Artist General

[crystal juniper]

I got into art making and didn't feel how hungry I'm

[wind laurel]

i hope the fellow artists here can appreciate the perfection of this orange

[worn briar]

add a golden spiral

[boreal stump]

i appreciate this orange (i want to eat)

[wind laurel]

GODDAMN

i saw the golden ratio too but damn it fit perfectly

[worn briar]

mmm masterful composition

[wind laurel]

every artist here now has to draw this orange

[crystal juniper]

why not tomato instead... due toma or something

[tidal cosmos]

Final thoughts, I like it, I can feel my pen line weight better than ever, would buy, will save

[tidal cosmos]

Goddamn

[tidal cosmos]

Ngl I would, after I'm done with what I'm drawing

[proud furnace]

what a holy composition

this is so beautiful

I hope I can see these in real-life

I've made so many beautiful things in Blender, but I have never seen any type of mountains, sceneries even similar to what I've created

buh

[spice sable]

That's what artists do, create rare and extraordinary things

It's 11:30 PM now, and I'm off to find some late-night dinner

[versed bridge]

very nice

Me making Asmon-sama: "Uh yeah! What he said!"

[wise stone]

Ok, so there is this drawing of Bocchi fanart that I did but I have not post it anywhere.
I kinda forgot this work in heep of my unorganized files, oops.

[wise stone]

Lol, but not bald enough to be Asmon. (He's gonna be so mad)

[worn briar]

I understand it now

[tidal cosmos]

Wonder what the motivation was

[worn briar]

it's like god was controlling my hand

I made a toma and ved art but idk if i can post here

[tidal cosmos]

Is it on Twitter

[wary briar]

Yep

[tidal cosmos]

Based, lemme see

Oh it's not that bad tbh

But u can ask heir if it's okay

she shaved her eyebrows?

[proud furnace]

[undone hare]

im having various doubts about my skills, i often and currently am fallen into a hole of not knowing what to add next to make the scene better

may i always be a copy cat

i cant come up with anything that looks good

[worn briar]

great artists imitate

imitate, not copy

[crimson plover]

i got 2 ideas rn for the hairstyle of this Nwero version - One inspired by Circus Baby & one almost like the current one

& yes, I'm slacking off

should prob actually segment apart the back hair on the 2nd one

[tidal cosmos]

[worn briar]

the pigtails from 1 attached to 2

[crimson plover]

oh, hm might look like too much but i like it

I'll think later on how to make the pigtails better too, rn they look like upside down tulips when i wanted to make em look like messy hair kekw

[worn briar]

I still don't know how hair works, I guess I need studies on that too

[spice sable]

I just saw that stream clip from two days ago and holy tutle

he's drawing so fast

is there really anything can't do?

[worn briar]

say it back

[crimson plover]

just wait a year or two again and he'll warm up more

[wary briar]

https://tenor.com/view/dark-souls-gif-13813457612366790790

Im sure no one will notice, they will be looking elsewhere

[crystal juniper]

I got inspired recently what my next art piece should roughly be like... well rough idea anyway

[silver creek]

Progress: Hair textures complete, clothes textures needs tweaking, Bandaid still missing, Add more blush, And Rigging is partially done

[crystal juniper]

so mostly there really

well.. rigging can be pain to butt

[silver creek]

I so Agree, luckily this time I only have to rig the new hair~ So I have less work to do

[worn briar]

oh that looks spot on

I like how borzoi deals with meat and muscle

[proud birch]

Thank you i rly like anatomy

Personally just like

Squishes and like little fatty/muscle bumps make things a little hotter

[proud furnace]

:neuroTrue:

[proud furnace]

damn the muscle shading on the tummy

[crystal juniper]

yeah there are small details like that... having pants to look like they slightly contrast skin to indicate they're atually enough tight to not fall off and just added visual detail

[proud furnace]

with post-processing and some visual improvements on the water and particles

[boreal stump]

how much ram does it take to render this?

