rn it is just some random ass pic i took in 2018

[wary briar]

kyuute!

[crystal juniper]

I have been doing that... this is third avatar I think... kind of third version of it XD

gotta just get it colored and shaded

[crimson comet]

and should i take @nyupenyuart as a tag instead of@nyuthepenyu

gonna be hell to edit back the links that i put out but at least it does makes sense

[undone hare]

i feel like monday is sweet spot for submitting fanart if u want neuro to show it on stream

[bleak agate]

to do that i need to draw smth first

neuroYareYare

[crystal juniper]

anyway, you should figure out a character that is kind of your mascot or something online... yeah that sounds about right XD

[bleak agate]

idk, i prefer putting ryo yamada on my pfps everywhere

[crystal juniper]

oh I was continuing my earlier reply... as I kind of didn't directly say it was meant as a suggestion heh XD but yeah it's my general advice/suggestion to anyone who's artist I guess

[crystal juniper]

nothing wrong with it ^^

[bleak agate]

RyoPadoru

[crystal juniper]

you're already on christmas btw? ^^

well considering businesses start soon as halloween is over makes sense XD some of them anyway

heck even before it

[bleak agate]

christmas hat was my halloween outfit

mewvil

[crystal juniper]

heh makes me think the nightmare before christmas movie

[wispy storm]

Headless

[versed bridge]

Nice

Can't wait for the final product

[wispy storm]

1 or 2 things will happen either I don't finish it from boredom or forget about it

Or I somehow finish it

[wispy storm]

I fell asleep

Okay I should prob use layers more often...

Why did I make the body 1 layer

Yeah I'm regretting my choices

[proud birch]

Oh yeah

I have 3 layers for lineart, the anatomy, then forms into lineart (longest process) then into clean

If im happy with the cleaning i merge the clean with the lineart

[versed bridge]

Nice

[turbid karma]

[versed bridge]

:forsenOkay: Good art

[wary briar]

[wise stone]

What?

[bleak agate]

thats a lot of stuff for a slight kiss

nice work

[pastel knot]

i have got to properly study how to draw heads

i am sick and tired of struggling with them

[wary briar]

I've been watching Ganev tutorials on drawing heads, simply incredible

There's his website doodlewarrios, and there is 100 lessons, i don't think all of them are for heads but the first 10 are

[pastel knot]

thatd be good

i wanna start from the very bottom up when doing it

really get down to the fundamentals

[wary briar]

https://learn.doodlewarriors.com/lessons/welcome-to-portrait-system/

Lets go, have fun

[pastel knot]

definitely not today

i shoulda been in bed like 45 mins ago

im trying to get this pesky construction phase of my drawing done now so its easy continue tomorrow

[wary briar]

gonna watch the next 5 videos now, i've been slacking all day SMH

And holy shit i think the 100 videos are just for portrait and thats insane

Gonna have to not watch this stream because im a slacker

[tall trench]

[cerulean mountain]

you draw on your phone? damn, you are goated wtf

[proud birch]

Im a couch potato i make everything laying on the couch

Because my back is absolutely destroyed

From phenomenally bad sitting posture

[cerulean mountain]

that is funny, because i do the opposite to not ruin my back

having a drawing pad really forces me to sit on the table to draw

[wary briar]

Damn i talked a lot about this but i just found out that you can only watch the first 5 videos...

https://tenor.com/view/drake-drake-meme-rapper-embarrassing-drake-embarrassing-gif-14154814324941847170

[proud birch]

Oh a drawing tablet?

[cerulean mountain]

yeah, like the ones without screen

it took me a while to get used to it LMAO

[proud birch]

Haha thats true it doea have a pretty steep learning floor i gave up on it after a week

[bleak agate]

I have no clue how people can use drawing pads
Respect

[cerulean mountain]

i gave up for like a year or two, then forced myself to use it for a whole year and now i feel more comfortable w it

a year

[proud birch]

I have good precision on the drawing pad but what frustrated me are the settings and the pressure thing i use a ctl 472

[cerulean mountain]

it took me a year

[proud birch]

Damn thats dedication

[wary briar]

Surely i can learn in like... 2 weeks

[cerulean mountain]

you should try it, the control z part is quicker to get used to and allows more freedom in visual way if you know what i mean

[cerulean mountain]

surely, its different for different people

[proud birch]

Oh interesting

[bleak agate]

To fix my posture i adjusted the angle between my table and the tablet so that i wont need to tilt down for it and i started to actually increasing the drawing to draw little details cause previously i was just getting closer with my face to the screen for that which made me tilt down even more
Anyways now im great and i dont draw like i did on paper
Yahoo

[proud birch]

Ngl my tablet just got old on its own i bought in like 3 years ago now its not functional

4 actually

[bleak agate]

My tablet just turned 1yo last month

[cerulean mountain]

my tablet is almost 4 as well

[proud birch]

Oh damn

[cerulean mountain]

ill have to think twice before i get a screen tablet

[bleak agate]

Ngl i got lucky that i got a tablet in a first place
My mom juts out of nowhere decided to get me one despite me never asking for it

[bleak agate]

Just get ur tablet on like 30° angle to ur table and sit straight

[cerulean mountain]

i do that w my screenless tablet, like sit straight

[bleak agate]

I kept using it like i was still drawing on paper which resulted me to sit in a bad position

Funny

[bleak agate]

I mean yeah, ur just looking at ur main monitor anyways in this case

[cerulean mountain]

ohhh is that why in art anime they always have the tablet at an angle? that would make more sense

[bleak agate]

