Anyone here u mastered realism and could teach me

[lean salmon]

have great trouble in shading with pencil any good youtube tutorials @rose compass

[karmic jay]

what's that?

[karmic jay]

what type of realism? please elaborate. Send a reference of what you want to achieve

@lean salmon @scarlet plank what type of materials you guys use?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dqGkHWC5IU
good and simple "tutorial" for shading

[granite shoal]

hi what is a good-quality, cheap paper for pencil drawing?

Also, I've just bought my first art pencils (Staedtler) to persuade myself to draw as a hobby, but I don't really know where to start.. any newbie pointers? 😅

[ocean patio]

@granite shoal no matter the tool or the medium any printing paper will do the job except if u are planning to do great piece directly

to start i would recommend to alternate between learning the basics like shapes and simple perspective then study art pieces copying them. sometime draw something for yourself no matter what. It's important to keep drawing as an amusing subject.

there's tons of youtube channel to learn these.

there is no one way to learn how to draw ^^

[karmic jay]

staedtler is great already

[ocean patio]

@granite shoal You can use these links as a support

[karmic jay]

@granite shoal read this convo I had with another user if you want

[boreal anvil]

this is supposed to be for an assignment

[karmic jay]

it looks great, wow

[boreal anvil]

thank you tadano pfp

[karmic jay]

you are welcome One Shot's main character Niko pfp

[boreal anvil]

lol someone knew about oneshot

[karmic jay]

fucking awesome game, sad it is not too famous, but I guess it's a consequence of the art style + no marketing

[boreal anvil]

wdym the art style was gorgeous

yeah could be

the marketing was at steam only i guess

[granite shoal]

@ocean patio @karmic jay wow... thank yall so much!!!! this is a lot of information so it'll take me some time to read through, but thank you Cwispy for the links. I've heard of drawabox and youtubers like Proko and Sycra.. definitely will check out Design Cinema as well.. and I will certainly take your advice about how to start learning to draw.. thank you zeni for the convo, will look at that as well.. hoping I use the Staedtler pencils correctly haha.. wow yall gave me so many resources, I didn't expect this much help thank youu 🥺 😊

[karmic jay]

but general public doesn't like it

[karmic jay]

and youtubers playing it

[boreal anvil]

yeah it appealed to the indie games market i think

[karmic jay]

you can always come back and ask for more

[granite shoal]

ty ty.. bit overwhelmed rn, I think I'll just pick one of the videos and start drawing haha

[karmic jay]

just do it, no shame

[granite shoal]

will do 😤

I'll try to silence my inner perfectionist..

@karmic jay have you/ are you studying art?

[karmic jay]

yes

[granite shoal]

ahhh I see 👀

I've never taken a proper art class but I drew this a couple days ago:

it was from a youtube tutorial

[karmic jay]

could you send the tutorial? I'm interested

[karmic jay]

nice

[granite shoal]

I'll try to find it

[karmic jay]

try to practice line control, it will help a ton

[granite shoal]

idk if we're allowed to send links here

[karmic jay]

of course you are

[granite shoal]

but the tutorial is called How to Draw a Rose Step by Step | Hihi Pencil

wow.. looking back at the video, my rose looks kind of bland 😆

[karmic jay]

I see it, I recommend not watching those kinds of tutorials

they are really bad imo

[granite shoal]

ohh why's that? just curious

[karmic jay]

they teach nothing, it's void but on paper

if you want to know how to draw, that is

like, "the right way"

you haven't understood what the lines she made are, why is she choosing to draw the petals first, how does she constructed the flower's form on her head, etc

[granite shoal]

ahh I see, well guess I got a lot of learning to do lol

[karmic jay]

those videos are linear processes that can only teach one simple thing and it's basically useless, since you will not be able to draw another rose from any other angle

[karmic jay]

we all have

[granite shoal]

welp thanks for the help, appreciate it a lot!

I'll check back soon to show my progress~

[true hornet]

anyone got some Feedback for me ?

(Arms and Horns i still Need to change)

any critique is appreciated

[ocean patio]

much better than anything i could do

[true hornet]

idk for some reason i Like it but at the Same time i dont Like it

[true hornet]

@ocean patio i Just looked Up your Art in this Chat and that Statement isnt true at all

[spring ore]

ah yes its called, being an artist

the fight between your ego telling you its really good and you trying to balance it by telling yourself its terrible is a constannnnt

[true hornet]

idk

[spring ore]

looks nice

the way the legs connect feels off tho

[true hornet]

i Look at it and think Like man its better than what i thought i could do atm but at Same time im Like "man its still Shit"

[true hornet]