[steady abyss]

Well it would depend on the gpu and rendering parameters, though i cant imagine too long

now if it were animated that would be a different story

[boreal stump]

Especially for that case

[crystal juniper]

yeah simulating physics of tons of small particles or something is quite demanding for even pre-rendered not to mention if one has it on realtime lol

[tall trench]

Bro my art shitpost again appeared on stream

Why those and not the ones I put more effort get the highlight

I love neuro's new hairstyle

New reference material for study

[tidal cosmos]

Poggies

I should really make a neuro referenced folder of just neur

[hushed jungle]

@tidal cosmos if you want i have a folder of reaction images with the subtitles saying either just unhinged shit or normal responses

im still building it tho

[tidal cosmos]

Maybe in The future I'll ask you

[hushed jungle]

its top shit

i need more tho

[tidal cosmos]

Lmao I love these, is the images easy to search aswell?

[worn briar]

we could set up a Mural with all the neuro refs

[wise stone]

We chould.

[crystal juniper]

having officially more than one hairstyle is progress I suppose... been giving them different hairstyles in my art anyway

I like when artists give them different clothing etc... draw them at their own styles... I guess it's due it makes artist more involved instead of strictly adhering to official looks

[hollow peak]

Wouldn't it be cool if someone drew vedal neuro and evil finally arriving at disney land

[crystal juniper]

hmm...

well baited I suppose... I have idea forming in my head of what to draw roughly... I suppose... I don't have much experience about disneylands outside of like youtube video documentaries and stuff

but yeah... I like the idea of drawing something related to it... just gotta sit on it first a bit to figure out some vague details

[hollow peak]

I wish i could draw but I don't have the determination
I could pay you for it if you want

[crystal juniper]

doing a commission makes me kind of nervous... something I haven't yet done with doing art lol

[hollow peak]

im not gonna force you anyway if u dont feel like it dw

[brittle girder]

trying to get back into art after the subathon

hopefully neurostronaut art soon

[tall trench]

For anyone that wants to find similar hairstyle, I found the best to search for "low pigtails, short hair, buns".

Some combination of those words on Pinterest should be good enough.

guest appearance :o

[proud furnace]

draw a little neuro chasing a cookie as the song progress bar under the whole canvas

a tiny neuro running and chasing a cookie, and leave a pink trail behind

could potentially be a feature

the neuro doesn't have to be an animation, just neuro doing naruto run and rotating back and forth according to bpm is enough

[trim kite]

we will be adding lyrics at the bottom, so I'll have to see if adding something there will be possible without blocking text!

if I know where the boundaries are I can add some more silly stuff

[crystal juniper]

yeah characters can be presented as stickers that rock around to get forward

[spice sable]

I'm starting to worry if freestyling was really a good ideas

[versed bridge]

I freestyle all the time forsenOkay

[trim kite]

i mean I can draw stuff but boop has to implement it first! you should present it to him

[proud furnace]

[upper ginkgo]

the only thing i can point out immediatly is the forehead shadow not being entirely correct
i feel like from that angle a bit more light should be on the nose bridge from the left side of the face

id reccomend looking up pictures of forehead shadow anime/manga to understand it better

[turbid karma]

[silver creek]

Rigging Done but prolly needs a bit more cleaning~ Here's a simple jump animation

[turbid karma]

[tidal cosmos]

btw csp artist, how do i get that brush that people uses for sketching hair? with the outline

[silver creek]

me?

[shut obsidian]

use any brush and turn on border effect in layer properties

[turbid karma]

In photoshop, you can create a separate layer and in the style include outline and paint with a regular brush. In csp, there should be something similar

[viscid gust]

Cutteee

some people take issue that I have evil's eyes appear partly orange in my various drawings... my thinking is just rooted to intuition what looks good and try to leave hint of red and not so flat colored... but then you consider vast majority of people aren't viewing my drawings on color accurate monitors so I might be making it too subtle for their displays color configuration... be it smart phone or something... there is also viewing distance to take account... I draw so zoomed in on a big display

thanks! I tried to experiment a bit with coloring

[wise stone]

@pliant quarry I love french fries with ketchup cardigan.
Low the brightness intensity a bit and it should be fine.

[tall trench]

Bro I have this digital artbook and there's scenes with variants depending on the time of the day: morning, afternoon, evening and night.

Ngl, it's an excellent source of learning on how light interacts with the base colours and can give whole different vibes.