Yep

Its like uhhh

Drawing on a molbert

Did i type it write

Leme google one sec

Easel

[bleak agate]

I used a russian word there

Whoops

[wary briar]

[cerulean mountain]

its ok

[bleak agate]

Anyways yeah

[wary briar]

frick, i wanna draw but bed is soooo comfy

[bleak agate]

Its like ur a classical painter aka Bob Ross for example
But instead of standing ur just seating

Its also like drawing on a school board

But school board is fully vertical

[cerulean mountain]

oh i have done that, but standing

i get what you mean

[bleak agate]

Same
Im kinda sleeping there but i keep holding my phone in hands for some reason

[bleak agate]

Anyways yeah ur right there

Its a lot comfier to draw at an angle

Why am i talking so confidently i should have zero knowledge about drawing whats however

[cerulean mountain]

dw it makes sense

[proud birch]

Ok shadows done

Im kidding itts not that dark

[bleak agate]

Gonna be a 1am ramble but i sometimes just get uncomfy around other people who like drawing
I never studied drawing and i started drawing only bcs of boredom and i always felt like im gonna abandon it anytime
Anyways not really, i like drawing

[bleak agate]

:MyGoodness:

[proud birch]

Oh lol

[bleak agate]

Its like if noob saibot from mortal kombat cosplayed neuro

Anyways

[proud birch]

Neurogyat

[bleak agate]

Truly

Anyways now i sleep

[proud birch]

Goodnight rez

[bleak agate]

Thanks bro

[pastel knot]

off to an alright start

should be easy to continue from this tomorrow

[warm pewter]

construction looks good so far, best of luck for your piece

[crystal juniper]

"hello there fellow humans"... that crossed to my mind for some strange reason XD

looks good

[tiny hinge]

Anatomy is hard to get right

[undone hare]

buh is this walpaper AI generated? hit me up imma draw u something better

and this multidoobillianair hasnt active windows yet

[versed bridge]

I do love those kind of extreme landscape

[undone hare]

activate

[tiny hinge]

ai making something instantly that would take me weeks is always such a punch in the gut 😭

[versed bridge]

It is what it is

[tiny hinge]

true

[brittle fern]

you know

every time i boot up my tablet i learn something new

for instance

stabilizing tool for outlines

would've made my job so much easier for some of these

man

lesson learned for that

[wispy storm]

#Day 1.5

[versed bridge]

NIce

[wispy storm]

Yes

What colour should evils cape be

[versed bridge]

Purple and red

[wispy storm]

👍

[tall trench]

It is a rule every semi-decent programmer must use unactivated Windows VM on their Linux PC.

And because I'm not semi-decent, I call those people nerds

[wispy storm]

Like this?

[versed bridge]

Cool

:YEP:

[crimson comet]

also good enough size for the names imo

would fit kinda nice

[crimson comet]

finished arranging them all

so many ppl with long ass names bruh

[wise stone]

Nice. I'd suggest to add something like a bag of crisps or fizzy can in the scene to put more life in to it, this is opitional tho. If you have another idea in mind, go nuts.

[crimson comet]

yeah some random shit thrown in there would be nice

also wdy think on the arrangements

is it too compact

[wise stone]

It's fine, it doesn't look too cluster to me.

[crimson comet]

do you have any idea on to fill the top part

im thinking of doing a banner on the right side

the banner in question

[wise stone]

Is this work gonna be the background for the Osu gameplay? If that so, that would be a bit out of place.

[crimson comet]

no

its just for a collab banner

to put on the me! page

gonna look like this

[wise stone]

Ok, I'd suggest to put banner/text in the empty area at the top right corner, because there's an empty space that too noticable.

[crimson comet]

just assume that white box is gone

oh yeah theres prob gonna some ppl joining in last minute

[wise stone]

That's 👍

[crimson comet]

theres 1 dude forgot to submit

so uh where do i put him

maybe here would be better

[wise stone]

you say one is not submitting yet, I'd put 'em at the small space at the top left corner, the empty space-row you marked.

[crimson comet]

there?

[wise stone]

yep

[crimson comet]

oh yeah

safe to assume theres gonna be 3 more blankets

bruh

i left the form out for over a week already

[wise stone]

If there's more, move the banner text to the bottom left of the work, make it small enough to be able to notice the TV while making the text the priority view.
Continue putting blankets at the top right corner marked rows.

[crimson comet]

aite

well now how do i decorate this thing

it does give off an auditorium seating type of vibe

[wise stone]

Hm.. how about sperate them for the row a bit to give and illusion of chaos. Like they decide to sit wherever they want. (I dunno if this pic help)

[crimson comet]

gonna be hell considering i moved them by layers

also the names gonna collide which im not a fan of

[wise stone]

Stuff to decorate in the scene of gathering TV watch along: bag of crisps, soda can, soda bottle, bowl of crisps, DVD/CD cover box, bag of candy/sweets. paper plate, plastic cups.

[wise stone]

Ah, I see. that's gonna be a hassle.

[crimson comet]

i mean i dont mind

but when it comes to moving them on their request is funny to say the least

like where they want their blanket next to

[crystal juniper]

yup... people that just do good freehand lines without any stabilization are out there but it's insane XD you just found about one of fundamentals of digital art

[crimson comet]

i never used it

feels so whack to use tbh

[undone hare]

2 and a half hours

[weak wave]

Actually insane

[crystal juniper]

fair ^^

[undone hare]

i can draw the full chainsaw later if people r interested

[crystal juniper]

my art drawing tends to be somewhat slow even if I really focus to it when I draw a new character without references and plan as I go... even with neuro-sama, evil neuro, vedal, etc when I draw them in my artstyle and tend to have my own fan designs instead of using references of them... sometimes I have just used reference sheet or something though

[versed bridge]

Nice

[wise stone]

Neuro as Chainsaw man!!!