Connect where

[karmic jay]

tits are floating and the fabric/cloth is not connecting
hatching on almost every place is inconsistent
arms and legs are kinda looking like balloons/sausages
hair looks strange because the direction doesn't change even though it's being dragged behind the ear
crosshatching on shadow placements
too little shadows too; light source is inconsistent

that's what I could point out, I don't know if you want to achieve kind of a realism and I don't know if you really care about anatomy and physics. That said I think there are some fundamental things you could fix

[true hornet]

oh damn some i didnt notice but now that you mention it

tyvm tho

Like i Said Always Love critique

@karmic jay

[karmic jay]

that's great, I hope I helped

[spring ore]

I would appreciate if u have any comments I need to improve in my drawing

My insta is “ artsy.block” if anyone wants to follow🙈

[karmic jay]

what do you need help with? it looks really good

maybe some depth that could be created on the fur a bit BUT it's looking really good imo

[spring ore]

Thank youu!!

[worldly trench]

Hi, here's some daily sketch!

[spring ore]

adore your style

[kind delta]

Can you guys give me tips on how to make the water look more realistic?
If anyone’s interested my art ig its artz_dil

[tight birch]

I’m not an artist myself but just wanted drop by and say that all of your work look awesome 🤩

[karmic jay]

study of helmets I did last week
all from memory and the bottom one is a creation

I'm too scared to paint or finish anything, I must combat this fear

[rancid tiger]

I draw watercolors

[karmic jay]

https://www.watercoloraffair.com/the-secret-to-realistic-watercolor-painting/
Maybe this can help

[kind delta]

Thank youuu

[rancid tiger]

I'm not sure but through my previous drawings, you need to clearly observe the watercolor to distinguish, layering to create depth as well as white space to look more realistic, quite complicated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ctCJC6JhLU

[kind delta]

I drew everything with prismacolor pencils actually but it was still helpful thank youuu

[vestal geyser]

anyone do animation in here?

[karmic jay]

what do you need help with?

[normal robin]

Posted my first art piece on Rarible, it is one of 5 other digital artworks in a body of work I called "otherworldly" it follows themes of post-modernism and post-structuralism and was inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5".

Gethsemene was the Garden in which Jesus prayed in prior to getting crucified and I wanted to depict themes of human suffering in this specific piece of work. I hope you everyone enjoys my works as much as I did making it. 🙂

Feedback would be nice

[lost mist]

o0o0h nice

guys new drawing

close up (kinda)

[delicate bridge]

Noiiiice ✨

[kind delta]

You guys are so talented at such a young agee😍 damn

[unborn pewter]

hey guys i've got an art assignment that needs to use acrylic paint but i have 0 experience in it what should i expect?? The closet ive done to it is watercolor or some oil but i failed badly at both

[hazy osprey]

It’ll dry faster than oil paint and because of that you can add more layers if the paint is dry. Though this can also be a disadvantage if you want to work on a more blendy work.

I have never tried oils though but that’s what I read from comparison between the two

[unborn pewter]

Ahhhh icic it’s fine then because my assignment asked for only element of acrylic so I could use other stuff like digital to do the rest easily niceeee

Thankss tho

[lost mist]

thanks!

[spring ore]

@spring ore NAHH THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! @normal robin @kind delta why yall are not famous 😭you guys are so talented! ❤️ draw mee 😂 😄 😊 Big hugs

[normal robin]

pay me

[kind delta]

Thank youuu ❤️❤️

[delicate bridge]

LMAO "draw me"-- our favorite phrase

[kind delta]

Lmaooo but I think that person said that as a compliment idk

[delicate bridge]

oh yeah im sure ahhaa

[spring ore]

Thank youuu💙💙💙

[granite shoal]

@karmic jay here's a lil progress update of me trying to figure out what pencil grades work well together.. I ended up using a random Google image as my model.. and since I know you're wayy more experienced with this type of thing, I would love it if you critique the hell out of my drawing, thanks hehe

[karmic jay]

hey, it looks good! I would like to know your drawing process. Also, what style would you like to draw? I never asked it, I think.

[granite shoal]

idk I kind of just sketched out an outline with an F-grade and then went in with more grainier pencils like 3B and 5B to add texture (I smeared graphite on the edges for the shadow effect)

I have no idea what style I'm going for, possibly realistic and nature-focused works 😅

[lost mist]

you should do layers of shade (lightest to darkest) gives it more smoothness and clean look, and only use dark pencils when necessary (not on unwanted areas. Hope this helps! but id draw to many human body parts or humans, i just love to use graphite. LOL

looks pretty gud tho ngl

[granite shoal]

ahh okay thank you! I'm struggling with the lighter shade pencils in my set.. it feels very scratchy like I can't draw smoothly with them- I'm using the Staedtler 12-pencil set btw

[karmic jay]

@granite shoal I recommend looking into geometry first

the geometry/planes of the subject you are drawing

BUT first you need to draw in simple shapes like cubes and circles

[granite shoal]

do you know where I can find some geometry resources?

