okay new atempt new t-shirt. i think i did better this time. folds are more correct creeses with tention and folds from overlapping clothes, moved the shoulders more inn so that it fits on the body etc.
does it look right, can i do anything to make it better etc

evilGiggle heheh thx

Lmao is that the story guy

#

I keep seeing him for some reason in my feed.

elder trench
#

have never seen him

sturdy apex

I saw one like.

HOLD UP, IS (some artist) DRAWINGS ARE THIS FIRE??

#

I like the rendering though.

#

I couldn't render like that even if it was for my life.

elder trench

#

Yeah

#

Who else.

elder trench

i guess. well thanks i apreciate it despite the sketch being rather rough

Overall it looks good though.

HMMMM feeling rather hollow today are we

#

after this halloween event we need to make this Artist General a real channel and not just a forum page

#

Erm

elder trench
#

i kinda agree

wary briar
#

i had to guide Terrento here, he didn't even know this forum existed

elder trench
#

PepeLaugh thats is deffenelty a rather large issue. that it is kinda hidden

midnight hazel
#

I really need to get out of my own head. I'm literally stopping myself from drawing because I can't stop fucking with myself and making myself feel bad. Obsessing over whether what I'm doing will actually lead to improvement and shit. And yeah, I want to improve. but I feel like I'm just getting in my own way right now instead of having any legitimate concern. PainChamp

elder trench
#

its okay, improvement is nice but it isnt everything

turbid karma
#

I changed the shades on the T-shirt a little bit and the colors of the shadows

elder trench
#

i realy like what you did here. will defenently take a look at this when shading and stuff

turbid karma

and added some highlights

it takes really long to improve at art and often it feels like youre making zero progress

evilHypers yay

#

thanks

tall trench
#

Has anyone here drawn first person?

tiny hinge
#

I use those feelings of "I'm not improving" or "this isn't good enough" and use that to empower myself to draw more. I'm not gonna let me get myself down

#

I hate that guy

tiny hinge
midnight hazel
#

anything I draw that looks remotely ok just feels like an accident that I can't replicate. It's all accidental. There's 0 consistency

tiny hinge
#

mm.. do you use any references or are you just making things straight from scratch? I still can't make anything without having a reference of some sort

midnight hazel
#

I use references

#

the irony is that the only semi-good things I've drawn recently were jsut accidents without any references

#

like the inconsistency is infuriating. hence why I don't feel like I'm improving or learning, I just feel like I'm accidentally getting something that looks good and then it makes me feel worse because I can't do it again

tiny hinge
#

felt that.

elder trench
midnight hazel
#

I try to focus on small things recently. like only drawing eyes, only drawing hands etc. Just anything where its a small replicable task but still, doesn't feel like I'm internalizing anything.

#

I can't even draw the same fucking eye twice. Every time its different

elder trench
#

here is a trick, ctrl+c for eyes and then use transform to swosh it about to make it fir the perspective or be visually different

midnight hazel
#

I'm pen and paper

tiny hinge
#

when I started, drawings looked like what a 5 year old would draw (not joking). Time and dedication, deducing what needs improvement and capitalizing on the good aspects. Those are things I feel help out. No one is ever as harsh on your art as yourself

midnight hazel
#

I just almost wish the accidents wouldn't happen

#

I'd rather be consistently shit

#

the accidents give me a false impression that I'm getting better that then deflates into a huge feeling of "why can't I do it again"

elder trench
# midnight hazel I'm pen and paper

take a photo import into photoshop do what i just said. print it out again and glue it onto the paper. jk
traditional art is hard, there is a reason i do digital. you have my utmost respect and your probabbly better than i will ever be when drawing on paper

tiny hinge
#

🗣️

#

The fact you have these frustrations just goes to show the passion you have for drawing. You'll get it

midnight hazel
#

I guess

tiny hinge
#

It takes time. Rome wasn't built in a day, gotta remind yourself that every once in a while.

#

Maybe I actually have education trauma or some shit idk ICANT I'm thinking on it now and it's like, I'm getting in my head that I'll show my progress to someone in a year and they will tell me "You fucking idiot you've wasted a year of your life you've been learning wrong this entire time"

tiny hinge
sturdy apex
#

I can't also improve for some reason. Tried many times to improve but mostly nothing came of it.

#

I just said
Screw it. I'ma do my own thing.

#

Which is this.

tiny hinge
elder trench
tiny hinge
#

the accidents you mentioned may not be as accidental as you think. I did that a few times early on, like "I didn't mean to do that" but it was different, new.

#

its you though, all you.

#

I'd be happy to help out anyone that wants pointers though. Learning with others makes it easier too

midnight hazel
#

I would appreciate that.