[tall trench]

Ties back to this. There's no problem in color shifting as long as it makes sense with the overall drawing and the environment the characters are set in.

[wise stone]

sorry tag the wrong fella

in class right now

[worn briar]

too much hair volume

[untold trench]

ahh traditional is too hard

[tidal cosmos]

Cute lumine

[crystal juniper]

yeah stylistic choices... speaking of which, I actually added a layer for eyes to make it so that especially neuro-sama's eye color stays light blue looking... not optimal amount of layers approach with my art but it works lol

[midnight hazel]

Next subathon there should be a goal that forces vedal to actually commit to learning to draw. Like he has to post a sketch every day for a month or something.

[worn briar]

Bro has enough trouble committing to one project

[hidden void]

instead of humans prompting ais to make art neuro prompts vedal to make art

but yeah would never happen

[harsh arch]

He already has the circadian rhythm of a night owl as is. Maybe when he's more relaxed

can i draw vedal's secret manga?

guys think shader is better or take it off? need some suggest

[turbid karma]

Its hard to say without full image

full image here

The second version will work if you add more shadows, I would also suggest you study more color theory, the colors look muddy

[gilded dagger]

okay thanks!

[crystal juniper]

adding some red to her skin... like gradients makes it also look better... as without it she looks so pale and with stuff like red you can make it look like she got healthy skin/circulation

neck shading will look better without the line under it... with some soft edge... unless you make it a shirt or something

you got this!

Colouring....
it's clipped to one layer but I'm colouring and I don't know how this works at all and why some parts I can colour over and some can't how do I properly do this 😭

I duplicated the lineart layer, then used one to colour the base? I'm making it hard for myself because the colours keep mixing into each other idk how to do this properly do I go on a tutorial watching spree again? I'm so dumb I don't get it..
How do I clip more than one layer to the base colour thing? I know I need to make a folder? But it's so confusing
I swear I did it before 😭

Like this but I forgot how to do it 🥲

[robust sleet]

Never tried clip studio paint before but im sure that its similar to photoshop. So the layer underneath the last layer on the bottom with the red color on it should be the base layer for it which means that all the layers with the red lines above should only appear on what you have drawn on your base layer. And you can just stack your clipping layer by clipping them to the base layer again and organise them as normal layers after that. Adding a folder should make everything look more clean but i dont think its neccessary. This is just from what I know so sorry if im wrong about anything (Currently using krita though but I did have experience with photoshop and krita's clipping method is a bit different lmao)

actually this video explained it so much more better than I did

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nL5Uzu21mA

[crystal juniper]

I tend to use two to three folders... front, middle and back... front generally being what is front of characters but not part of their art directly... like them holding something... middle... character(s) art... back... background art behind everything else

indeed, clipping masks are awesome depending of methods one uses to do their art... I use lineart heavily so I just quickly flat color and then apply clipping masks

nyawame is learning the process they want to use, so it makes sense it's a bit of a hurdle until it feels trivial... it can just be intimidating when tool offers so many options that which you're supposed to use to do something

haha less than second react XD

oh it's neurobot ^^

[pastel knot]

you gotta structure it like this

only the folder should be clipped to the base layer

so then everything in that folder will be clipped

[pastel knot]

i can see in this image that none of the layers are actually in that folder

because theyre not indented like in my pic

[crystal juniper]

my newest attempt to draw a hair is a learning experience once again... a character with a messy punkish hair... trying to figure out which character it ends up being or just a completely original one... it started with idea of drawing evil neuro but who knows

[cursive flare]

Ahh Thank you everyone for the help 😭🙏
I'll go watch the video..and I'll try again to see if I can get it to work!

[cursive flare]

Oh?? Wait was I doing it wrong? 😭 I can't even tell the difference I just draw and hope it works..

[worn briar]

that's honestly enough ngl as along as the final output looks good

[cursive flare]

Do you usually separate base colour layers for separate parts? Like hair, face..? I just use one..