I'll try

I think I recall a 100 box challenge that drawabox has, idk if its free tho

[karmic jay]

+- this

[karmic jay]

I think it is

[granite shoal]

woahh did you draw that yourself?

[karmic jay]

no

[granite shoal]

ok cool I'll look into it!

[karmic jay]

this!

like, simplifying the subject

with faces and planes

[granite shoal]

that looks difficult 😅

hmmm I think I need to practice the proportions of the mouth/facial region and practice the shapes/planes as you said

also it seems like the shadows are key to drawing human features, so I may need to look into that as well

[karmic jay]

that's why you have to understand the solid shapes first

[karmic jay]

not yet

shadow is something complex if you don't study geometry and form first

[granite shoal]

yes you're right I need to take it step-by-step lmao

@karmic jay hey zeni what would recommend me to do for a drawing warmup?

[karmic jay]

a lot of lines. Small lines, big lines, curved lines

try to re-create the same line over and over, like a pattern

same length

circles too. Try to do a "perfect" circle, with the beginning being connected to the end

make at leas a whole page of it

[lost mist]

try using the flat side of ur pencil, gives smoother shades

[granite shoal]

thank you, I’ll try 😊

[lost mist]

[next violet]

Hey guys what do you think?

[tepid sphinx]

I am not proficient enough to critique your art but I love how you’ve captured the warmth in their eyes.

[next violet]

thx, it's bc in the picture the sunlight is hitting them directly to their faces so

[boreal anvil]

horse.

[karmic jay]

her nose is too much to the side, it looks wrong

the hand (right one) is too soft, it looks like an unfinished bread?

[slender palm]

horses dont have hands. they have legs i think

[next violet]

this is the reference image

[slender palm]

hands have 5 fingers

[karmic jay]

of course, I was not talking about the horse

[slender palm]

ah fuck off. my english is pretty shit

i love you man. your the sexiest man on this discord

[karmic jay]

you can see the highlight and a tiny little bit of the septum and even little of the left nostril

your drawing is giving the wrong impression, the side looks flat and it doesn't look it's turned, but fully in side because of the shading and the almost no difference in light

[next violet]

k something else?

[karmic jay]

I think her face is a bit wider than it should be

but it looks really good

like, it's gorgeous

[next violet]

i was giving it an 8/10, but after that i guess 7/10

[next violet]

thx

[karmic jay]

I give it an 8/10 imo, the colors are a bit too strong but I liked

[next violet]

damn you're the unique kind of persons that can actually tell me more than a straight point tat I could care of the next time

[karmic jay]

also for the hand, just doing this bone bump will help I think

it will add 3dmentionality to it

[next violet]

yep i'm gonna make it man, th really

[karmic jay]

I really liked the guy's face, the hard shadow looks amazing, great job

[karmic jay]

we're all going to make it

[karmic jay]

if you need anything just @ me 8)

[next violet]

i did it while streaming it so i didn't pay that much attention while doing it, so i think I did the best I could for this time

[next violet]

of course I will

[slender palm]

man tbh i would give it an

[next violet]

idk man I can't solve it

[slender palm]

should be approx. 9

[next violet]

k thanks

[kind delta]

Idk how old you are but I think your proportions are really good esp the girls. I think you used colored pencils. With colored pencils u have to work very lightly and gently because you cant really blend them otherwise.

And oil based or wax based pencils really make a big difference in your drawings. Big sets are expensive and too much for a beginner, who has no experience with these pencils. But you could buy a small set.

I would even give it a 9/10, its the pencils that dont perform well not you, you did well with the choice of colors though

[warm siren]

does anyone have any tips for indesign? i have to layout a whole book til june 7th for a uni project and i can't figure out how to do it right 🥺 if you know any good step by step or ANYTHING REALLY pls tell me im desperate T_T

[karmic jay]

what are you designing/have to design?

[next violet]

Yep I used colored pencils, I’m 16

[next violet]

Thanks, I use prismacolor junior, the 24 set literally

[kind delta]

Yupp but if you want to level up your game I suggest you using the premier ones. Its more expensive tho but totally worth it

[leaden lantern]

Uhh i need to do some comic strip for my homework but i dont have any idea what can i do

[next violet]

Idk dude, I feel like if I can’t do some good stuff without prismacolor premium then I don’t deserve them

[next violet]

Maybe about a video game, a little story

[leaden lantern]

Oh good idea thank you

[next violet]

I once made a story with brawl star characters, ever since I didn’t want to create by myself characters

[karmic jay]

what is your homework about?

[kind delta]

Youre good tho

[normal robin]

CRIT

i forgot how to draw muscle on men

[delicate bridge]

Layout a whole book? are you only creating the design aspect of it or are you given a whole copyright file that you have to design around? Maybe give us a rundown on what u need to do.

