk if you meant for it or not but the mouth is kinda high

[spark knoll]

It's intentional

[steady abyss]

ok

just wanted to make sure

[steady abyss]

the way most people color like triggers my ocd

i like have to color between all the lines perfectly

[wary briar]

[tidal cosmos]

Shit, I think I got artblock , I don't have any ideas in my head popping up that usually happens all the time for me

[silent stratus]

aseprite mentioned

[tidal cosmos]

(still forgets what the frick the code is) and no its just a test , and the art is paccha's

[shut obsidian]

melon

[tidal cosmos]

Yummy

[steady abyss]

truly food

[tidal cosmos]

changed her outfit cuz i can actually work on it

[late frost]

hey guys! I bought myself a tablet

[tidal cosmos]

nice

[late frost]

I have a question

The site says that i need to instol some drivers to make tablet work but it's working already

[tidal cosmos]

what tablet?

[late frost]

huion inspory h580x

[tidal cosmos]

still suggest you download the drivers so you can change to ur liking

[late frost]

ok

[tidal cosmos]

i think you can use the tablet cus of the inbuilt windows ink(for tablets i guess?)

[late frost]

mhm

also what program shoud i use to draw?

[tidal cosmos]

theres alot

firealpacaa, krita, csp, photoshop etc.

but personally i use krita as its free

[late frost]

for free is almost all i need from program for now

[tidal cosmos]

firealpaca is good aswell for low spec pcs but i dont think it has dark mode so i changed

[late frost]

very interesting

so the driver is a thing that allows you to configure the tablet?

[viscid gust]

ive heard great things about firealpaca

i use 12 year old copy of Paint Tools SAI

[viscid gust]

yup!

once you have it installed youll prbably need to restart your computer

[tidal cosmos]

[late frost]

ok i understand now

i'll try krita

i wonder where paccha draws

[viscid gust]

Clip Studio Paint

[late frost]

what a legend

[boreal stump]

csp is the best for drawing imo

but it'd be nice if they copied some features from photoshop for editing

[tidal cosmos]

i would like to buy csp if its permanent

[boreal stump]

it is but if im not mistaken it wont update to last version

[tidal cosmos]

i thought it was subscription based?

[late frost]

Holy hell it feels so good

[mortal gyro]

they have permanent licenses

but if you already have v2 you need to pay a bit to upgrade to v3 etc

[late frost]

look i made a bird or something

[boreal stump]

they have both

[late frost]

I need to go to work. Sad i can't draw more :<

[boreal stump]

evangelion reference wth

[late frost]

Holy, you're right

i don't know what it is

[boreal stump]

[steady abyss]

plot twist, you're actually grinding out a fully rendered and rigged heir vtuber model

[viscid gust]

god i wish

i need a proper character ref for that

which requires even more money

[steady abyss]

i like want to try to make it just to make it but it just looks like alot of very tedious layerwork haha

and i like despise layers

[viscid gust]

layers hurt

[steady abyss]

real

[proud birch]

Cool artstyle, i can tell you are rrally good at trad

[glacial estuary]

any tips?

[turbid karma]

judging by the hair the wind is coming from the left, but with the skirt raised exactly opposite

[glacial estuary]

Hmm

Its how it looked the best

I made an infinity symbol for the skirt

Sure i will try to flip it

[turbid karma]

something else caught my eye. you drew the eyes well, but on the left you have bigger lashes, and on the right they're a little off to the side (1 screenshot is with the changes made)

[glacial estuary]

oh ok

noted

thanks

[glacial estuary]

i want this detail tho

its cute

[turbid karma]

Yeah, sure, you just need to tweak the edges a bit, I did the whole lashes line for me

You did draw the eyes really well, just pay attention to the edges of the lashes next time

[glacial estuary]

[vast cobalt]

i havennt been working my drawings 😭 i lost motivation to fix her clothes

[urban notch]

Thanks! I have been focused on drawing traditionally this year only getting back to digital. 😄

[steady abyss]

i really liked this concept sketch i did at work the other night so im trying to design what it would look like if it really existed but im like lost at how to make the skeletal structure lmfao

[wise stone]

look up the skeleton anatomy/diagram, that should give you general idea of it.

Btw, remember my festival drawing plan? I call it quit.
College stuff hits hard when it starts.

I left with these incomplete and redraws plan.

[steady abyss]

i wish you luck with college

real

[wind laurel]

Im in yet another art contest, this time for card wars

[proud birch]

Nice composition

[grim isle]

I love this style, it looks so cool

[weak wave]

i think the head looks a bit big on the body. a good measurement i like to use is the distance between the neck and hips

on child characters like neuro that length is usually 1.5 to 2 heads long

if you are going with a chibi style its a bit different however

[glacial estuary]

wow yeah i think i forgot to count the heads

i think its fine tho

[turbid karma]

Well, then you could say the eyes are huge. It's just style

[glacial estuary]

im not going for anything defined

its late for me lol typo

[weak wave]

also just personal preference but when the head size is wider than the hips it causes it to be a bit unbalanced

[glacial estuary]

hmm

is it at least interesting?

[turbid karma]

For moe style, its' a common thing

[glacial estuary]

thanks for help 👍 anyways, i will see what i can do tomorrow

[white bison]

I wanted to share a piece im proud of, is there anything i can improve on?

