Give artist tips, please ;-;

[finite plank]

Anything in particular or Just general?

[rich inlet]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

in general

preferably digital artist tips as well

but i dont mind traditional ones

[finite plank]

Study the fundamentals.

Don't compare yourself with other artists.

Make sure to sketch and thumbnail first.

Use references, always.

Don't get too caught up in the details.

Work with your entire arm, not just wrists.

[rich inlet]

Any tips for if someone were to.. perhaps.. use a mouse..?

[finite plank]

I'd say try to invest in a drawing tablet, it doesn't have to be an expensive one.
Drawing with a mouse is doing some damage to your hand and wrist.
Now I'm not saying you can't, it's just a lot more difficult.

[rich inlet]

yeah ik

hold on how much does a drawing tablet even cost-

Aw hell naw

my wrist gon have to put up with it

i aint buyin that

💀

oh

wait nvm

i just saw some rlly expensive ones 💀

now i see cheap ones

[finite plank]

There's really cheap ones for like 40 USD

[rich inlet]

wait

is it better if it has a screen or no screen?

[finite plank]

I've used both. It's kinda a preference thing, its about where you look while drawing as one without a screen means not looking at your hands, but rather at a separate screen.
but as a beginner an easier to replace one would be better (cheap no screen option)

[rich inlet]

understood around 80% of that, but thats all i need to understand

..

that dosnt make sense-

oh well

This one look good?

its cheap and has a screen

[finite plank]

Graphic tablets without screens are significantly cheaper and are ideal for those on a smaller budget. Their hard plastic exterior also makes them less prone to wear and tear. However, having to look back and forth between the tablet and the computer may discourage aspiring artists from regular practice.

[finite plank]

That's a light table

[rich inlet]

probably should have said this earlier, but i got less than 3 brain cells

so yes or no?

[rich inlet]

oh ok

ill take that as a no 💀

ty

Wait does it also work if your on a laptop?

or nah?

[finite plank]

A light table is for traditional art, for tracing.

[finite plank]

Yes, it works for laptops, you plug it like a mouse.

[rich inlet]

oh ok

[rich inlet]

oki

👍

ty

[visual gorge]

hey late bu5 just ti say that if youre completely tarting out, i think staying to just sketches in your sketchbook is gonna be great.

digital is….weird? Like, even with a pen, i dont think its the best to get your hand used to the movements and all

[rich inlet]

does having experience with 3d animation help at all 💀

since.. its a form.. of art?

i think?

[visual gorge]

if you model it, yes?

[rich inlet]

oh nvm

then thats a no

--

[visual gorge]

though animation will definitely make your poses lesss stiff

i do not snimate hut i have watched tutorials and so on so…yeah

[rich inlet]

alr

[visual gorge]

but yeah modeling something in 3D is a greeeeaaaat boost on ur art

[rich inlet]

well im tryna learn art

so then i can start modeling

[visual gorge]

ahhh

[rich inlet]

and then expand with animation..

so basically im learning something to learn something else to learn something else

[visual gorge]

level expanding 🔥

[rich inlet]

fr

[visual gorge]

also i have a like. Suppperrr great vid to level up fast

Like. In one year, youll get veryyy good results

[rich inlet]

your making this sound like a rpg or smthing 💀

[visual gorge]

LMAO it kinda is ig

[rich inlet]

:OO

[visual gorge]

https://youtu.be/0NYqmhESI-Y?si=zdX8_oWQ7IdTSZUO

this will guve you a very good boost on fundementals

[rich inlet]

yes i need that

my art looks exactly like that

[visual gorge]

lmao

also his first practice lesson thing can be kinda tricky ro understand ad a beg8nner?

so im going to

Give tips

[rich inlet]

didnt know i'd find my own personal mentor on here-

spill ze tips 🔥

[visual gorge]

so. Figure drawing is a lot about feeling and following the flow of the curves of a body. Lets take this one for example.

if i were to do a figure drawing of it, i’d immediatly notice the flow of the shapes. This will reall6 helps, considering figure drawing exagerates, and simplify bodies.

This will probably help you get a flow with your pen 🔥

Also…again….pls, draw on paper. Digital just feels weird. And…paper is less expensive, lets be fr

[finite plank]

I Agree! Starting out, learning fundamentals, paper is great.

[visual gorge]

also !! He gives you a plan for if you wanna learn EVERYTHING but, honestly…? Focus yourself. You wanna draw characters ? Do the characters, ignore his perspective thing. Maybe learn his perspective basis, but dont go into learning whole ass landscape if you only care about characters.

[rich inlet]

Srry for late response

went to go do lunch

[visual gorge]

its alr

[rich inlet]

uh

i'll draw anything

[visual gorge]

alr

[rich inlet]

as long as it helps 💀

alr imma go eat lunch now

[visual gorge]

well…you wanna model. Right?

[rich inlet]

yuh

[visual gorge]

okay !!

[visual gorge]

so. Think of what you wanna model most. In my opinion, but i am biased, character is better for a human has more complex shapes than a building. Also…learning how to draw the building wont help in 3D? Since learnin€ landscape in art is making them look in perspective. You kinda dont have to worry about that in modeling, am i right?

[rich inlet]

uh

in blender

normally you like.. make a sketch..

then import it in..

then trace-

to like actually get the shape right

cuz modelling from top to bottom or bottom to top will just make it look kinda wonky

[visual gorge]

ohh

but yeah

if you use perspective

On your drawing of those buildings

then they wont be the right height

again

this is your journey

so

do what you want ig

[rich inlet]

i.. most likely wont be drawing buildings..

plus drawing is only for a portion of the things that i'd model

like weapons, tools, just items in general

or anything else that drawing could help with

[fading kettle]

Learn with a mate

and never give up

dont put pressure on yourself

[rich inlet]

good idea

ill force my friend to learn with me

cuz am good friend 👍