[worn briar]

me i have a draft layer, a lineart layer, base colors, highlights, lowlights, shadows

it depends on what you're going to be using it for

[cursive flare]

It's so confusing ; ;

[worn briar]

I watch vtuber model artists have hundreds of layers since the riggers would find it easier

stick with what works for you currently, then try incorporating adjustments to your workflow slowly

[cursive flare]

I'm trying to clip the top 2 to the bottom layer and made a folder? But I don't know if it worked

Uhh the lineart is on the top layer

[turbid karma]

click on the eye near the folder, if all the contents disappear, it works

[cursive flare]

It becomes just the base? colour
(Also how would you colour the backgrounds and stuff afterwards? Do you just draw behind everything??? 😭 I've never really done this before, like a room where the characters are actually there and not just a single colour background

[worn briar]

just smart wand lasso the girls, then fill the clipping mask layer with black (or white depending on the program you're using)

[cursive flare]

I've watched so many tutorials but I just really don't get much from it am I just that incompetent 😭 wth I've had it explained so many times

[worn briar]

everything that's filled in the mask "masks" the light from lower layers reaching the top

most image editing programs composite the image from the bottom layer to the top

so anything that is "masked" is covered and therefore isn't shown

that program you're using looks like Sai/CSP, right?

[cursive flare]

Yeah it's Clip studio 🥲

I watched a 50 minute long video on how to use clipping masks but I guess it all went through my other ear

Thank you for the help though, really 😭

[worn briar]

• so in CSP i lasso wand the lineart, set the Close Gaps option to high
• i have a "background" color layer with a layer mask based on the initial lasso selection

this is wonky, because my initial lineart is on a white background - but it shows how the mask works - the black sections in the mask is a "hole" in the mask, letting the portions of the layer underneath show

if I wanted a pure background color, i could do it another way

• select the parts of the image that don't need color, make a Mask Outside Seletion from that

[cursive flare]

Oh..! I have no idea how I did this before then 😭 I didn't use layer masks or anything

[worn briar]

masking just makes your workflow easier just in case you want to adjust some things later on in your workflow

if you can draw everything perfectly from start to end on one layer, you wouldn't need other layers

[cursive flare]

Am I going to watch this "Full complete explanation using masks to colour tutorial.."
(over 2 hours 😭 )

[worn briar]

honestly the best way is to experiment with it

[cursive flare]

Yeah..😭 I just have to try..thank you for your help

[worn briar]

just remember, layers on top "cover" the layers on the bottom - mask layers allow you to make holes in that cover/make a small cover instead

[crystal juniper]

hmm...

its not that much of a relevation but especially for poses its good to help your understanding of how things should be

sadly i am not a cute anime girl that can help me with stuff like that but you figure out how the body works by doing that

[crystal juniper]

I have been mentally learning so much about folding by drawing it... like that cape I drew lol XD

also just ways to make stylized textured surfaces... like the sakura tree... I quite like how I have learned to make stylized trees like that

I'm just so motivated to keep learning by doing

no the korean eyeliner thing

it's popular now, i normally see it on "landmine girl" fashion

[trim kite]

very normal whiteboard drawing

[harsh arch]

Alright, i tried to replicate it. Did i successfully capture the eyeliner to you?

[worn briar]

oh wow that's spot on

oh man they're literally just eyebags but cute

[upper ginkgo]

its not on this specific reference but usually i see highlights often aswell at the beginning of the eye

[worn briar]

like shimmery gloss on the upper eyelid?

[upper ginkgo]

oh ye wrong wording but in the middle of the eye on the eyeline and also eyebag often

basically how normally the highlights of the eyes would be

[wary briar]

Tomboy ved doodle

[harsh arch]

Okay, here we have the base colors in place

A reddish tone for the blush and a slightly darker one for the maskara/eyebag

a transition into a darker tone near the most lateral end of the eye

The eye marks (thin lines that are only slightly darker than the maskara. I exaggerated here)

highlights

[worn briar]

yeah the highlight looks like the important part here, thanks!