[turbid karma]

I really like your art.
I think these shadows is too dark, and there's no chair leg shadow on the floor, also I'd make the crayon a different color because it blends in with the floor

[white bison]

Oh yeah, I guess i missed the chair, solid advice, I’ll try working on the shadows and values

[jade loom]

You have unlocked new role

[eager kiln]

This is round 2 with these hands, the last attempt ended prematurely. I'm not too proud of it but despite it I'm going to keep at it.

[viscid gust]

CONGRATS ON EMBEDS

[white bison]

Thank you!!

[viscid gust]

[white bison]

[viscid gust]

daily art coming tomorrow.
I took a mental day off today to get things back in track

[late frost]

Hi

i hope you don't mind if i share my low skill scetches

[boreal stump]

Its okay

There’s plenty of people who will gladly help you if needed

[late frost]

I definitely will need help. It seems like there is so much stuff I need to learn so I don't even know what to do and what I should search

[steady abyss]

best thing i can tell you is just draw what you want and have fun

if you want yo draw that thing better

[boreal stump]

You can start with drawing simple shapes

[steady abyss]

watch tutorials on the specific thing to get better

or do what niko said

[late frost]

what niko said?

[steady abyss]

funny troll face man

[late frost]

?

[boreal stump]

Its more philosophical topic but imo it cant be always fun and games, sometimes everybody has to struggle

[boreal stump]

Drawing simple shapes

[steady abyss]

well yeah of course

[boreal stump]

Just making it clear bc somebody can take it literally

[steady abyss]

you can struggle on something and still make it fun though

like i try not to go out of my way to draw stuff i like absolutely hate just for the sole purpose of drawing it

but sometimes i do said stuff like anatomy

[late frost]

actually I drew a lot before I got the tablet but at some point it felt like I reached some sort of cap. I stopped improving and started to draw almost same things over and over again. then i give up for 2 years or so

[warm pewter]

This is so awesome and cute! I noticed that the beds, drawer, desk, window etc don't align to a consistent vanishing point so maybe next time keep an eye out for that, because it makes the perspective a bit clearer but great work nontheless

[latent hare]

Wake me up when another art contest drop

[white bison]

Will keep in mind, Appreciate the help!

[boreal stump]

finally can somehow comeback to drawing

next step: learn how to draw mouth

[mortal spoke]

i need to figure out how to draw a ballista....

the things i do for neuro

[wary briar]

Can't be THAT hard right

[mortal spoke]

surely

[wary briar]

In fact i can draw one right now

Let me try

[mortal spoke]

it too hard

[wary briar]

Oh shit

[mortal spoke]

theres so much wrong with this

[wary briar]

Yeah

What is that

We are cooked

[mortal spoke]

idk how to draw the spike either.. its over

lil cartoon about my friends

[late frost]

bro this is amazing

[wary briar]

YEET nico

[late frost]

an axe but colored

I guess to draw something you need to draw a sketch, then clean it, and then color it, right?

and there is alaso a shading

and rendering

i have no idea what rendering is

[wary briar]

We don't know either, we just throw this word around without knowing what it really means

But fr, is the process of creating a realistic or lifelike representation of an object or scene. It's a way for artists to use tools like charcoal, paint, or a digital stylus to illustrate light and shadow, texture, and color in their work. The goal is to add depth and dimension to a flat sketch, making it appear more dynamic and realistic

[harsh arch]

The workflow varies, but this is the most usual structure

[late frost]

interesting

[wary briar]

Just in time

[runic python]

interesting~

[proud birch]

Yessirr

[spark knoll]

Working on neuro art

[viscid gust]

Hey I normally don’t feel like I need to do this, but you’ve been straying a bit way too far off model to the point of sexualizing neuro a bit too much.

[spark knoll]

Oh, I tried using a reference this time, I guess it didn't work out this time

I'll try to fix it then

[viscid gust]

I don’t like policing people’s art. I just wanted to let you know. I apologize if I sounded harsh

[spark knoll]

It's fine, it's just a little out of control for me since drawing isn't fun for me so I just see what makes it easier and more fun for me

[viscid gust]

I understand.

You have a lot of potential so I hope to keep watching you grow into a wonderful artist!

[spark knoll]

I don't think drawing neuro is for me tho since I'm already getting roughed up by lack of motivation

[viscid gust]

Well this thread is for art of anyone and anything (as long as it’s not obviously breaking the rules)

So if you need a break from Neuro feel free to draw whatever or whoever!

[spark knoll]

I guess, I just wanna keep it to something the server is familiar with

[steady abyss]

honestly, draw whatever you think is fun at the moment

[viscid gust]

Yeah!

[steady abyss]

if something becomes unfun then you will lose motivation

[spark knoll]

I think the bigger issue is that I'm not happy with my results at the moment so I need to practice more

[steady abyss]

thats everyone honestly haha

[spark knoll]

Somehow my second neuro drawing is better than my current one

I guess I'll do some private practice before I start drawing neuro again

[hybrid pilot]

I made one last Mass attack, this time it's dedicated to owners cats, who some of them unfortunately passed away. It's a reference to the album 25000 kittens and I suggest you definitely listen

[glacial estuary]

how do i do this?