Oh wait, someone already did that.

[untold trench]

4-5 hours

[versed bridge]

Damn

Cute

[untold trench]

gahhhh I forgot to shade the bonnet

I'm going to sleep

[wise stone]

Weet deem, KamaMec

[bleak agate]

[pastel knot]

I think I used up all my brain power at work today

Hope I have enough energy to draw

[wary briar]

download war thunder again and yesterday I spent all day playing

[sturdy apex]

I remember playing that game for hours.

And I lost every single time.

Quite literally insanity.

[wary briar]

I have more than 450 hours in this game

And i am broken

[sturdy apex]

Yeah?

I have 2000

[sturdy apex]

By lost I mostly mean. I fucking suck lmao.

One time It hasn't been 10 seconds and I get killed by a random ass bomb

I do like playing planes tho

[wary briar]

I just like the tanks, really

i have made a strategy, if i put a ":3" face in my tanks i perform better

[sturdy apex]

I go bush mostly.

Cause I can't afford anything else.

Man I miss playing it. Especially on the PS4.

[sturdy apex]

Same. especially when the people inside it can actually be hurt.

And make your tank ultra useless.

(happened to me a bunch of times)

[wary briar]

Ok just gonna play a little bit, then after im going to draw

Just a little bit...

[sturdy apex]

Procrastinating

[wary briar]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meow-silly-cat-cat-explode-yellow-cat-gif-12654556298327310612

[brittle girder]

Hopefully it will end up in an evil drawing like I imagined it but I am too stupid to think in 3d right now

[crystal juniper]

seems fine

[brittle girder]

I'm struggling with the left side of the top, but I'll figure it out tomorrow, hopefully

Actually with the whole top, not sure how to correctly wrap it around the body

[crystal juniper]

I have had fun times practicing backgrounds with some of my drawings... better or worse my approach has been mentally figuring it out roughly that seems right

[brittle fern]

listen, what i've been trying to do, that would've saved me a ton of time if i knew about it before. I'm still trying to figure out my options

i suppose that's my own fault though. a lot of stuff like this i end up learning the hard way

[crystal juniper]

I want my avatar to double as also widescreen art piece so... grumble, grumble... I have to lineart part of the right arm that was outside of frame

[wary briar]

i've been getting a ad that says "What is the difference between the brain of a procrastinator and that of an extremely efficient person?" and its making me sad

They fucking know

They are watching me

[pastel knot]

[wary briar]

Bro i can't, its in every video that i watch

[elder trench]

have you tried addblock?

[wary briar]

I dont have in my phone

And honestly i dont care, its like, 5 seconds ads... so...

[elder trench]

for me that is 5 seconds to much ads

[versed bridge]

How :LULE:

[elder trench]

i dont like ads, simple as

[versed bridge]

I felt like most people on the Internet don't as well :LULE:

Can't even tolerate some :LULE:

[elder trench]

call me a sucker but i pay for youtube premium just to get rid of ads (also youtube music is nice)

[versed bridge]

I see

[pastel knot]

i got adblock on everything

[versed bridge]

A lot of people do

[pastel knot]

even did a little something to get premium and YT music for free on my phone

i think the only time i see ads is on my bus stop on my way to work and home

[elder trench]

how

nerver mind i have an iphone so it prolly wont work

[pastel knot]

yup

[elder trench]

but i have an iphone so it dont matter that i have to pay

[pastel knot]

i prolly woulda eventually started paying for YT premium if they didint start cracking down on ad blockers

now i wont out of pure spite

[versed bridge]

:LULE:

[elder trench]

i feel that

[versed bridge]

It'll probably escalate every further

[pastel knot]

i think google is removing ublock from chrome

so yeah

too bad i use firefox

[elder trench]

i use firefox

[versed bridge]

Soon they'll remove Firefox from Google result :LULE:

[elder trench]

also you aparently can keep ublock on crome throught some way of not updating it and downloading the extentino

[pastel knot]

apparently my ublock has blocked 27 million things

i dont think it blocks just ads

[elder trench]

what do you think china uses, thats right adblock /s

[wary briar]

[pastel knot]

[elder trench]

also no evil today

[versed bridge]

She slept in :LULE:. Neuro has to take over

[pastel knot]

we need no-neuro-november where only evil streams for the entire month

[elder trench]

so true

i would be so happy if we got daily evil for an entire month

[wary briar]

Damn the only interesting stream this week is gone

Now its sunday

[elder trench]

its upsetting

[pastel knot]

full month of no filter + unrestricted internet access evil

[elder trench]

heaven if you ask me. altho evil is probably to shy to swear like a sailor

[wary briar]

Ok now i can actually draw

[elder trench]

[wary briar]

I've been busy all day playing games

[pastel knot]

i think there is some entity who really didnt want me to draw today

[elder trench]

i have taken a break from drawing, decided that i want to focus more on my fundamentals

[pastel knot]

work was tiring and then i burnt the shit out of my finger while making a burger

[elder trench]

rip poor fingie

[pastel knot]

im drawing anyway to piss off this entity

[wary briar]

I practice fundamentals everyday, its fun

[elder trench]

well i havent really practiced fundamentals at all recently. like i dont know anatomy well so i thought i would kinda start from scratch