#

Maybe I'm putting too much on myself as well idk. I only have myself to blame for that though. I procrastinated my life away like an idiot and I'm now trying to make amends in my late 20s Oldge

cerulean mountain
#

im rooting for you!

midnight hazel
#

this is what you get when you tell yourself "nah bro, I'll start writing that book next year" and then it's 10 years later

#

don't fucking do it

#

its not worth it

cerulean mountain

#

this is the same thing as saying "il start training and eating healthy, on monday" come moday and nothing happens

turbid karma
#

Yeah, I can see that you studied the folds and they turned out well, that's why I didn't change them at all

#

when you think you're done with the folds and shadows level, I'd recommend a little color theory (eww)

i believe the saying goes "the best time to start was 10 years ago, the second best time is now"

and i believe youve started, so youre on the right path

I mean I do subscribe to that. I guess it's just the anxiety that is getting to me. And I've lived with that all my life so idk

Fusion take

tall trench

#

I thought of the last one as evil being more dominant. I'm also thinkin of an opposite.

#

This one I'd like to think more into heavy attacks than fast harpoon ones.

sturdy apex
#

Well good enough ww

tall trench
#

What's the fusion?

sturdy apex
#

Neuro dominant sorta thing

#

Last one. This is just both of em being neutral.

tall trench
sturdy apex
#

Oh it's basically a db thing. Kinda

#

Despite being the same, the others personality is more showing than the other

#

In this case.

The first art I did is Evils side being more prominent.

The second one is Neuros side being more prominent.

I'm with it.

#

Idk what y'all talking about but ig im fourthing it

crystal juniper
#

maybe

midnight hazel
#

I concur

#

I don't really have anywhere else to talk about art stuff and doing it on your own sucks, so having a consistent place to discuss stuff with loads of other people doing the same thing is nice

#

but I also don't feel comfortable joining a full on art server

#

this community is like the perfect compromise

crystal juniper
#

as of why I'm not 100% sure if it's good idea is that currently this is kind of like on alley... it's there for people who seek it and don't get much spam

#

but hey, maybe it would be fine

tall trench
#

So gatekeep it?

#

Jk. I can see your point. If it were to happen, maybe on off-topic alongside #gaming

cerulean mountain
#

it would be cool to see an artist gen chat!

crystal juniper
#

hmm... thinking about it art channel is kind of niche so this is quite a concentration of people posting here in that sense... like people that consider themselves as artists like drawing art isn't most of the population

#

so I think it would still be fine to be more at the front

#

ugh kind of tired so not making my point most elegantly but... it's about keeping things moderated really end of the day

steady abyss
#

I think that art should get its own channel, there's Semi-frequent art contests here and it would draw more people to actually doing it i think if they actually had a proper channel

#

not to mention heir has been pushing for it for a long time

turbid karma
tiny hinge
#

Unfortunately

#

Even though the rules explicitly say no nsfw

turbid karma
#

so it will take a little more than the solo Heir moderation to create a channel, but it still seems worth it to me

tiny hinge
#

Indubitably 🧐

weak wave
#

yeah i think having a separate channel would be nice. artist general is by far the largest forum post

#

though it might be a little confusing with both an art forum and an art discussion channel

cerulean mountain
#

i don't think we would need an art forum if we had an art channel

cerulean mountain
#

ohh why would that be confusing?

#

one for chatting, one for posting?

#

like this forum and that

turbid karma
#

yeah, I don't think it will be confusing either, if you go to the art forum it's clear that it's purely for posting art

weak wave
#

oh i guess that makes sense

turbid karma
#

NN and genchat more confusing xd

What are you guys' processes for doing face and body guidelines or whatever it's called. I've been trying to adopt one for heads to make them more consistent but I'm really struggling. It was unironically easier for me to just wing them without guidelines and just try to get the shape to look right but the results are really 2 dimensional looking and I feel like I'm forming a bad habit by doing it.

I'm still learning body but you can grasp an initial idea from tracing real life models on Pinterest and dividing the body into subsections.

midnight hazel
#

maybe I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing with it

tall trench
#

This method revolves around making sure you're dividing the head into face and sides.

midnight hazel
#

its not really the problem I have with it. it's more I don't feel like I have any control over it. I try to draw the guidelines and then when I actually fill it all in the face is not what I was trying to do at all

I mean it's what I assumed. Lol

#

Sorry but I don't understand your troubles then.

midnight hazel
#

It's more I try to say, make a face that is facing up and left or something, and then I follow the guidelines I draw and it ends up just kinda facing a bit left at most

tall trench
#

Hm. Do you often flip the canvas? Could also be a problem with perspective...