[warm siren]

my teacher gave us a novel's script and we have to do the layout and design using indesign

[warm siren]

⬆️

[delicate bridge]

Does ur professor want u to make a Document file or Book file? I'm personally not familiar with using Book file in InDesign. I only know Document but u can still set up a whole novel with it as long as u're familiar with setting up Master pages which makes designing process so much faster and Guidelines for how you want the text structured throughout.

[warm siren]

we can use a document file. i know the basic of master pages but that and all the styles and stuff sometimes are really confusing

i'm really terrible at everything that involves editorial design :c

[delicate bridge]

May I ask what the novel's script is about? Have u picked out a theme?

[lament mulch]

What kind of styles are u trying to use?

[spring ore]

guys !! what's your favourite brushes in procreate? and why?

[tall violet]

I'm obsessed with the texture you created for the hard shadows!!

[normal robin]

give off a very soft tone wich fit my cloudy theme and art style

easy to shade with it due to the blur

go very well with my line weight

the cons would be that its tough to use

filling in leaves spots behind

erasing it cause the softness and blur to go away sooo you can re do too much

if you you use transform tools it will get even more blurry

[spring ore]

i gotta try this one thanks a lott

[next violet]

Thx

[vapid peak]

hi everyone! so im an artist who is switching from autodesk to procreate. So far i love procreate but i dont understand how to blend colours, can someone explain?

[final gust]

All you have to do is use the smudge tool!

[vapid peak]

oh thank you!

[warm siren]

hum...idk? 🥺

[kind delta]

Looks amazing

[molten frigate]

thanks!

[kind delta]

Youre welcomee

[feral compass]

what do you think about this luminous art?

[karmic jay]

cool light, but no shadows

and it is kind of difficult to understand where the light source is coming from

[normal robin]

arm and muscle crit?

[karmic jay]

all the group muscles are missing and the brachioradialis is too bulky + wrong place

the proportion is kinda strange too, the deltoid is too small imo

https://schoolbag.info/biology/anatomy/anatomy.files/image268.jpg

this is better

[sharp canopy]

Hello~ I have a question to who does 3D art, have you used 3D max? And is it possible to work on mac because I heard it works for Windows TvT

[karmic jay]

the extensor digitorum is missing too

[karmic jay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLU_nRvcw68

[sharp canopy]

Yaaay!!! Thank you so much! I appreciate your help

[karmic jay]

np

[spring ore]

Thoughts?

This is oil paint

[karmic jay]

very nice

[granite shoal]

I’m not an artist per say, but I really like the way the colors complement each other and the way you made the bricks look kind of overgrown 😌

[eternal geyser]

Hey I have just started sketching as a hobby but I don’t really know from where to start and end (the sketch) and would like advice on other things in sketching as well.All dms are welcome .

[wide island]

they say to just paint the stuff as it is, not what you think it is

like you trace the outline of the stuff u wanna imitate, instead of drawing the symbols that represent the thing

for example:
you dont draw a stickman, you draw the person

you suck at first, cause you just started duh lol
i suck at first as well

but if you are really dedicated, you'll get better with time

that's my 2 cents on the thing

[eternal geyser]

Hey,do u think that I should use any specific tools for it and what r your recommendations?

[wide island]

you have a pen/pencil and paper? it's enough to start

just do something
present it
then someone will appreciate it 😄
hopefully, that appreciation will boost you up

that's just my opinion

[eternal geyser]

Haha thank u buddy

[tropic mantle]

Hi : ) what do you guys think? im pretty new to shading and i feel that this looks a bit flat

[spring ore]

I started by drawing portraits of celebrities from movies or TV shows I loved

Like my first one was ryuk from death note

Just an HB pencil and A4 printing paper

Then I got set of 6 Artline drawing pencils (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, 10B)

And an A4 drawing file

Different shades of pencil can help with darker tones

[spring ore]

Here's a collage of all I made so far. Latest is of Venom

[rapid kettle]

Damn dude u got some sexy skills

[spring ore]

Thanks all!

DM me for pencil sketching tips or send me your WIPs for suggestions

[eternal geyser]

Sure thanks buddy😊

Btw your sketches look really good 👍

[karmic jay]

it looks good but you certainly need to add more values

all the shadows are too soft

[topaz wigeon]

^^ more contrast in the hair would really help (darker strands and shadows from hair)

i love how the shading on the face's skin looks tho. super soft and relatively well blended together. the lips could use a more solid line for where the mouth opens but it also depends on what style you're aiming for

[spring ore]

Thar professor is sexy, you should draw Berlin

[west rock]

The professor in pajamas though

[pine crag]

anyone want help w music theory?