[wary briar]

Im gonna go for the start to, recently i've been just practicing heads, now its the body

Practicing anatomy is at the very end, first you have to represent the human body as boxes, and little by little you learn to add details, it's like making a sculpture

[elder trench]

its kinda what im thinking of doing, like starting from scratch finding actual tutorials and shit and like do it propperly for once instead of kinda winging stuff and not understanding what im actually doing wrong

i have used clothing and stuff liberally to cover up mistakes in skills

[wary briar]

Im gonna watch from ganev again, although its only the first 5 videos i think i still can learn a lot from him

this is crazy progress

[bleak agate]

cool thighs

[wary briar]

Thanks

Wait what

[versed bridge]

Nice

[pastel knot]

didint get much done today but its something

[warm pewter]

drawing a little bit is better than not drawing

[bleak agate]

neuroNod

[cerulean mountain]

speedpaint

[brittle fern]

same here. I know I could get an adblocker but still feel like helping the people i like to watch out

[turbid karma]

nice colors

[untold trench]

Actually so cool, I want to be as skilled as you one day

[cerulean mountain]

tysm!!! im so surprised to hear that

i hope you'll achieve your art goals

[crystal juniper]

tuned, colored, and shaded

nice to see personal improvement with art

I like yellow nowadays so much it's overtaking my art

[untold trench]

I made it

[crystal juniper]

that art review thing used to crash so I had a few pieces they didn't get to on stream due it XD

[tiny hinge]

Wait there are art review streams?

I should make it known i dont watch streams, not enough time in the day

[brittle fern]

they're a part of the chill streams (streams with no theme in mind)

[tiny hinge]

I like that

Chill streams sound nice

[turbid karma]

(once every two weeks and then if it doesn't break)

[tiny hinge]

Do they get archived on YT or twitch? Might check it out

[cerulean mountain]

there is a twitch archive, and vods appear in yt too but idk how long it takes for them to be uploaded on yt

[tiny hinge]

thank :)

[crystal juniper]

haha ^^

[brittle fern]

Still pretty rough right now but was in a pretty evil mood tonight

[crystal juniper]

evil just puts up front but is more like good

seems fitting ^^

[tiny hinge]

Friend took my outlines and overlayed them on a background and I think I like it more than the drawing lol

[brittle fern]

i want to do something else with this but for a normal drawing of evil it's not the worst thing i've done

[crimson comet]

how do i make this look like a tv

or just a display at this point

[brittle fern]

holy

i wish i could help with that more but i'm still figuring out my options

[sturdy apex]

Blankets?

[glacial estuary]

Did this yesterday

[glacial estuary]

Do you put peoples ocs next to tv?

[glacial estuary]

?

[sturdy apex]

Sounds cool

[crimson comet]

that is a blanket

this is a blanket

[crimson comet]

its for a collab thing on osu

[glacial estuary]

Oh i see

I got confused

[glacial estuary]

[crimson comet]

[brittle girder]

the sketch doesn't look like eliv at all

Well I guess I have to trust the process

[boreal stump]

maybe bc the skirt is too long

and the chest a bit big

[crimson comet]

prob just the skirt

the chest is a plus

[brittle girder]

That was intentional, I was trying to draw an older Eliv

But not sure if it worked.

[brittle fern]

well as you said

trust the process

[boreal stump]

no wonder that she doesnt look like her lmao

[brittle fern]

half the time i go through linework i get paranoid in the same way but that's also cuz i'm still trying to improve

man if only i could do clothing folds better

maybe i'll go more out of my way for it when i pick this back up

[tidal cosmos]

family

artblock with lazy is pain

[bleak agate]

Swag
I did math yesterday

[glacial estuary]

You already seen it

[bleak agate]

Well now i see it today in a different place
I must praise ur art in front of as many people as possible
Anyways

[glacial estuary]

Awwww

You dont have to force yourself to be nice to me ❤️

[bleak agate]

Forcing? 🤔

[versed bridge]

Faking :LULE:

[bleak agate]

Im nice to u?

Impossible

[glacial estuary]

Hmm thats strange

And interesting

[bleak agate]

Nothing strange or interesting

Ur art is gud

U suck ballz lmao
Ight enough

🫡

[glacial estuary]

that's one intense gaze XD

[glacial estuary]

it's like... "is she looking me like I'm a dinner?" XD

[brittle girder]

[proud birch]

Because i wanna touch you?

[turbid karma]

[wise stone]

That sounds so extremely wrong.

[crystal juniper]

on so many levels

[crimson comet]

i wonder if yall do use something other than paypal to recieve commission payments

[brittle girder]

Somehow I struggle with the hair on the left side maybe I just need a break

[tiny hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/kenny-were-the-millers-wait-you-guys-are-getting-paid-will-poulter-gif-15947359

[wise stone]

I know two of them, Google pay and Wise.
Don't ask me how to do it or how these things work tho, I have no experience with them. I just heard that these two are alternative app for art commission payment.

(wip)

[crystal juniper]

I don't have done paid commissions to other people and part of it's just not wanting to deal with it... I would have some really specific terms... I once drew something for free but it was just kind of accepting a request and still done in very much how I wanted to

[warm pewter]

I only offer paypal and always send an invoice to the customer so there is no confusion on the final amount or people wanting to 'pay the rest later' ^^'

[crimson comet]

paypal fees are just ass

and the hold times are way too long

[warm pewter]

Yeah the fees are ass but in my country everyone has paypal and there isn't a well known alternative

I never experienced holding times tho

[crystal juniper]

payer can dispute it so

[glacial estuary]

Remember to make dynamic lines and sketch your pose out before doing line work

[crystal juniper]

it's then having to tell them you did the work they paid for and it's fine

paypal can indeed make process more complicated if some safeguard kicks in

[sturdy apex]

PayPal makes me cry.