[tidal cosmos]

Beautifully tired Is what I thought of looking at that eye

[boreal stump]

"it's an art style" can be literally excuse for everything

the main thing whether it works or not

[worn briar]

as long as it's internally consistent

cant be mixing chibi proportions with realistic rendering now can we

unless you like the "ai upscaled modded oblivion" aesthetic

[wary briar]

just having some fun

[turbid karma]

[versed bridge]

Nice

[crystal juniper]

so inspiring ^^

[midnight hazel]

i cant escape drawing the head so fucking big, this is after having already scaled it down still. getting a lot better at drawing without a reference now.

altho the poses are still basic af

[crystal juniper]

well if you can make the head size to work well then it's just your artistic choice ^^

well can present it as such anyway

[midnight hazel]

I mean it looks fine but it's more I've been trying to avoid it happening and yet it keeps happening

oh well. I'm sure it'll iron out if I just keep drawing more

[crystal juniper]

yeah... it's considered one of classic "mistakes" artists do...

one thing I would say due the head size compared to body... the character looks quite young... now if character is intended to be young them propotions seem rather fine... making head smaller would likely make it look actually too small

[midnight hazel]

its meant to be an adult

[crystal juniper]

if you make head smaller... then her body will be very short for an adult

but hey, your drawing looks good ^^

it's good practice anyway

[undone hare]

im not done with my manga yet but im sehlving it for now, im drawing neuroverse again tmr

[versed bridge]

If your head is too big, try making bigger body

[undone hare]

i miss painting illustration so bad

[crystal juniper]

I feel like drawing more vedal art too... just gotta get it done

I got inspired by manuh's art... just gotta come up with my "own idea"

[midnight hazel]

that was my thought at first, but for some reason my brain just can't make it happen even when I'm actively trying to do it. but its all probably just from lack of practice.

at the very least I'm getting closer to actually potentially making finished art. and then maybe I'll be able to start making Neuro Fanart

[versed bridge]

Well, at least you know what to do :forsenOkay:

Good luck

[crystal juniper]

yeah it's valid method... personally though I just went with it... I mean started to draw and then posted stuff online

people have their preferences how they practice

I know it's a bias but I feel like it helps me as I can then observe finished drawing and process it mentally what I might want to try next etc

[versed bridge]

Well, I don't really practice :LULE:. I just freestyle till I get some resemblance of something I have in mind

[crystal juniper]

honestly relatable

[versed bridge]

Nice

[crystal juniper]

I start with idea of drawing something and then end up winging it as it progresses... like ends up being something else than "planned" and even that plan is so vague in my head XD

[turbid karma]

[tidal cosmos]

looks okayish now, (i made the head smaller

[turbid karma]

don't you think arms are a bit too long?

[tidal cosmos]

[crystal juniper]

her left arm after the middle joint is noticeably longer looking than right one

if she's sitting on edge of a wall or something then left leg looks like it would clip inside of it

[crystal juniper]

looking good ^^

[tidal cosmos]

[crystal juniper]

all part of learning... and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses with art lol

[turbid karma]

arm on the right turned out well, the only thing is that I would have raised the left a little bit. and also I don't know what to call it, but in general where I circled, there shouldn't be such lines at this angle as you did here

[tidal cosmos]

thanks

[turbid karma]

that would be the case if the arm was in that position

you can easily see it if you stand in front of a mirror

[weak geode]

The arms are very long compared to the legs. The banjo and head look good though, very cute!

[crystal juniper]

excellent

[weak geode]

Yeah that looks better

You mean like shading, color picking or rendering?

[glossy blaze]

[crystal juniper]

assuming you are drawing digitally then just have some layers and mess around... experiment

[left atlas]

i’m assuming each is an issue, ill rework on each

it does seem too bright, a lot needs change, possibly line work as well. thanks guys

[crystal juniper]

you do pick very "light looking" colors or whatever but with right kind of background it would work

it just looks so bright due entire background is white XD

[left atlas]

most likely the lining, ill made the colors darker, ill fix it all when i wake up

might still be too bright. okay, ill worry later

[proud birch]

Depens on hoe you approwacit

Mmhm

Cause if you dwarken it like this it will look like uhh

Hiyori colorway

[crystal juniper]

I think now color balance or whatever it's called is fine in that one... most people viewing your art also don't do it through profesional displays that are professionally calculated to be color accurate lol

[left atlas]

i can put a color overlay to make it look bright while still being dark, i did it for evil one with pink

[left atlas]

i know only little color theory, i pick colors outta the vibes really

[proud birch]