The best way to flip it is to take a picture of it then flip the pic :forsenOkay:

#

Here was the last time I tried practicing some before I got really ill recently. They might look ok but none of them were like, what I was going for. I probably should've tried filling in the details just for practice but w/e.

tall trench
#

Is your goal the 3/4 angle?

midnight hazel
#

Kinda.

#

I've been stuck in the trap of just doing front facing/side facing characters because the shape is easy

tall trench
#

Try to force yourself more extreme angles.

#

But not too extreme.

turbid karma
tall trench
#

Like completely looking by the side.

#

Or just slightly angled from the front.

#

If you're feeling saucy, do a from below angle neuroLookUp

midnight hazel
#

I guess I'll just try that and keep working at it when I feel better

weak wave
#

At the lower angle the nose will cover the eyes a bit

#

You can see this even more clearly in a 3d model

midnight hazel
#

I completely missed the target on that one huh LULE

weak wave
#

Yeah a lot of the times the nose bridge will cover part of the eyes

#

Since it sticks out furthest

wary briar
#

Ganev has INCREDIBLE tutorials too if you wanna check him out, i reaaally recommend

#

of all the hundreds and hundreds of art tutorials, his are 10/10

#

watching him also made me realize that trying to learn art from 50 different people is a waste of time, is better for you to pick 1 person that could be your sensei and watch every video and tutorial that they have, try to learn as much as possible from just one person

#

a thing that novice artist do is that they see a bunch of tutorials from different people that say different things for you to do if you wanna learn how to draw, and them they end up more confused

harsh arch
#

But, you see, many tutorials on the internet are just explaining the same fundamentals in different ways. With that out of the day, I do agree that sticking to one voice is more helpful initially, since it's more consistent and prevents you from getting lost

wary briar
#

I remember my first time really trying to learn how to draw, i remember searching how to do anime heads, and hundreds of tutorials later i felt like my brain was gonna explode

well it is 90 layers and its quite tiersome to look for the one contraining the eyes when im doing shading

but honestly my drawings average around that range nowadays

i have shed layers now, now i only have 43

my contest entry has 125 it seems

i dont really find it time consuming

i just make a new layer when i feel i need one

yeah... thus such system that could just use imagination as tempalte for an drawing would be way more convenient lol... I took it as you meaning your drawing is better than what you see in your head... but since you mean imagining actual drawing process in head exactly... yeah that's something much harder to sustain... it takes focus to have imagined scene not break up

The best way to get more following in social media, if that's what you seek, is to make fanart or follow hashtags.

And while I do like the sound of that, I'm going to do the exact opposite: make OCs. Lel

And draw some Neuros on the side

Then you bought the Gura costume? :LULE:

I don't know much about the Robux stock

Robux is pretty expensive yeah but developers and like outfit creators get like millions of it

Just buy a glove and cut out that part :LULE:

i bought one just because i hate the ones you get packaged with the tablet. also im left handed so they dont fit me properly and my hands are small

i love it tho, dont regrett the price at all

being left handed is sometimes a pain

tbf i do use the glove to play osu

i can see that if you use like a tablet to play

crimson comet

i do

and always since the start

been playing for 3 years and the glove is a must

that is my only exposure to osu tho

had it for 3 years

im not changing

well if it works it works

and i prob gonna buy the same model next time

literally just because my pen grip for osu relies on the huion pen design

dont they use the same roughly the same pendesign for all their teblets

crimson comet

idk

#

i meant the slight dip on the main shaft

elder trench

like this one

What's scuffed about it?

elder trench

just scratchy and worn i think

versed bridge

I see

elder trench

my tablet is a tiny bit scuffed as it has a non vissible but noticable scratch in the glass. dont know how that happened

versed bridge
#

I mean, it doesn't affect too much right?

elder trench
#

not the slightest, ist just wears my nib a little bit faster and i kinda anoying once i nocitce it in a drawing

versed bridge
#

Didn't know pen nib can ran out

elder trench
#

it most certanly can, ist just a piece of plastic. drag it across glass long enough and it will wear down eventually

they are kinda cheap tho

was upscrolled to earlier discussion about getting following on social media by drawing OC instead fanart and how it's much harder... that's true on twitter but once you get ball rolling then you can pretty much draw what you want mixed with some fanart...