[proud birch]

The right image would be correct if the right hand is hanging lowly

But otherwise id its crossed hands

[glacial estuary]

hmm

[glacial estuary]

dont want to change the pose

[proud birch]

Is it crossed hands

[glacial estuary]

not fully

left hand is on the hip

[proud birch]

Oh then well i guess theres nothing to fix

Thought u were going for crossed hands based on ref

[glacial estuary]

wow

maybe i needed to find better ref

btw is this legal? its not stealing right?

it might be hmm

[steady abyss]

as long as you're not tracing

[glacial estuary]

its not

will delete the image, it might be too lewd

[steady abyss]

it should be fine

[proud birch]

Neuro my pookie

[hybrid pilot]

How are y'all feeling about more giant Neuro for her giant ego?

Especially @viscid gust

[viscid gust]

Cuuutteeee

[hybrid pilot]

I love the idea of Neuro being a big but childish goddess

[viscid gust]

lol she just a has a bit of booba, no big deal. I give Neuro about that much when I draw her too

[steady abyss]

borzoi moment

[hybrid pilot]

I draw Neuro with little to no booba

[viscid gust]

So tomorrow btw I wanna do that weekly art thing I talked about before

Someone draws something, then everyone else redraws it in their styles, adding whatever they want to it over the course of like 3 days

If ppl wanna do it, Ill do the first drawing instead of spinning a wheel

[hybrid pilot]

Ooh I love people redrawing stuff

[steady abyss]

im down

[viscid gust]

if a couple of you are down Ill draw something for my Daily Neuro tomorrow, and then you guys look at it and give me your takes on it in your own styles

Reconvene on like thursday to show it off
then we do it again the monday after!

[hybrid pilot]

I finally finished the newest Neuro art https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1267257316357705750

[steady abyss]

looks great

[spark knoll]

would absolutely be down..if my style wasnt so..yknow..

[steady abyss]

lmfao

you should anyway, just tone it down or sum

[spark knoll]

yeah i dont think thats possible

[steady abyss]

just draw slightly smaller semi-circles and you'll be set

[viscid gust]

Ive seen you make art before with more toned down chests! I believe in you!

[spark knoll]

yeah but thats not fun lol

i want drawing to be fun for me

not just sitting at a desk drawing lines while being sad

[viscid gust]

Tickle Tickle.

Cheating with making up for yesterdays daily neuro by drawing both sisters today. Don't @ me. (This actually took a substantial amount of time holy)

Artist General (& Daily Neuro Day: 7/29)

[steady abyss]

so it turns out trying to make a skeletal structure for a non existent living robot-esq species is difficult lol

yeah i know the proportions are all like really off

but oh well

il fix it at some point

[undone hare]

i received the code for the prize fumo

should i test it by ordering 10 of em

[wise stone]

Isn't the code only work for one plush? I might be wrong tho.

Or you can order million plushes by using free code and bankrupt the company (Again) /j

[steady abyss]

one million neurons

[tidal cosmos]

Lmao

[elder trench]

obviously a rough sketch but its a start, the face is just temporary and i obviously need some shading and cleaning up my lines. what do you guys think, im really new to drawing stuff so i dont really know what im doing.

[late frost]

Very cool

[turbid karma]

very good! but first of all, I don't know why you're drawing in such a huge canvas. and I also want you to pay attention to the legs

[elder trench]

thanks, i dont know why either, i just like that size since its nice to draw on. thanks with the legs, i have been kinda struggling with that area for a bit. im about to like redraw it a bit because of things i didnt like so il apply that to the next version

[wise stone]

Try something new (Briefly)

[drowsy hinge]

If we do something like this would it be fine to trace over the image to convert it into pixel art before adding anything else?

[viscid gust]

I don’t mind?

[hybrid pilot]

Im finally done

4 hours and 10 minutes

[viscid gust]

Ohhh

I love it

[harsh arch]

Ok i did it

Do i wait for thursday

[viscid gust]

yeah
But id dint even post yet

Unless you guys want to use yesterday's drawing (it was p good actually)

[tidal cosmos]

Would be down when I have nothing to do or bored on doing what I'm doing

[viscid gust]

yeah i suppose we are redrawing this

[tidal cosmos]

aight might do a rough sketch later today or tomm but no promises :D

[proud birch]

(im kidding)

[turbid karma]

[proud birch]

Its kinda funny how shes looking on the thicc legs

[viscid gust]

hey Rey and Borzoi, you guys wanna join in on the weekly redraw?

[tidal cosmos]

Borzoi with their thicc art

:)

[proud birch]

Oh yeah i didnt know how to reach out about it actually

But im very interested to

[viscid gust]

The redraw will be of this @proud birch
Feel free to do whatever you want as long as it generally looks like you remade it in your style

Deadline will be on Thursday

Starting next week, I’ll be spending a wheel consisting of the people who drew this week

And that person will be the person who makes the art that we redraw

Feel free to go crazy with this and put a lot of detail into it if you want to, my particular Artstyle forgo detail normally

[proud birch]

Oh redraw like

Ummm

[viscid gust]

Oh, did you not understand?, Sorry.

[proud birch]

Sorry i have no idea how to redraw this is the first time i m doing it

[viscid gust]

lol

It’s fine

It doesn’t have to be 1:1

[proud birch]

Do i use this as a lineart or is it a referenced pose and expression?