Uhh

[left atlas]

its alright i get it. i can rework it

[crystal juniper]

plenty of artists have learned color theory mainly by just doing art and learning by experience... it just becomes intuition and observation if something looks good... if you feel colors don't look good together then that's your answer to try other colors

like I have hardly read etc about color theory but just have experimented a lot over time... it just then started to feel more obvious what seems to not look bad... distitrubing a few colors evenly across character so it looks fine... etc

[proud birch]

Tou can probably just tone the dark values a little higher

[left atlas]

i HATE making color palettes now i have to do math >:o(

[proud birch]

I think that spice is what it needs

[crystal juniper]

art is math ^^ trying to sound deep

[left atlas]

thats looks better i like it i do have to deal with the saturation tho

[proud birch]

You can check values like this

actually no

[crystal juniper]

due white background especially she looks kind of angelic

[left atlas]

“you are my sunshine”

[proud birch]

You can probably tell whats yours and whats edited

So i think your color is perfect honestly

You just need to make dark things darker if you need personally need it to be darker

But to the others eyes it does lkook like it doesnt need any fix/major improvements

[left atlas]

my main concern was how to do sweater shading really, i didn’t check the colors till now

i didnt know the hair was that distracting tho 💀

[proud birch]

Gyat

[crystal juniper]

I have been moving towards being more of overall shading than trying to shade every individual piece one by one

like parts of characters... deeming what needs more closer attention and then just overall shade things

[proud birch]

Haha ye

I think our eyes are more accustomed to uhh

Impressionism

[left atlas]

oh i do these studies where i draw a character and have a spot of focus, like if i wanted to work on hair id make the head big and face stupid, i wasnt worried about making a full piece

[proud birch]

Since usually traditional arts tend to be more cohesice because can see the whole art

[left atlas]

i dont think im talented enough to make finished work anyways

[proud birch]

Where digital involves alot of zooming so we can get thrown off

[crystal juniper]

yup... definitely... thus I often check with 100% zoom how art might actually roughly appear to someone... working 800% zoom definitely makes different impression XD

[left atlas]

oh “our eyes” not “my eyes” i thought the head was distracting

okay okay so i have to learn how to impression more

[crystal juniper]

there is also understanding how perception works... so gradient shading just makes things look right to others due their perception reasons that it looks right

even if I know it's not 100% precise shading lol

it just blends and looks right when viewed by others

[left atlas]

i actually had a thought about this

i was looking into anime hair more

have you guys ever looked deeply into any other artist work and felt that it felt “wrong”

[crystal juniper]

well if you look closely various art you can typically spot something that could be considered "wrong" if someone really went to nitpick them

but yeah... I have spotted clear mistakes if various art I have looked more closely

[left atlas]

while doing a lot of studying i was like “thats not how hair works” so i looked into it. i realize that a lot of anime artist use impressionism

[proud birch]

Haha yeah

[crystal juniper]

fun fact... modern 3D games use something called hair cards that have similar thing going on with them.... hairs are more like slices than how real hair is... anime hair indeed tends to be simplified and not really like real hair looks like... anime hair is generally stylized

[left atlas]

i can be quiet if you want to jump in reyforn, are you doing something big?

take your time

[turbid karma]

No lol

I just wonder why you think stylizing = wrong

[left atlas]

more of an imagination type thing. not saying that people who draw hair like that arent talented

like i saw someone mixed real hair with anime hair and i wasnt into it

it was cool tho

for me, i want to see hair that looks cared for, very special

i saw people do it and not do it and still made something interesting, its more something i want for myself. make something special

reminds me of when someone made this post about drawing water that looks cooler than real water, free anime i think its called

[turbid karma]

I see, I just didn't like the word wrong, there is no such thing in art. Unless of course we're talking about things like 6 fingers and 3 ears

[left atlas]

i expected this, i quoted it to limit confusion but ill consider other words

i dont like using “absurd” bc it sounds rude and i like most absurd art, i didnt like abstract either

eh ill think about it later, i apologize still

Nah, it's just a misunderstanding, I get what you mean

[boreal stump]

i feel that parts are just all over the place and there is no practical sense

but making humanoid robots is stupid in general but its another point

[weak geode]

The coloring isn’t bad at all. If anything the pose is stiff. I love how you drew her face.