Can you imagine having 5 dollars taken away from you.

[crystal juniper]

a few years ago before I knew how to really draw I used to commission artists and I learned after a few times being scammed to see it was a huge red flag when they don't offer paypal... ran away with bunch of my money

[steady abyss]

real

[crimson comet]

i got some cash to be hold in a fucking month

a month bro

[steady abyss]

wild

transferring a billion dollars

[crimson comet]

also theres a minimum cash requirement for payouts to bank

also myr3 charge for payouts

mf

[sturdy apex]

I remember doing commisions

And having to wait for a damn month for my money lmao.

[steady abyss]

well atleast its not roblox, when you sell stuff on there from the time you sell something on there to the time you can cash it out and have usd in your hand is about two months of pending time

and roblox will end up taking like 80% of it

[sturdy apex]

I think Roblox and PayPal are two completely different things.

[steady abyss]

yeah

pending times go crazy though

[sturdy apex]

Well what do you expect.

When you use Roblox as an income.

[steady abyss]

same could be said about transferring money on paypal

[sturdy apex]

But you don't earn on Paypal though.

[steady abyss]

I mean I would argue you do, maybe not directly but if you are constantly taking commissions you would be technically earning through paypal

[sturdy apex]

I mean. You earn it by doing commisions.

Paypals the guy who you need to trust to keep your money safe cause no one else will.

For like a %

[crimson comet]

surprised no one mentioned stripe yet

[sturdy apex]

More or so. PayPal TAKES money from you.

But no. You don't really earn anything in PayPal. I'd be amazed if they were generous enough to lower their fees.

PayPal just takes some of your money and keeps your other hard earned money in your account

[sturdy apex]

I got no clue what stripe is.

I've seen it mentioned on ko-fi though.

[undone hare]

sketch

[sturdy apex]

Train

[wise stone]

[crimson comet]

basically just a payment page

[sturdy apex]

Damn.

Is it available in Asia.

[crimson comet]

the client just needs to pay via any of your enabled payment options

hell yea

i actually have used it for my past 10~ comms

[sturdy apex]

Damn.

only 1 week of holdtime, better fees than paypal, no fees for payout to bank

[sturdy apex]

Maybe I'll check it later.

[crimson comet]

its perfect

[sturdy apex]

Cause I don't have a credit card

I mostly use PayPal to send it thru my parents lol

[crimson comet]

you just need a bank account to transfer it

its so good

[undone hare]

stripe is allegedly better than paypal but it deosnt work on my country

i cant tell u the amount of times i lost my shit with paypal

[sturdy apex]

I'll probs check it out.

[crimson comet]

[sturdy apex]

I haven't had a problem with PayPal

Other than waiting for money

[crimson comet]

surely fees

[sturdy apex]

At that point I wasn't really minding of the fees back then.

I was doing animations for people.

Probably enough for today, my fingers got so stiff for some reason

[brittle girder]

Do I learn that after learning shapes?

[undone hare]

i wish i hav a better camera but the orange LED from my monitor shining on neuro fumo at night turns her into evil

[crystal juniper]

that expression... Also I just wonder context of that pose combined with it XD

liking my current avatar quite a bit... so happy about it turning out so well

[brittle fern]

think i'm ok with this now. i should get better at folds in clothing but i just wanted to draw an eliv

and wanted to redo this drawing i made irl as digital art

[crystal juniper]

that blush... you made it work well and... classic hands in pockets... honestly, it fits so whatever ^^

[steady abyss]

gotta love hiding hands any way possible to prevent having to draw them

[warm pewter]

challenged myself to make a photo study in 2h since I'm usually slow af ^^' the 2h were okayish but it was exhausting and it will get even worse when I try it in colour next time

[warm pewter]

my go to is always drawing portraits

[brittle fern]

Shhhhhhhhhh

To be fair the last thing I drew had hands lol

[warm pewter]

even tho in theory I know the anatomy of hands they always look weird unless I have an exact reference, thank god I myself posess some hands to look at

[tidal cosmos]

angy

[wispy storm]

So from what I understand you use yourself as a reference

[wispy storm]

Car

[warm pewter]

yeah most of the time, I just take a picture from the angle I need ^^ then I dont have to spend time searching the perfect reference photo I need

[wispy storm]

Very relatable

[steady abyss]

too real

[wispy storm]

Tbh I don't know why my skills in drawing keeps degrading

Even though I draw daily

[steady abyss]

these are still my best hands and they are bad lol

probably woulda helped if i actually finished the drawing

but i gave up

[wispy storm]

I use simplified hands

[warm pewter]

I dont think thats true! Maybe you feel like it because you had a couple bad drawings in a row or your oberservation skills got better so you see the mistakes more but I'm sure overall your improving!