Okay i see

[viscid gust]

hold on I can get you the actual reference I used

I need to close the live stream chat first one second

I copied this pose.
You howver can redraw it using it as a reference and you dont need to copy it 1:1

[turbid karma]

yeah

[proud birch]

I hope neuro tickles me like that

[spark knoll]

[proud birch]

Anyways i like how you perceived the reference

I think i prefer your art because i can understand whats happening better

[spark knoll]

I think I'm exhausted from art lol

[harsh arch]

My sleepy ass interpreted "redraw" as "draw your own interpretation of the prompt" so the poses don't resemble the reference at all

I can just make another

[turbid karma]

Are we gonna show our art on the same day? Or someone can do it earlier?

[harsh arch]

The ideal would be to show at the defined date I think

I guess you could use the time to refine your drawing

[elder trench]

progress on my doodle, its far from done but its getting somewhere i think, i dont know really

[turbid karma]

cool, i see that u added wind, on bottom hair and clothes, but dont forget about twintails and bangs

[proud birch]

Im pretty curious about what the artist usualyy draws

[turbid karma]

lmao

[spark knoll]

ive noticed that whenever i finish some art i feel crappy afterwards, any idea why

[proud birch]

It looks like emiko has a distinct artstyle

It looks nice

[harsh arch]

Do you like the process of drawing?

[elder trench]

yup, i know but i kinda ignored it. i also think the skintone is to dark, and like a plethora of things when im looking at it longer. but hey means i can redo it again i think

[spark knoll]

only some parts

[proud birch]

Dw all artists feel crappy after some of their arts

Some just move on and others try to assert perfection

[spark knoll]

I guess

It might be because I've been drawing Neuro a lot

[harsh arch]

Do you have something you'd like to draw right now?

Besides, obviously, Neuro

[spark knoll]

Not really

[turbid karma]

Well, mostly skin color is chosen somewhere in this area and you are very close to it, but a lot also depends on the background and lighting, I for example can show my last work where I used a saturated orange and its looks good (i think)

[spark knoll]

What.. is that color wheel

Wait that's not even a wheel

What is it

[steady abyss]

i like went insane learning japanese yesterday

[turbid karma]

triangle

[steady abyss]

and ruined one of my sketches

[harsh arch]

Oh is it hard

[elder trench]

i know, i dont know why but in my mind it was way lighter but it kinda feels a lot darker when its on the other colors. its not sweat tho i havent really shaded anything so its not that much more work

[spark knoll]

this is mine

[harsh arch]

Color context is a bitch

[steady abyss]

i like the challenge but remembering kanji is killing me

[elder trench]

yup, its kinda wild seeing the color used on some art when its just allone

[elder trench]

neat

[steady abyss]

two be or not two be

[harsh arch]

It does resemble scribbles horror characters make when they're being tormented by the monster and going insane

Just kidding. It's cute

[steady abyss]

lmfao

[eager kiln]

Different type but same concept, Circle part is Hue; Saturation and Value/Lightness are each of the sides opposing pure white.

[elder trench]

it doesnt help either that non of my displays show the same collour values either, 3 different monitors showing 3 different collours

[steady abyss]

thats just like me

all my monitors have different colors

i tried to get them to match but it just didn't work

[elder trench]

the wors part is that i have a good monitor that can be calibrated, like a office monitor for photo work but i dont have the things to calibrate it

[steady abyss]

rip

[eager kiln]

Matching monitors suck, Even with two identical ones I couldn't get them to be the same.

[elder trench]

i know but hey i got it for free from my dad so i wont complain

[steady abyss]

yeah i have two of the same size same brand same series of monitors but different resolution and the difference between them color wise is wild

[eager kiln]

Exact clones here and I still had issues. Glad I got better monitors for my use case now.

[steady abyss]

my main monitor is 4k res and my side monitor is 2k

i like kinda regret getting 4k res but its a nice monitor

i just need a graphics card with more vram

mine maxes out like instantly and it sucks

[eager kiln]

I picked up a pair of 4k touchscreens, besides art I'd force them into 2k 120hz or something similar.

[steady abyss]

i would do that for mine but it just looks off at 2k

since its not displaying native res

[eager kiln]

Yep, due to being 15 inches it isn't really noticeable on my end. But on larger setups I can't say the same there.

[steady abyss]

yeah my monitors are 32"

its very noticeable lol

[hybrid pilot]

@viscid gust quick question, have you ever heard of the creator vs OC trend?

Well I did it, the fruits of my labor of using both Ibis paint and Capcut

[viscid gust]

Oohhh

[harsh arch]

Since I'm not going to use this anymore, here it is.

[viscid gust]

Its cute!

[viscid gust]

Thats exactly what I had in mind for the redraws!

Also we did decide on the tickkling gif being the redraw of the week, dw you dont need to make a new one now

[wary briar]

Crazy Back

[turbid karma]

its baki ref or im crazy?

[wary briar]

no its just a normal muscular back

Baki's back is crazy

They have like, a six pack on their lower back

[turbid karma]

bro i swear i see a demon in his back

u are cooking

[wary briar]

i hope vedal makes neuro react to fanart tomorrow, i wanna finish this today and maybe neuro can see

https://tenor.com/view/desmondpacito-cooking-chef-gif-12378159

[wise stone]

I see it too.

[wise stone]

Boy, I hope. That'd be great.