[steady abyss]

Agreed, however the human mind likes to anthropomorphize things, which makes them look more appealing i suppose. But yes, in practice they are rather pointless as a robot designed for a task is always a better choice.

[crystal juniper]

companies are working on mechs but ones deemed to eventually practical outside of entertainment are way smaller than when people think giant mechs (or humanoid robots that work without pilot)... of course with fiction it's generally just about rule of cool, people designing gundams aren't really taking it from an angle if how they look make any practical sense... they did make full sized gundam but it's essentially standing by being supported to not fall over and can't actually walk out of its set piece

so yeah of course fictional ones definitely aren't practical lol

[crystal juniper]

she looks quite intense XD

its easiest to treat it like a box

if you focus on this part, the rest becomes much easier

[hushed jungle]

the part here has a degree of freedom where it can rotate about depending on the position of the thumb

so if you ignore the fingers and treat it like an almost flat box you can have a pretty good idea of where the fingers will start once you determine where the palm is

I took pictures of my own hand to check, but I think that changing the way I think of it would help too, thank you!

[hushed jungle]

the fingers have 2 added points of articulation, beside the knuckles, for mine only the knuckle and first fold are used

[hushed jungle]

the shape of the palm is super simple in 3d, once you can orient that box within your drawings figuring out where the fingers start is wayy wayyy easier

the fingers themselves are just sausages pretty much

once you get more advanced you can start adding curvature to that box

give it a shot honestly

take a look at your hand

try to identify that box

simultaneously if youre lazy you dont really need to draw hands if its vaguely hand shaped

[versed bridge]

That's how I do it :LULE:

[turbid karma]

At first I thought that is a reference to "Ivan the terrible and his son" lol

[weak wave]

So burnt out after the game jam but we are back I think

[hushed jungle]

this channel helps to motivate me to draw more

[tidal cosmos]

[versed bridge]

I like looking in this channel :forsenOkay:

man what a nostalgia this is, *when i was into vrchat

[wise stone]

Oh

My

God

You just unlock my memory

[hushed jungle]

scuffed background, have no clue what i wanna draw for the background

[wise stone]

The background look vaguely like a town with the black gothic cathedral.
From the vibe of this pic, I'd imagine this character just stopped by from hiking and she is in the grand canyon with wavy rock formation.

[hushed jungle]

close

shes a traceur

so its less hiking more climbing/running

but that tends to happen in more urban areas

its a bit of an inside reference tho cuz people imagine parkour to be running around and jumping between buildings and shit but a lot of the time freerunners/traceurs will just sit somewhere high cuz its nice there

[wise stone]

I see. But it doesn't feel like she's high up. Maybe because the lack of foreground context and those two houses at the bottom left is blocking the background scenery. Perspective wise, they make sense but they diminish the sense of subline.

[hushed jungle]

im trying to find a good middle ground

you dont typically get super high up when free running

esp not in older european cities

just enough to see across the rooftops is nice

but i scuffed it a little i feel

[wise stone]

Ah, understood. The geography of Europe doesn't have that much mountains, just a small hills and flat plains.

[hushed jungle]

the alps would like a word with you

[wise stone]

Oh right, forgot the alps

Thinking too much of Netherlands.

[hushed jungle]

tbf the background i painted was based on the netherlands

but its less a question of what height is available

its more a question of how much energy a freerunner has

can you imagine climbing up just 1 storey @wise stone

without stairs? youre only getting up like 3 storeys at MOST before running out of energy

[wise stone]

I can't. Cuz I have never done that before. And that must be challenging.

[hushed jungle]

yea, its just the limits of the human body

https://www.reddit.com/r/Parkour/comments/1hzefuy/i_found_this_nice_spot_and_got_these_pov_clips_my/

this is what that tends to look like ~2 floors

[wise stone]

Man...

[hushed jungle]

its kinda like the amount of energy you put into a muscle up to do what he does here

so while he makes it look easy, hes probably only got like 3 of those in him at best

[wise stone]

Yeah, That dude makes it look really easy.

Also, you s.o.a.b. Reddit.

[crystal juniper]

this is such "gradients are cool" art ^^ I did draw one rainbow hair character and it can look quite good

[wise stone]

I got Camila'ed

[hushed jungle]

thats just me not embedding it right i think

i opened the link through a comment i left on it

so the formatting is scuffed

[wise stone]

He was more than that.