[crystal juniper]

that hand is bit overly detailed I feel like but as a practice it's fine lol

[steady abyss]

yeah i suck at doing stylized art

i usually lean on my realism skillset

[wispy storm]

The only thing I improved is drawing faces

And everything else either got worse or stayed the same

[crystal juniper]

for me I find drawing realistic not interesting personally so I just went with stylized from straight out of the gate... both routes are valid and not really only ones

[warm pewter]

I dont think it got worse in the long run but yeah art improvement can be really slow and we have to deal with a lot of delayed gratification

[steady abyss]

I like the immense detail that comes with realism i think, i dont like lack of detail that comes with a more anime-esq style while drawing

[warm pewter]

I mean you can add amazing detail in anime art as well, maybe just in other ways (for example wild textures and effects like mika pikazo uses)

[crystal juniper]

that's valid... we just have different preferences ^^

yeah more accurate would probably be calling it "anatomical detail"

[tiny hinge]

Hands are one thing. But I can't draw legs/feet to save my life

[warm pewter]

omg I hate feet

[tiny hinge]

🗣️

[wind laurel]

drawing feet but not too good so that people dont think im into them

[brittle fern]

I don't think I've successfully drawn a humanlike foot before without shoes or socks or anything.

[cerulean mountain]

but lowkey why are people who can draw feet such goated artists

[brittle fern]

I used to draw pokemon feet before I stopped drawing years ago but that's usually wildly different

[proud birch]

The bad thing is

We cant draw them as detailed as we want to

[turbid karma]

[proud birch]

Since only some of the sites i post detailed feet accept it others my post gets flagged or like for example here

[cerulean mountain]

if you really wanna draw them you gotta be clever iykyk

[proud birch]

Oh thats true i always have this feeling when im trying to go for realistic looking handss with all the joints n stuff

So i gave up on it and sinplified hand

[wind laurel]

when you hit em with the:

[turbid karma]

I mean, it only makes sense to draw detailed hands if you want to draw a man or make a character look older

[tiny hinge]

Ohh the foot convo took off

[brittle fern]

I mean honestly it's definitely a weak point of mine

[cerulean mountain]

admitting that is crazy ngl

[brittle fern]

Wait wait that's not what I mean

Damn it

[brittle fern]

Listen I was at work and wasn't thinking straight lmao

[turbid karma]

I've already mastered the way of drawing feet since my art class in highschool :LULE:

By looking at references

[pale parrot]

Evil weasel

[cerulean mountain]

did you draw that?

[wise stone]

I mean it's one of the best way to learn how to draw anatomy. Pretty effective.

[wise stone]

Paccha, my fav artist.

[cerulean mountain]

ok

[wise stone]

Did you really think Maple made that?

[cerulean mountain]

i don't like to assume

paccha, my favourite artist

do you mean the weekly redraw challenge?

heres the first one #1202464797921247272 message

[brittle fern]

ye

bonding huh

[untold trench]

oo I remember drawing art for that prompt

[untold trench]

I did lead one before..... so if you want..

[brittle fern]

sure why not? wouldn't hurt to tackle more than one

[brittle fern]

what was yours?

[untold trench]

this was from september

[weak wave]

ohh yeah that one i loved drawing those designs

[untold trench]

yeahhhh steampunk

I actually saved your drawing when I saw it lol, was really good

[weak wave]

omg no way haha

[brittle fern]

oh, i think i looked back on that... steampunk was the prompt, right?

[untold trench]

basically yeah

[brittle fern]

i'll probably start with bonding then go to steampunk.

i'll also have to check some steampunk references cuz i'm not the most familiar with it lol

[untold trench]

understandable lol, it's a rather niche genre, I actually don't think I've ever seen anyone else draw steampunk themed neuro before I drew mine

Nice

I always love your emphasis on thigh

[junior basin]

yes.

[sturdy apex]

New gen already?

[turbid karma]

lmao, what's that top vivi has with the bra print on it? Reminds me of superman wearing underpants over tights

[junior basin]

probably one of those leather top over a white T shirt

[turbid karma]

It's a real thing?

[warm pewter]

Yeah I think it is a bra shaped crop top over a cropped tshirt

[turbid karma]

how out of touch I am with fashion

[wise stone]

Louis Vuitton bows?

Wait huh?

Oh, you meant the seemingly weird looking bar over white shirt. I don't think I have ever seen that kind of fashion before.

[turbid karma]

yeah

[crystal juniper]

bra over shirt or painted to shirt... not sure which looks weirder

oh and skin colored clothing that is the same color than wearer's skin is also... interesting

[crystal juniper]

haha getting that blush drawn early

[junior basin]

just search leather top you will see something similar

[junior basin]

thats just prefrences, to make the rough a bit more cute so that it won't look so bad when I post the WIP

[wise stone]

I see them but can't find the model who wears a leather top bra or anything similar on top of a shirt.

Uh... yeah.

[junior basin]

it's fashion, and it's Vtuber, no need to question

[wise stone]

Oh right, Vtuber fashions. I forgot.

[warm pewter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9FmIhMGYjg&t=555s thought this video was interesting, showing what goes into getting good and the mindset this guy has is amazing

[bleak agate]

i watched it like a month ago
i already forgot what it was about

[crystal juniper]

yeah I get it ^^ I tend to add eye pupuls when I post work in version of my drawings

heh, someone drew fanart of one of my characters

there are two things about being artist that are like... recognizing that you could have done better but not being too harsh for yourself over it and understanding that unless you got there in a way you found it enjoyable, it wouldn't have mattered what the more correct way to learn is supposedly

like learn smarter not harder isn't always appealing to everyone

sometimes you just enjoy more grind even if it's less effective way to get to that point

[cerulean mountain]

i really liked that video! might i recommend tppo if you like this kind of stuff haha

[brittle girder]

I have so many resources bookmarked, I fear that I will never check them all out

[removed-link] one of them is japanese but my japanese is not good enough to read that, but it looks interesting and helpful

[brittle girder]

huh really

[wise stone]

yep

[brittle girder]

can you see what exactly triggered it? maybe false-positive?