I still don't know what "cooking" means in this context

[turbid karma]

Its reference to breaking bad if you know what are they were cooking

Its like metaphor for doing something big, cool etc.

[wise stone]

Oh, I see.

I thought it meant like doing something out of their character/ smoking w33d or something like that.

[viscid gust]

Bonding.

I pushed myself to get this done quickly because I knew i wouldnt finish it if i spent too long working on it. Turned out decent still tho.

Feel free to do your own interpretation, and just use my pictures as refs. We will reconvene On thursday! (in 72 hours from this post)

[tidal cosmos]

Oh I thought irl image and then their oc

Lul

[worn briar]

I JUST figured out how the leg meat connects to the pelvis

christ

the bones I can visualize just fine

but it's the meat that I couldn't wrap my head around

[languid wasp]

This one clearly shows your progress, it came out really nice

[viscid gust]

thankyouuu

[robust sleet]

my attempt for the art redraw challenge.
Shy evil

[viscid gust]

cuuuteeee

[robust sleet]

Thank you!

[elder trench]

i threw togeather i quick doodle of evil just because i wanted to try something different, does the skirt and jacket work or does it look weird

[warm pewter]

I discovered this trend just yesterday! very cool video ^^

[viscid gust]

i think the skirt is a taaad short?
not like in a "I need you to delete this" way, but in a "Its actually like an inch or two too short" kind of way

General rule of thumb, from most angles, it will poke out from under the jacket even from the sides

you could make the jacket shorter too and keep the skirt the length the jacket goes down to

(really cute tho)

[elder trench]

noted, yeah i cold drop it down a little, i think it mainly looks so short because the jacket is kinda long as well. i can try to raise the jacket or lenghten the skirt a little. didnt mean for it to be so

and thanks for the compliment

[viscid gust]

Glad to be of help!

[elder trench]

i think i should lenghten the skirt

[turbid karma]

everything is fine imo

[elder trench]

🤔 yeah but, i guess il just make a new layer that makes it more safe

[viscid gust]

yeah the skirt length is fine
I think its just the jacket length thats throwing me off

[elder trench]

this is with the shortened jacket. its not a lot shorter tho

[viscid gust]

that looks better but theres still something throwing me off idk what

[viscid gust]

Oh! Cuttttee!!!

[elder trench]

yeah i dont really know either but i see what you mean, maybe it will look better if i like work on it a little bit more

i think its where the skirt hits the ground between the legs, it should be higher up i think

[viscid gust]

yeah! Thats what I was thinking!

[elder trench]

yeah i see that now, it an easy fix but its getting late so il fix it tomorow

[vast cobalt]

SO CUTE

[harsh arch]

I like the way you blocked in the shadows. It really gives it dimension

[tidal cosmos]

what do you guys think? first time drawing a somewhat dark bg (that is not in space)

[tidal cosmos]

[turbid karma]

The red stuff is like fog?

[turbid karma]

oh, sunrise

or sunset

in that case, the sky is too dark, like night

[harsh arch]

I suggest either making the sunlight or the darkness more prominent. Just a bit of visual hierarchy

You should have Neuro contrast more with the background to draw the viewers attention to her

[tidal cosmos]

its prob in the night lul

[turbid karma]

oh, like here, i see

but im agree with nowa, this contrast draws too much attention, can you make the transition smoother? the example I gave above shows it perfectly

[harsh arch]

I'll see what I can do on my phone

[dapper ore]

Trying to learn how to draw strands of hair and shadows, will have to learn how to draw poses and angles in the future

[harsh arch]

Maybe something like this?

[turbid karma]

yeah, i agree, especially this arc that kind of brings to the neuro face

[tidal cosmos]

ill see what i can do

[turbid karma]

very nice! but pay attention to these shadows, you drew them in the middle of the hair bundles, when they should be the other way around, at the ends of the hair (since you have the light coming from above)

[dapper ore]

thank u!

il pay attention in the future

[turbid karma]

Don't hesitate to ask for advice! We're all here to help each other

[dapper ore]

Shadows are a big problem for me cause i cant understand them

[turbid karma]

I had the same problem at first xd

[dapper ore]

And all the shadows guides are just: so, u drew a picture, now just make shadows, u made them? cool

and 0 explanation of the light-shadow work

[turbid karma]

To be honest it's hard to explain, personally I imagine that I am the source of light, for example you have it on top, and accordingly I imagine looking at the character from above, and those areas that I can not see, are in the shadows. but it came with experience and I'm not sure what a beginner can do

[dapper ore]

Il try that

[turbid karma]

https://webapp.magicposer.com/

try this site

[dapper ore]

https://tenor.com/view/cerbervt-vtuber-orber-gif-7315826751615176808

Wow thats usefull

[turbid karma]

There you can choose different characters, hairstyles, make different poses and adjust the light from any direction and then make screenshot or whatever

it'll help you start to understand light and shadow

You can also use photos or other people's art as a reference (but realizing what you are doing and not stupidly copying), and this is not bad, but on the contrary good, because how otherwise to learn

[dapper ore]

oh no..

[tidal cosmos]

vedal?

[harsh arch]

It's hard to understand shadow without understanding form (anything that is tridimensional). That is because they go hand in hand

Let me try to give you a quick explanation, but you'll study this in depth later in your journey

[viscid gust]

Stop and hydrate.