[limpid fable]

love the artwork here

[gentle fossil]

Any tips on how to make free hand PERFECT lines? Badly need help

[spring ore]

i love thiss

[hallow shell]

@gentle fossil you drew that hand free ? 😯

[gentle fossil]

Yuup, any tips🥺

?

[hallow shell]

That looks so perfect just like you drew it with a ruler, how awesome !

My tip for drawing straight lines has always been: drawing using the strenght movement from your shoulder (long lines) or from your elbow (shorter lines), depending on how you want to portray the line

[gentle fossil]

Naaah asked my prof bout it said itstll needs consistency lmao idkwtd

[gentle fossil]

Thaaaaankiyoooooooo😘

[tulip moon]

does anyone have any tips on painting lips (oil paint)?

im currently trying to pain the girl with the pearl earring but i can't get the lips to look good

continue doing until you're satisfied

you will eventually get better

no way around

[spring ore]

wanted to show some progress

[tall violet]

Does anyone have any tips for 2d animation? Specifically with animating clothing?

[vocal edge]

Can anyone help me rig a bowin blender

So far I am not having a success

[lament stratus]

Maybe, big maybe, try making lines with a pen. We tend to over correct when using pencils. And maybe that finalty of a pen is something that might help. Idk.
When we used to draw buildings and inner perspectives our teacher recommended pen over pencil, because with the pencil and eraser thing one tends to fuss too much over a line. Idk.

[upbeat barn]

very pretty :)

ah yes, thats a good idea! 😍 will you color it later on, as well?

ah understandable, ye it already looks very nice like that so yea :D

[upbeat barn]

[blazing coyote]

arimura. the name suits her character design

[blazing coyote]

[normal robin]

cloud is the theme thats why

[blazing coyote]

[delicate bridge]

ty beb

[normal robin]

well thank you

there an entire love story that im working on

[unborn pewter]

Dudeee how do u draw blood man I’m struggling so much to make it look gluey

I’m on procreate anyone know what brushes are better to do blood

[delicate bridge]

honestly, u dont need a specific brush. Idk how procreate calls their brushes but I just use hard round or hard stroke brush to draw out where the blood will be. Then to shape it out, use a low opacity or soft eraser to shape and fade out how I want the blood to look. I'll try to find the closest a video closest to how I do it.

**Consider: **
Is it dripping from a source? was it splattered? what direction was the splatter? Where will it leak to? (if it's like from nose to mouth, the blood would go all over the crevices of the lips then down to the chin as gravity pulls) is it dried or fresh? If it's being smeared, it'll be streaky, etc. etc.

This'll do. She's got it going in speed paint but tbh, you'll get the gist of it just by watching--at least I feel that way >_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl4iJTxC9v4

music is art, right?

[karmic jay]

yes siiir

[paper current]

hey guys... i REALLY don't know much about artistic drawing or ever anatomy and stuff. this person was supposed to be a pilot, i guess (yeah i've drew a "helmet" cause idk how to draw hair.) but i don't know what i'm doing anymore lol
i'm gonna cry, does anyone have a material for me to improve my drawings? I'm suffering to do the art activities
(please don't laugh at my wonderful pilot.)

[delicate bridge]

it's a good start! I think this looks nice as it is. Is there a reference photo and r u trying to aim for realistic look or semi-realism?

[north condor]

Very new to digital drawing, a quick sketch I made between lessons

[paper current]

oh thank you 😂
so... my goal is for it to be semi-realistic and i've kinda just took the idea out of my head, i didn't use any reference photo

[paper current]

wow. this is so good, loved it

[delicate bridge]

me likey

[delicate bridge]

highly recommend to always start with basics if u wanna get to semi-realism. It's a tedious process to go step by step but basically "Learn the rules to break them" type of scenario

[spring ore]

I'd go straight into studying shading / lighting with basic objects especially spheres and then you can study the anatomy of the skull if you want to get better at faces and heads at least that's what has helped me

[delicate bridge]

Learn shapes, 3D shading, and sure u can try to jump onto drawing ppl immediately but anatomy is hard when u dont get the base down, especially the concepts of shapes. Depends how u wanna learn it in order but I would add perspectives soon cuz it helps with creating dynamic poses look even MORE dynamic lmao

it hard but it's fun!

[north condor]

Thanks for the tips! 🙂 It's a little hard for me to lose the pencil and paper feel, but I believe I will get used to it later

[paper current]

yeah, I really think this will help me. sometimes i don't have time or i get lazy...... but I really want to improve so i'll start studing hard from the basics, i'll try my best to stay motivated :)) and thank you again!

[vale lagoon]

whats a good 3d model program thats free? i wanna make some fashion designs and i have no idea what to do. (i tried clo3d and that shit was too hard

[karmic jay]

good old Blender is perfect

[vale lagoon]

bet

is it easy to use?

and do i gotta download other models?