[wise stone]

Malwarebyte block the connection to the website you sent.

[brittle girder]

I edited my message then, I believe it's false positive but I am not 100% sure, sorry

[wise stone]

It's fine, but I'm not messing with a site that Malwarebyte blocked access.

[brittle girder]

Yeah

already know him xD his videos are great, I love the style and process breakdowns

[bleak agate]

I drew this today in school

[wispy storm]

Man my creativity is dead I can't think of anything

[wispy storm]

Woah Fred bear but with a lot of teeth

[elder trench]

that is super cute looking tho

[bleak agate]

i mean u just thought about eyes i suppose

👍

[bleak agate]

i kinda wanted to draw twisted freddy from the books
i was doing it by memory
anyways its not like im a fnaf fan anyways

[wispy storm]

For me it looks bad everything I draw looks bad for me

Like I can't accept it

[brittle girder]

the bear is really good

[bleak agate]

happens
just do ur thing, ull get better with time

[tiny hinge]

yup. thats the artist experience in a nutshell

[tall trench]

You got a nice base at least.

[bleak agate]

maybe u could like watch something to get inspired

[tall trench]

Trust me I think all my drawing look like poopoo

I just keep going because people other than me say it's not that bad

[bleak agate]

if i wont praise myself noone will
so im gonna praise myself anyways

ez

[versed bridge]

My drawing look good to me at first, but after sometime it look bad :LULE:

[wispy storm]

All my friends are like really good at drawing which kinda destroyed my little ego of thinking my drawings look fine I keep comparing myself to them

[tall trench]

Professional artists be like: "oh God this drawing I did a month ago looks so bad now lmao"

Like, beech, I think the drawing I did yesterday looks ugly

[versed bridge]

You're comparing yourself to others who's better too much :LULE:

[tall trench]

As it was said before, you are your own biggest critic. Try to take your expectation you put on yourself to improve further.

Applies to anyone.

[crimson comet]

instead of comparing to your friends, maybe compare to whatever you drawn the past year

also a reminder to have fun

this shit aint a chore lol

[bleak agate]

same bro
comparing urself to others is bad and can lead to a lot of problems related to for example envy
im pretty sure ur friends would like to help u if u were to ask them

[versed bridge]

Try to break the habit of comparing yourself too much :LULE:

[bleak agate]

yep

im better anyways

[versed bridge]

Some are fine, since competitiveness is good :LULE:

Ego is a pretty good drive anyways

[wispy storm]

I have none 🔥

[versed bridge]

Damn, get some ego

[bleak agate]

im the most egoistic man on earth

and im proud to announce that

[tall trench]

Both extremes are bad. Don't be too harsh on yourself but also don't be too conformed.

[bleak agate]

im just being silly dont take me seriously

[tall trench]

It's ok if you critic yourself as long as you don't end up sulking and not drawing further.

[crimson comet]

redrawing old stuff can be a good gauge of your current skill

this is fun to do

[versed bridge]

Ego got too big? :LULE:

[bleak agate]

theres never enough ego

[undone hare]

for me when i feel like i cant draw i dont draw

and it kinda happens a lot lately

[bleak agate]

i just do smth to maybe get ideas for drawings
playing games, watching shows, socializing with people

[versed bridge]

The fire is sizzling out :FeelsBadMan:

[bleak agate]

funny moments could happen that would potentially inspire me to draw

[versed bridge]

I just look at thing, and start thinking

[undone hare]

more often than not, a good song actually motivate me to draw

[bleak agate]

if i dont have ideas and i want to draw

i just draw fnaf

its my comfort zone

[tall trench]

Guys wait

[undone hare]

like when i feel the energy of the song

[tall trench]

Something was just revealed to me.

[bleak agate]

true!

[tall trench]

Neuro with white socks.

-# Can someone do it?

[bleak agate]

draw it

dang it

[tidal cosmos]

One hour for this is I guess quite alright

[versed bridge]

No shoe?

[bleak agate]

[tidal cosmos]

Eepy now tho

[bleak agate]

goodnight

nice thighs

[versed bridge]

[tall trench]

Damn you wanna put the dogs out?

[bleak agate]

[versed bridge]

The socks are covering the feet :forsenOkay:

[tidal cosmos]

ur artstyle is so beautiful and sexy

[bleak agate]

sleep required then

[junior basin]

although that is both a blessing and a curse, especially when drawing certain smol characters

[bleak agate]

whoops

[tidal cosmos]

Lmao, can do u Chibis?

I don't think I've seen any Chibis from you

[turbid karma]

I have a million different ideas that I want to draw but just don't get around to it, I always need some sort of inspiration, a feel for it. That's why I have a huge folder with references and also a notebook in which I write down my thoughts, and when I finish one art, I run through everything I've collected in the hope that something will click in me

[versed bridge]

:Aware:

[tidal cosmos]

Feels man

[junior basin]

surprisingly, that would actually be a yes

[tidal cosmos]

[versed bridge]

Cute

[tidal cosmos]

so cute

[wispy storm]

[bleak agate]

i dont have that much ideas but i do have enough to not run out of things to draw
having lots of ideas can result to most of them being not realized/implemented/actualized
(i forgot which word fits better, anyways too much ideas means too much undone potential imo)

[crystal juniper]

for me drawing ideas compete and I pick one of them to draw... I feel ike drawing again something that relates to two or more fandoms by what characters I include... it's fun

[elder trench]

your drawing looks better than what i feel i can do

[bleak agate]