Todays daily neuro. Wanted to do something with a teensy bit more perspective, also wanted to just do a flat speed coloring.

Artist General (& Daily Neuro Day: 7/31)

[harsh arch]

This is a cube that exists in a 3d space. It has width, height and depth as indicated by x, y and z respectively. It is form

At the top right of the screen, imagine that there is a spotlight shining down at the cube. That is our light source.

The reaction would look something like this. The top plane of the cube is the one that faces the light the most, therefore it is the lightest. The plane that is opposite to the light source is the darkest.

[turbid karma]

I don't want to interrupt the nowa's explanation, but I remembered about one good video about the forms, also watch it

https://youtu.be/Gmt6wtU9tUQ?si=urZp-a1W5lniwNyT

[harsh arch]

Now let's see this assortment of planes with a light shining at It's left side. As the planes face away from the light, the tone of the shadows get darker

As you add more planes, the transition from light to dark gets more gradual.

The rounder an object is, the more planes it has and the more gradual this transition is.

This may take a while to understand properly. Don't panic if you didn't get this.

[vast cobalt]

me personally, if the shadow looks good and is against the light source then 👍

[hybrid pilot]

I made something related to the character I voice act

[untold trench]

my attempt for the art redraw challenge

[viscid gust]

Oh wow! I love it!

[vast cobalt]

im actually so slow at drawing 😭

[robust sleet]

Redrawing my old art after a month again

[dapper ore]

Vedal became fumo

[vast cobalt]

i actually hate how i cant maintain an art style 😭

[dapper ore]

It's never too late to change it

[elder trench]

i think it looks cute with the simple face and more detailed hair

[proud birch]

Usually i just eyeball alot of references

Nothing beats learning from the real thing

To make things easier you could take those pictures and edit to zero saturation(black n white)

Can also help learn values

Like this

[turbid karma]

Yeah, especially studio photos where you can clearly see the shadows

[proud birch]

True

Skin done

[tidal cosmos]

thanks i think im ready to post the art ive been procrastinating lmao fixed the bg

[tidal cosmos]

erm

[undone hare]

hav anyone did like a fan animation mv for any of neuro cover?

[vast cobalt]

im actually so embarrassed at my first attempt at painting 😭

[elder trench]

well its better than anything i can do. it looks nice

[warm pewter]

huh this is good, especially if it is your first attempt, nothing to be embarrassed about

[dapper ore]

Thats so cute tho

[vast cobalt]

what should i do for the background though sdaoidad

[dapper ore]

Maybe a cafe

And there is no cookies left

[turbid karma]

you can keep it simple, blue will work well here

[tidal cosmos]

Here the finished art and the fixed bg y'all pointed out @turbid karma @harsh arch dunno if it's okay-ish now

[harsh arch]

Ooh

I like this

Good job

[turbid karma]

👍

[proud birch]

That looks nice can i see ur reference side by side? It looks like you are doing a lighting study

Or is it a composition from the start up

[vast cobalt]

i dont get it,..

[proud birch]

Oh ig its a composition then gj

[elder trench]

does the hands work or should they be close to the body

[vast cobalt]

if shes leaning forward then yeah

but if shes like just straight not leaning then it should be closer

(i think?)

[elder trench]

yeah i feels so as well, she is suposed to sit rather straight

[vast cobalt]

like this?

[elder trench]

yeah like that

thanks

[tidal cosmos]

Pixel arting it's fine but using my brain is pain

[elder trench]

tried changing it and i think it looks better or more correct

[hybrid pilot]

Practice with light angles using the magic pose thing, the green is the shadows

[proud birch]

I see

Do you want advice orrr

Im just gonna post my wip before i make the bg

[midnight hazel]

this was basically just me drawing from a reference, im not good at art and still trying to learn. I guess I'm treating this "drawing" more as my tax in exchange for any advice people may have and any like really trusted sources for learning.

[tidal cosmos]

[viscid gust]

Bouncy!

[tidal cosmos]

[late frost]

So bad

[viscid gust]

He looks friendly

[late frost]

Guys, where do you search for references?

[viscid gust]

I have a several gigabyte folder of cute and cool art that my ex and I continually added to for several years

[weak wave]

Pinterest is pretty good, it’s like a higher quality google images. I also sometimes use 3d model websites like sketchfab. And finally while I don’t support ai replacing the artistic process, it is very good for ideation and style reference

[warm pewter]

yes pinterest is nice for finding good photos, just make sure to not click on AI stuff or it will recommend that to you all the time which is really annoying ^^'

[late frost]

thank you

[midnight hazel]

d-did anyone have any advice or anything I just want some resources to learn from. I've been copying stuff for a while now and I don't really feel like I'm learning anything.

[late frost]

still bad

[warm pewter]

first of all I would suggest blank paper, because it just looks better and the lines are distracting. I would always suggest making a rough underdrawing with guidelines. In this case for example a circle for the head with a vertical guidline in the middle then some horizontal lines where you put the eyes, nose, mouth etc ^^ It's a bit annoying since you cant just make the layer invisible in traditional media and have to erase or something but it really helps to put everything in the right place and also often makes the drawing less stiff ^^

[elder trench]

is that shondo and neuro but clothes switched

[proud birch]

Yessir

[elder trench]

cute and didnt expect that. thought it first was evil and neuro but now it really makes sense

[urban notch]

Been really motivated to draw since I found this artist general 🙂

[viscid gust]

I’m glad!