Man... It was short, yet endearing.

[elder trench]

[bleak agate]

[bleak agate]

[elder trench]

lol

[crystal juniper]

listening youtube while drawing ^^

getting at least one art piece done for the weekend

[bleak agate]

Limbus company Christmas nightmare ego

[robust sleet]

I only know how to draw one type of eye and I have no idea how to make other eye shapes work without them looking weird. I think I should focus more on drawing nicer looking eyes now

[crystal juniper]

I think you got this! your art is good... honestly the way you draw eyes stand out

I'm also trying to push my art

figuring out stylish backgrounds that don't take much work vs look etc

[worn briar]

so, deep brown brunette or something lighter like and closer to strawberry blonde

[hushed jungle]

cloudscapes are usually minimal effort with great results

realistically tho you wanna draw your character IN a background as opposed to drawing thems seperately

a good way to go about practicing it actually is finding pics and trying to draw your characters in them

[hushed jungle]

paccha does this kinda stuff extremely well

the perspective of the character generally should match the perspective of the background

its pretty hard to get used to if youre not already a good background artist

so try finding background photos and inserting characters into them

the camera is kinda eye level to the vanishing point, the perspective lines for evil dont cut below our horizon

[worn briar]

we doing paccha master studies now

[hushed jungle]

paccha's work is good examples of a bunch of stuff

i just happen to like their art so i have it on my desktop

so i dont need to go searching for it

[proud birch]

Im probably gonna die from details

[worn briar]

good luck

those qipao as nasty to draw

[versed bridge]

Holy my queen

[glacial estuary]

Question for my oc how do i make black on black visible ? Should i use white?

Because its melting all together and its barely visible

[boreal stump]

Dunno i can see different colors on hand

[glacial estuary]

Ok well nothing can be done about it

[worn briar]

slight white outline (from a back light)

[glacial estuary]

Ok will try

[elder trench]

i feel like something is off with my doodle

[tidal cosmos]

Eye a bit too high or the mouth a bit too low

[elder trench]

i see

[robust sleet]

I think its because that the angle of the face doesnt match the top of the head

so it should be something like this

or you can just turn her face to match it with the head

[elder trench]

i see

[glacial estuary]

Cute

Emiko

[elder trench]

thankyou

[elder trench]

fixed it a bit

[versed bridge]

How do I make it look more like Vedal? :LULE:

The hair isn't finalized yet

[wise stone]

How do people usually depicts Vedal? The most common one I know are from Paccha and Pchan.
slim eyebrows and pretty boy hair style.

[glacial estuary]

Classic berserk

[versed bridge]

I See

[wise stone]

Yes, it's called pretty boy from what I looked up.

[versed bridge]

I just don't know how it'd looks like with his hair flew up

I drew the fire punch face since it'd be pretty easy :LULE:

[wise stone]

Maybe kinda look like what's on the left of this pic.

[versed bridge]

I see

Nice

Now I just need to add rage into it :LULE:

[wise stone]

Ryan Gosling?

Or is it the Deadpool guy?

[turbid karma]

gosling

[wise stone]

Ok, gotcha.

Wait a minute, why him? Vedal usually depicted as a guy with no facial hair.

Or is it related with movies that Gosling was in?

[turbid karma]

its a meme

if you google ‘vedal irl,’ a reddit post comes up with this picture

and in general, it's often said of Gosling that "I'm literally him"

[wise stone]

Man, I miss so much stuffs.

[worn briar]

where'd you get a picture of me

[versed bridge]

It's lliterally forsen :FeelsStrongMan:

[crystal juniper]

I have done some drawings where characters are clearly part of the scene by seeing their feet, etc... I just like to draw close-ups quite often... yeah of course by having character seemingly touch what is often seen as background things... like railings, etc can make them feel like they're more connected to rest of the art... also I don't try to draw background intended to be separate from characters in them, I do try to make backgrounds with specific art in mind

it's also about practicing over time really... as I push my art I do more fancy art stuff that make background and characters in them feel less separate... considering a few years ago my character art was little more than stick figures I feel quite motivated

[pastel knot]

i like this idea