[royal fern]

try 24 fps/2 frames per second. focus on timing and maybe even try copying animations that have anything flowy (clothes, hair, w/e)

https://youtu.be/JKSeADfrd94 it not lit but i got it done

[karmic jay]

yes and no, but you can download other models very easily

oooooooo! I like how this piece still has a really traditional/sketchy feel. Personally, I think it's really cool and unique when digital art still has a traditional touch to it. I also really love the concept!

Another quick sketch that i liked

[delicate bridge]

Me likeeeyyy

Maybe it's just me but I recommend using a lighter, mid-tone gray rather than ones nearing black on the gray scale. The one I tend to use is this hex: #959595 . Especially since u're using black to sketch, the visibility will be better 👍

Either way go ahead

ty anyway

[spring ore]

Good luck m8

[paper current]

[delicate bridge]

I'lll see if any of my music friends know but I can't guarantee

[delicate bridge]

overall I think it looks fine! I think some frames can be added more (or revised) at the beginning for ur OC. Some anatomical/proportion criticism: ur OC's torso may need tweaking (especially the first seconds of frames.) Correct me if im wrong (anyone), I feel like Ushi's upperleg/quad wouldn't be visible in this angle even if he's squatting. I think the way his calves already shift is enough to indicate he's prepping to catch the volleyball serve.

[delicate bridge]

What looks better:
Should I keep the highlight or keep it solid on the hair?

[lost mist]

highlight

looks better

😄

[spring ore]

Yep

[lost mist]

wo u guys so good at digital art, i havent even touched a ditital program to do art

something that has to do with religion, or anything in common like nature, wildlife etc. the colour pallete plays a important role in this type of painting

Learn to draw
It brings tutorials from yt in an organised manner and you dont actually have to use yt and you dont get distracted

[deft depot]

Thank you so much,means a lot🌼

[deft depot]

You look in youtube,,just search the charecter u wanna draw...there are numerous tutorial videos

[strong rivet]

help

[spring ore]

Same

[delicate bridge]

help on...? Only thing I can suggest is flip ur canvas to fix any issues u didn't see prior (flip horizontally if using photoshop or reflect ur canvas if that's how it is on other softwares to see another view of ur art)

[karmic jay]

more tones I guess. It looks too close to each other

[strong rivet]

who

[karmic jay]

the tones

on the paintings

[strong rivet]

Tones look to close to each other? what?

[karmic jay]

in scale

your tones are too close imo

[strong rivet]

and?

its not bad.

why i should have not like this? lmao

[karmic jay]

you said "help" and this is the way I am helping

it is your choice to think if it is helping or not

[karmic jay]

yes it isn't, but I think it could get better with more different tones

I think = opinion

[strong rivet]

i know, i just ask why you think so

[karmic jay]

because I think it would look better and it can add more three dimensionality
better = more realistic

[spring ore]

https://tenor.com/view/jme-rocketsans-the-shandy-dog-fortnite-dab-gif-15479795

[delicate bridge]

yeah, agreed. Adding more values to your grays will add more depth. @strong rivet U've got the base details down, now just add more to it so u can show more details like the darkest shadows, midtones, etc.

[spring ore]

Open mindset

[strong rivet]

something wrong with: ass

It's not realistic

the trunk should be turned more strongly, and the right arm, depending on its position, is less visible.

you cannot turn your head in this position of the torso

The body has a muscle(anatomy) and we have plays where's shadow always in Some plays, learn it in internet(anatomy)

Because your shadows too not well

[normal robin]

help…

fat check

[karmic jay]

with?

[normal robin]

angl

and poportion

feels like shes abit too short?

[karmic jay]

it doesn't seem like perspective is really used here tbh. I know it is only a sketch but I think it's the most important step to make a believable drawing

[normal robin]

i mean

shes looking down

at us in that angle

[karmic jay]

yeah but it looks more like symbols than cylinders on space

[normal robin]

oh yeah that helps...

[cold yew]

hi, anyone here knows how to use After Effects?

Guys what are oil paint necessities? I have brushes, oil paint but I know there are mediums like paint thinner and stuff

But idk which brand is affordable and good

And what type of paint thinner I need

[karmic jay]

imo the first or the last one. The first one has "more" to it because of the little mushroom on the top right side but the last one seems more real

[spring ore]

[spring ore]

will go with third tyty

[delicate bridge]

hey bb, if u need further explanation, i dont mind talking in dms. Im also learning anatomy and the biggest help so far for me is Michael Hampton's book "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention." Here's my take on urs:

Imagine the upper body as 2 3-D squares that always open up depending on the spinal curve.