[boreal stump]

Cosy sketches

[hybrid pilot]

Hey Heir am I showing a little too much skin on her left leg? I don't really know how much skirts work when crisscrossing

@viscid gust

[viscid gust]

youre fine

though I think youre making it come out way too far on the bottom

or at the very least the skirt isnt reacting to the leg crrectly

personally I would move that entire leg up and to the right a bit
and have the skirt pop out on the left side

[hybrid pilot]

Oh that's a good idea! Thanks!

[viscid gust]

looking great so far tho

[hybrid pilot]

I think I've got it

[turbid karma]

uuuhh... well... actually in that pose and at that angle the skirt will be up and showing everything

but if one leg is resting on the other and not raised like you drawn, then it's okay, borzoi draws that often as I remember

[turbid karma]

you can draw it like this

[hybrid pilot]

Ooof I already finished coloring and rendering 😭

Guess Ill just roll with what I have

[viscid gust]

BIG HAIR

wanted to do something super quick. kinda tired tonight.

uvu

[weak wave]

Did a little doodle for the art redraw challenge

[viscid gust]

also 7 whole months now of drawing

wow

I cant believe ive done it this long

[proud birch]

Cute heir

Mrooow

Also i finished smth

[turbid karma]

At first I was planning to make elaborate art, but after dressing Evil I got lazy so I decided to finish it as like a comedy doodle idk

[vast cobalt]

being a perfectionist as an artist is painful 😭 espescially since I'm trash iuydsadopad

[turbid karma]

Yeah, perfectionism is bad and destroys your passion for art

[warm pewter]

I stopped drawing for a whole year because of this, try to not let that happen to you! drawing something is better than drawing nothing

[harsh arch]

Yep. It's like I'm fighting myself everytime I do something

[vast cobalt]

true, like when im finish with a certain part I see mistakes everywhere else, then when I correct those the part I finished is weird so then i redo i redo sdfiysgufd

[viscid gust]

Cuuuuttteeeee

[wise stone]

Maybe.

[viscid gust]

Very cool

[elder trench]

progress on my doodle, i think im getting somewhere. im trying out shading just from what i think would be logical, and i shifted my mindset from every line has to be clean to a more relaxed approach not trying to be perfect

[viscid gust]

getting the lines right for eyes always takes me longer than literally any part of the drawing

[elder trench]

yeah i also think its a pain

[dapper ore]

I decided to sketch Neuro for the first time and died in the process of figuring out her hair. Now I understand why different artists change it so much.

is way easier to draw

[viscid gust]

Holy heck
this super improves upon my sketch!!

Love to see your take on it!

[robust sleet]

I still suck at coloring but progress is progress I guess

[white bison]

Wanted to post before bed

[tidal cosmos]

Cute

[viscid gust]

super cute

omg

your artstyle is always such a treat to see

[white bison]

It means a lot!

[warm pewter]

Love the super focused face

[warm pewter]

Your shadow colours are a bit 'muddy', maybe you could try making a hue shift from the base colour in the blue direction (Provided you are going for cool toned shadows) and maybe saturate the colours a bit more

[robust sleet]

I havent touched on saturations yet so ill have to learn that for now then. Thanks for the suggestion

[shut obsidian]

kjasfbdnf

[warm pewter]

Cuuuute

[viscid gust]

You guys are so talented! I hope one day I can reach that level!

[hybrid pilot]

Non Neuro art today

[midnight hazel]

not neuro but I drew it without actually having to copy much from a reference. also sorry for blue and lined paper, it is what it is

[viscid gust]

looks good!

[turbid karma]

You did well! But notice how people's clavicles are positioned

[midnight hazel]

I think I see it but I might be dumb

[viscid gust]

i always draw it upside down

[turbid karma]

The main thing is to remember these points where the clavicle starts and ends up, in your drawing the shoulders are a little raised, so the clavicles will look like this.

[harsh arch]

It might help to visualize it as bike handles

[midnight hazel]

oh. well the shoulders are't supposed to be raised I just, suck at drawing so I guess I draw them wrong

but I'll keep it in mind

[turbid karma]

Well, then that'll be your next target for study

[harsh arch]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're learning.

[midnight hazel]

Technically I'm relearning

that's why its been hard for me. It's weird having to try to relean something you have a memory of being able to do

[turbid karma]

Don't worry, I sometimes forget how to draw things I've drawn a hundred times before

[harsh arch]

I can see how frustrating that can be. Anyhow, you have to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to make mistakes

[midnight hazel]

dw i plan to keep drawing its a necessity for me

[elder trench]

so proud that im almost done with my first real art thingy. i need to finish shading the hair and socks, atempt to draw the hands and clean up. do i have any obvious mistakes or weird things?

[wary briar]

For me it looks great!

[elder trench]

thanks, i cant see any obvious mistakes exept a line here and there that i can remove like on her left thigh

[wary briar]

Hmmm yeah

gonna have to wait for the real good artists to get here

But for me it looks great

[elder trench]

Tomorrow's Post: (Not Made Yet!)