MenheraEatingPopcorn

[crystal juniper]

I want to draw so many things currently so... might as well stop proscanating

[bleak agate]

gl bro

[crystal juniper]

it's weird... I just get so productive suddenly

[bleak agate]

just take it as granted, do ur thing bro

[proud birch]

Im gonna sleep fr this time

bro is not sleeping

evil spotted

goodnight bro

[hybrid pilot]

I made personal preferences for art stylization on my art

[glacial estuary]

Nice, good idea

[crystal juniper]

cat paw detected ^^

anyway that's a good idea actually

I agree lol

I have shaded quite a few ball shaped things and and your approach seems sensible from my personal experience

[bleak agate]

[wispy storm]

Mhh ball

[brittle girder]

instead of coloring I tried something new, not finished yet, missing details and background

and a few shadows are missing

still deciding if I make it a manga scene with vedal abandoning evil

[turbid karma]

yeah, about shadows, where's your light coming from? top?

[brittle girder]

top right corner

[brittle girder]

the green circle in the corner

[turbid karma]

so from the back?

[brittle girder]

kinda

below

https://youtu.be/unHaPgsvG4Y this is my reference

[turbid karma]

ohh

i see

[brittle girder]

(I have no idea what I am doing)

[crystal juniper]

haha... it's one of those feelings you often end up proving wrong if you keep overcoming it

I just spent quite a while drawing mimikomew's collar... using the handy reverence sheet to loosely drawing her model

[tall trench]

You guys have no idea of my pain.

I have drawing ideas but don't feel inspiration to actually make it justice.

[bleak agate]

U must uhhh drink tea

That helps me

Idk tbh

[turbid karma]

The problem is that you have light coming from different places (I wrote them), in the reference it comes from behind and a little bit from above and from the side. The most important thing you need to fix is the arms and legs, as well as the whole face should be in shadow except for the nose and cheek with this source, but the cheek is covered by the hair. The hair you have done well, and I also advise you to make a contrast

Someone's cat.

Food-coma was so strong. I slept very quickly.

And awake way too early too. It's 2:40 am here.

[untold trench]

I feel this in a similar way, I have quite a few ideas I want to do but I’m putting them off to the side until I become a “better” artist to do their execution justice

[wary briar]

he is aware

Vedal is literally Gendo

Thats the point

I gonna draw some other things... xdx

the download folders incident needs to be drawn

This is probably how he feels after the leak

[brittle fern]

definitely

[tall trench]

I bow my head, guys.

Someone please draw Neuro with white socks

I wanted to do it myself but my hand broke apparently

[wary briar]

I would make a drawing about the leak but it would probably get deleted it seems

[crystal juniper]

hmm... probably doing fictionalized version that doesn't allure to actual leak would work but even then probably they appreciate not posting such art here right now...

[wary briar]

leak? Idk what you are talking about...

[whole galleon]

leak.What leak

[untold trench]

I’m actually so clueless as to what you’re on about

[wary briar]

Like i dont even know what myself was talking about, sorry, silly me

[untold trench]

This requires an investigation, I will find the truth

[wary briar]

Sorry lad, better not

Its just that ved leaked things and mods are deleting any clips of the leaked things, even the vod is gone

Wait what

[untold trench]

Ohh okay thanks for letting me know, I was getting that sense anyways

I will forget todays’ events then and move on

[wary briar]

Im gonna go back to playing my games and drawing

[brittle fern]

unfortunately i can't get it out of my head. it was such a good moment

[tall trench]

I'm very confused

[shut obsidian]

how does neuro's hair ribbons work?

its been like almost 2 years and i still dont know

what does it look like untied

[crystal juniper]

hmm... a good question considering there are different ones

[wary briar]

I have no idea

[crystal juniper]

I just imagined it as piece of cloth...

it's just then wrapped around or something

[tall trench]

The original Hiyori model was a hair lace tied into a bow.

I suppose Anny did the same thing with the current model.

[pale parrot]

i forgot what its called but it is a specific japenese hairstyle

[tall trench]

Pigtails? Lol

[pale parrot]

no

she has hair flowing down her back pigtails have hair only on the sides

If you want to get rid of muddiness caused by multiple/shadow layers

You can simply overlay a desired color (i recommend a yellow - orange color on the top half of the color box/wheel)

do we have like a secret santa event for artists

would be cool but hell to organize

[turbid karma]

how does it work?

Ohh secret Santa art trade could be really fun

[crimson comet]

everyone will throw their prompts/refs into a pool (santa) and the organizer will select someone to recieve it (santee)

[turbid karma]

weekly redraw but for everyone, i see

[brittle fern]

never did an art trade before

secret santa would be cool tho

[versed bridge]

Imagine getting a prompt you can't even draw :LULE:

[brittle fern]

i can barely even draw more than one neuro rn

at once

it's a work in progress tbh but still

[crimson comet]

thats the fun of it

[white bison]

That’s a cool idea

[brittle fern]

the start of my Bonding "weekly prompt". feels like evil's hair is a little off for me rn

then again not a lot was done on it yet but still

actually i think it's the shape of the hair on her head that seems off to me.

too tired to continue tonight though

[junior basin]

why did I drawing her ended up like Neptune

[pastel knot]

Secret Santa sounds fun

I've done one before and it was pretty awesome

[cerulean mountain]

secret santa art trade sounds sooo fun, it could be neuro themed

[versed bridge]

i can see that

[crimson comet]

ive done it for 5 years in a row as of now

fun to see my art progress

i wonder how many ppl would join tho

yo chat type 1 if you would join