I really like ur shading btw

[little loom]

Oooo wow

Thanks a lot man

That helps me a lot

[delicate bridge]

💚

[delicate bridge]

bruh what this i love it ✨

[elfin iron]

Hey) I Know)

[cold yew]

cool, I'm trying to upload an image but I only want it to last a few seconds, is that possible? A tried to shorten it the same way I do it in Premiere but it won't let me.

[elfin iron]

Yes, you want just cut the video or u want to speed it up?

[cold yew]

none hahaha, i just want to adjust the duration of the image to a few seconds (my video i going to be around 30 seconds to 1 minute long more o less)

do you know if that is possible? since I haven't found the tool to do that (I just opened the program yesterday for the first time ever, maybe I didn't see it)

[little loom]

Thanks for telling my mistakes

I m soo happy that i joined thizz server

[delicate bridge]

So if u're trying to do perspective, u may need to amp up some things a little bit more because even though shes looking down, it's kinda falling flat cuz nothing else is helping with the angle. What u have now is good. Here's just my take on it. I've changed the leg pose to add on to the perspective a bit more and just making it dynamic (I have some anatomical preferences so take what u will from this 😅). @karmic jay maybe u can add more to this idk

[spring ore]

Nice

[lost mist]

very cool, srry cant give u feedback im not really good at drawing humans, so to me that looks perfect

idk if u were looking for feedback anyways, but oh well

man, the reflection work is craaazy

[lost mist]

on which one?

[charred hazel]

yellow and red one

[lost mist]

oh thx

[karmic jay]

superb fren

[karmic jay]

you did a great job to explain it imo. I can add some more by showing thid

I did it in like, 15 minutes and it's a clear example of how perspective can dictate the right dimensions and space of the human body

and I think it helps in almost any drawing, not just this one specifically

I just placed some boxes and added the gesture

I know it does not help saying "uuh so ez lol"

but it is very much easier to do it right than to do a """lazy""" job and not studying the fundamentals

[delicate bridge]

Yeah I feel the same lmao , yellow and red r my favorite at immediate first glance 😄

[karmic jay]

also @delicate bridge thanks for @ me, I really like to help people here 8)

[deft citrus]

Hi I’m new here 🙂 does anyone have any tips how to make the colour scheme of each character fit together better as a group? Especially with purple girl I don’t think the colours fit together with the other characters

It’s a commission so I can’t change any of the colours too much from what the person asked for

Hopefully I’m making sense 😅

[karmic jay]

@deft citrus how do you think her burple doesn't work?

[deft citrus]

She just kind of sticks out since her colours are quite cold where everyone else has like warm browns in there somewhere

Like she’s in a different kind of lighting almost

[karmic jay]

maybe less saturation on the color?

[karmic jay]

I understand

[deft citrus]

Also any other critiques (anatomy or anything) are welcome haha

I’ll keep tinkering with the colours 🙂

[karmic jay]

the illustration is great imo @deft citrus

but if you feel like changing it, go for it

I personally cannot help too much, I think there is nothing really wrong with it

maybe it's the lack of "real" background? like, if they where on a forest or something it could look better

[delicate bridge]

yeah I think the illustration is rly nice as it is. The lighting on the icy-purple skinned girl makes sense with the rest imo. The directional lighting seems to be above and to the right which is shown on all of them just right 👌

If u used photoshop, u could even play around the lighting more under Filter > Render > Lighting Effects to see if u wanna exaggerate it more or look at it in different types of lighting (if ur PC permits. I cant use it often cuz of my poopy graphics card * cries * )

[next rampart]

Hi art peeps, I have a bit weird question, but is it okay to have nudity drawing is your portfolio?😭
I feel it may confuse some people, but like... I have a really nice one that represents my style and my drawing ability so clear! It's not an art portfolio, it's more about web development, but it's under the section Digital Drawing....
Did anyone have resolved the same problem?

[karmic jay]

to answer, it depends @next rampart

what is your portfolio about?

if it is about drawing people in a scene, then maybe

[next rampart]

Web/Game Development, but because I dont' have much to show from my sphere I'm tring to show my best sides that might be helpful in Game Design too

[karmic jay]

if it is a game development, then maybe no

like, not because it is "illegal" or something

but there is no purpose to see a nude drawing when you are trying to show your programming/designing skills

maybe if it is ideas based on a human naked body, like playing with anatomy, then maybe yes

[next rampart]

it's a good point! hmm.. I'm just afraid I don't have much to show other than that in terms of design, but thanks anyways! I'll think about it a bit more

[karmic jay]

then do it more! I understand the struggle but maybe this shows how much you lack and you can use this as a boost

to create more

[next rampart]

Fair enough! I will try that

[normal robin]

Oh thank you

[sturdy meteor]

that looks SO good!!!!
I love it

Hey guys, do any of you have recommendations for beginner cameras? Specifically one that can be used for both video and photo?📷

[karmic jay]

my dad still uses the Canon one, I have used once and loved it

my dad is a professional camera man, he shoots photos and videos and this was his first camera

good enough for him, it might fit you too

Okay has anyone got ideas for an art project which has to to with sneakers and “perishable”?