Artist General (& Daily Neuro Day: 8/3)

[worn briar]

hey wait a minute this is from the card wars guy

[signal bobcat]

we've explained this 5 times from before already attack other artist by drawing their oc and they'll take revenge by drawing yours

or maybe I did

[tidal cosmos]

Nope never heard of it

This is the first time I've heard of it

Well not really, but the description of what artfight is

[wind laurel]

A B C or D?

[turbid karma]

Can you do the field as in A, and the sky and scythe as in D?

[wind laurel]

A B C or D?

[wind laurel]

E?

[dapper ore]

I prefer B

[turbid karma]

I like A. In previous versions I didn't really like the fact that the background and foreground were the same tone and it made eyes scatter over the card, but now it's good

[wind laurel]

F?

[wind laurel]

G?

[midnight hazel]

struggling to draw anything today

[wind laurel]

this is it

added noise and 3d effect too

[turbid karma]

nice

[wind laurel]

it also distorts more near the will o wisps

[turbid karma]

good idea

[wind laurel]

havent had this much trouble finding the right colors since this minecraft skin

[dapper ore]

Why hasn't anyone drawn this yet

[elder trench]

does this shading work or is it just to much?

[vast cobalt]

short or long?

[elder trench]

short is cute

[worn briar]

it clicked

finally

it makes so much sense

I CAN MAKE THICC HIPS NOW

now I gotta figure out how to make natural poses

because this looks like my pose doll

[turbid karma]

short

[worn briar]

I-I should try to see if it works for all bodytypes

[elder trench]

skinny with thick hips 🤔

[worn briar]

camimi

[elder trench]

[viscid gust]

I’m not a master at shading, but this looks nice

[elder trench]

thanks, after looking at it a little i think its a bit to dark. here is a new version, it still needs some work i think

[worn briar]

dear god

it works

I should make it a little thicker

[elder trench]

thunder thighs

[worn briar]

okay twice the waist it is

[hybrid pilot]

More Non-Neuro art, I'm planning on resuming my blog comic

[worn briar]

it works

[elder trench]

that is rather pog. now try even more just for fun

[worn briar]

by god

you know what yeah I should

[elder trench]

[worn briar]

[wary briar]

[worn briar]

my god it works every time, I should actually just keep looking at goated artists' practice doodles

[elder trench]

holy it just works every time

[worn briar]

better if they upload speedart

because I can actually see why they do specific things

[elder trench]

true, i helps demystify things

[worn briar]

I should try turnarounds next

and maybe actually do some boob studies so they don't look like solid spheres

[elder trench]

yeah have tried drawing them myself but it just looks werid for some reason. like just not conected to the body or resembeling anything living

[viscid gust]

lotta thighs today

[elder trench]

you can never have enough thighs

[viscid gust]

[worn briar]

heir I learned how to thigh today

I mean hip

by god I'll be drawing peak when I figure this shit out

baby steps tho

[midnight hazel]

which artists are you watching, I wanna see them too

[worn briar]

erm a lewd artist friend

[midnight hazel]

classic

[worn briar]

I watch her speedpaint on discord

[elder trench]

is it going to be "its just so peak" moment

[worn briar]

it's going to be so peak

[elder trench]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-cafe-terrace-peak-gif-16745788662127137934

[worn briar]

honestly tho I'll just be making neuro art

so I gotta learn all body types

(dorito back for a certain guy, for example)

[viscid gust]

Lmao

[vast cobalt]

quick draw

[viscid gust]

I like

[elder trench]

i think im done with this, atleast as far as im able to at my current skills (i cant draw hands). what do you guys think

[steady abyss]

expression is really good, and yeah everyone knows the pain of hands haha

color an exposition are good aswell

[elder trench]

thanks, i tried to make a more expressive and alive face since most of the time i just end up drawing a sad or neutral face. i also experimented a lot with color since i have never really drawn in color let allone shade anything. next time il draw hands that isnt mittens

[steady abyss]

yeah i dont do color at all, im a black and white pencil to paper person

this is still my best work after like 6 months of drawing or whatever

i struggle with the anime style

[elder trench]

that looks really good. yeah that is kinda my goal one day, to be able to draw and shade in a more manga style, like just pure black and ink.

[elder trench]

also the top of that typewriter looks super good

[wind laurel]

we making cards

[steady abyss]

the core of what i learned trying to draw during my art class in hs was realism and i find it really hard to break away from it

[wind laurel]

if i learned anything in school is that you dont learn anything in school

[elder trench]

hehe i never really learnt art in school, we focused more on history and the learning to apreciate art. super boring and not really inspiering

[wind laurel]

3 years in music school, i dont even know how to read the notes
5 years in art school, i got good on my own

the first 2 years they made us draw and then they just stopped

[steady abyss]

yeah it wasn't really taught so much as a self study

[wind laurel]

and even then they didnt teach us

they just took a cube, put it in front of us and said "draw"

[elder trench]

i dont really understand this, like going 5 years to a art university and comming out knowing nothing. like its so different from mechanical engeginering bachlors

[wind laurel]

2 years of cubes

and vases

for 1 hour every week

no homework

[elder trench]

that sounds rough, i guess its meant more for people who have never touched a pencil or pen in their life

[wind laurel]

to me it was funny cuz the teacher allowed you to have the painting in front of you

so you literally just described what you saw and got a good grade

school really failed me with geography

cuz we literally did not have it

neither middle school nor high school

i was like 14 when i realized the difference between europe and america