personally I have noticed that as I draw better it's force multiplier or whatever you could call it... people notice I have been improving

proud birch
#

Funny how details are basically just adding more shades of gray

crystal juniper
elder trench
proud birch
#

Yeah

elder trench
proud birch
#

Aleight lemme try adding one red layer

elder trench
#

ohhh

crystal juniper
#

greyscale makes such a good foundation before color even digitally... you can then just color it later on and shading is already done... so you have quite quick color version too XD I have tried it a few times as approach

proud birch
#

Now this is the armor color

proud birch
elder trench
versed bridge
#

NIce

crystal juniper
#

I ended up finding with my attempts they looked so cool in greyscale but quick coloring of course had that shading make it look very dull colored... but that can be fixed with more editing... still, yeah... I prefer to just color and shade it instead... and indeed then you can just turn it quick greyscale afterwards too if you want to... true

elder trench
#

i want to learn gray colouring first because it should help with values or whatever, like keeping it consistent with not to much high contrast

cerulean mountain
#

greyscaling is good if you don't wanna manage colour

elder trench
cerulean mountain
#

very conveinent for complex pieces, also lets you define areas of high contrast and where you want the focus of the piece to go

elder trench
#

isee

crystal juniper
#

well it's kind of like greyscale height map or something but for light... so I kind of get why it's advice people would give

#

mentally figuring out where lightsources are and make areas darker that would be hit by less light... and some artistic meddling

cerulean mountain
#

yep! normally you either work from light to dark or dark to light, but... i haven't figured out how to combine certain saturations of colours as certain values while greyscaling so i just directly colour neuroErm

elder trench
#

havent experimented to much with how i colour my doodles, so its kinda been just whatever first commes to mind which is slapping on base colour and taking it from there. but i feel like method at my cutent skillevel leaves a lot to be desired

cerulean mountain
#

if you do experiment, knowing what you want would be very handy. like, looking at artists you life and studying and learning from them, tends to save a lot of time and doesn't leave you on the trial/ error stage too much

#

not that i would know too much lmaoo, i just do what i can w the time i have

#

so i am no pro by any means, tldr

proud birch
cerulean mountain
proud birch
#

Combining the umm saturations of colors while greysvaling

cerulean mountain
#

i like using slightly contrasting colours/ warm colours for shading. if i did my piece greyscale first, then coloured it, the darkened parts wouldn't be as warm as i would like them to be. also, contrasting colours sometimes have very similar values. at the end my pieces when working normally may work properly if shown on a greyscale, ie dark and light, buuut i wouldn't know how to get there if i did a grey scale at the start

#

idk if that makes sense

proud birch

Ohh i see

cerulean mountain

versed bridge
#

I see

cerulean mountain
proud birch
#

Honestly

cerulean mountain
#

multiply, overlay, etc etc

bleak agate
cerulean mountain
turbid karma
#

because it is impossible to fully make normal colors after grayscale, only the basic ton

cerulean mountain
#

i don't think that is true, i know there is a way, pro artists do it

turbid karma
#

and then you either choose the colors you want on top with the normal layer or experiment with other layer modes

turbid karma
proud birch
#

honestly you can just burn the hell out of all the colors

cerulean mountain
turbid karma
#

You can use a gradient map, but it's likely to violate your values

cerulean mountain
#

i have

#

it sucks

#

it doesn't look like how i want it to look, i legit gave up

#

i did another piece w/o greyscaling and that worked, and im still working on it but it worked. i reallly have to study more ICANT

proud birch
#

I honestly dont know how to call the techniques i know so its very hard to explain it

crystal juniper
#

my intuition with lighting is "it looks good" or something... like I don't aim to realistic lighting but somewhere in-between ^^ one big thing was to stop using white to light things so much and start using different colors like yellow especially for it... I have found yellow has worked well

cerulean mountain
#

my art it is literally all yellow neurowheeze

#

there is no magic way to get those colors right after grayscale

#

from pros

proud birch
#

Aaa

#

I usualy adjust my color burn and highlighta after the grayscale

#

But honestly u can do without it

#

Its always the lighter areas that produce more satuaration

cerulean mountain
crystal juniper
#

I'm very much learn by doing type so yeah... just gotta cook art and have eureka moments ^^

elder trench
proud birch
#

Grayscale is like mapping where you would put stuffs

#

For example you can figure out what areas are gonna be dark, the ambients, highlights, midtones and stuff

#

And then after you color it

#

You just polish the colors

#

Currently im puttingbthe gold

#

But i already did the grayscale so i dont need to manually do the highlights and darker gold

it looks so pretty

they are very different from my neuro pieces because they are finished ones... i used a grey scale for the first one and gave up because i couldn't find a right balance but for the second one i just did whatever and i literally love the rough work sm, i am fixing/ altering the position of hands or whatever so they are both wips lmaooo

Ah, I see.

Personally, I don't mind pineapple on pizza.

i wouldnt find it ilegal if the pinapple was room temp out of the oven. but its not and if you bite into a slice with pinaple under the cheese you get a 100degree surpruise.