[deft citrus]

perishable as in food?

can you make sneakers out of food 😂

sounds like a pretty cool project to me

[tropic bronze]

Yeah well its perishable like in food but for example fashion is also perishable

Dont know if thats the right word tho I looked it up bc I didn’t know how it was called

[deft citrus]

oh cool, so it could be related to trends that have gone out of style?

[spring ore]

Ayo that’s what I was thinking!!!

[hallow carbon]

i feel like theres an abstract link between function of sneakers as well like 'walking' cuz shoes take ppl where they want to go ? idk maybe that links somehow

[tropic bronze]

Yeah exactly because time is scarce

Maybe that’s a better explanation, it has to be related to the scarcity of time

So it could have to do with food, but also with clothing style, or culture etc

[hallow carbon]

fast fashion ? how theres like thousands of shoes w similar but slightly diff design

im just thinking of the 'walk a mile' saying lol

[tropic bronze]

That could be cool! Maybe ill add it into the design

[tropic bronze]

Yeah also a good idea! Don’t see any possibilities of making some art about shoes with it tho

[deft citrus]

what kinds of art are allowed? just 2d images or sculptural stuff

[tropic bronze]

Everything that can be handed in via google Classroom

And that is possible to finish in around 5 hours

Hi folks,
I'll be meeting up with a production manager from an animation studio based in LA, Cali. One of their recent projects have been: "Over the Moon" "Age of Sail" "June" "Dear Basketball" "Duet" and more. Their Founder, Glen Keane, was the one who created The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Beast, Tarzan, and Rapunzel.

So if curious! DM me or ping here what you're curious about in the animation industry. Will be meeting them in 2 hours as I post this.

[scenic tinsel]

Whoa

Looks great, anatomically speaking

[modern mulch]

the forearm looks short but otherwise pretty good!

[karmic jay]

nice

[granite shoal]

yeah haha I think I ran out of paper space 😓

[granite shoal]

thankss 😌

[spring ore]

Woah !

[spring ore]

woah that looks cool af

[spring ore]

Still cool as hell :0

[still timber]

hi y'all

i got sum new art

i guess

[shell whale]

❤️

[short nebula]

i love it

[fringe dagger]

this is super good, great job on shadows too i love it

[still timber]

thank ü

[still timber]

thanks a lot, btw those two had no references, was trying to be comfortable again doing it

[still timber]

and this man's from one of my dreams, he appeared for two consecutive times so i drew him

[fringe dagger]

i'm trying to stop drawing with references too but i catch myself going back to it every time cuz i fail. do u have any tips maybe??

[still timber]

maybe draw with ref for now and then do that drawing without ref after the first session

thats what i do when i get tired of references

repeat everything just from memory

[fringe dagger]

ima try this, tysm!

[still timber]

aight man! let me see that when its done

[fringe dagger]

cool i will! gotta finish these last 2 days of finals and then i'll have time to draw again

[deft citrus]

there's nothing wrong with drawing from reference 🙂

unless you've mastered anatomy and everything already

there's so much benefit to using references

[deft depot]

What changes should i make??

[stone cobalt]

That's soo cool, what kind of brushes do you use?

[slim ruin]

shading in the hair and eyes is pretty dark but there isnt as much under the neck, so i would give more shading under neck. also add more shading or creases in clothes? its coming out pretty cool though!

[deft depot]

Okayyy thank you so muchh☘️i will try it out

[spring ore]

my brother challenged me to draw Vegeta !!! and here’s the result

[still timber]

Good luck on that!

[still timber]

Yes!!!

[still timber]

I use the default brushes on Medibang, but the brushes I mostly use for renderings are the round brush and oil pastel.

I am now exploring the wonders of the flat brush hahaha

If anyone has an art twt here or ig let me follow you! ❤

u can find more of my art here:

thank you ❤️

[deft depot]

You're AWESOME 💕🌸🌸🌸😳😳😳😳😳

[spring ore]

omg thank you 💜

[still timber]

My bad, deleted it

[worthy hinge]

try shading the hair, too much white space is there and same goes with the neck
and also try defining the left eye (lateral inversion) a bit more

[upbeat gate]

i made three drawings last week, this is one of them

reflection. i have no interpretation for this.

drawing black people, is a whole different aesthetic in iteslf. this is the third one

[deft depot]

Okay,,thank youu

[worthy hinge]

try adding a brighter bg color and hints of different colder shades cuz i rly feel the canvas is a bit blank

and it'll also elevate the woman a bit more

[normal robin]

yes?

[normal robin]

he hot

[spring ore]

[wary mauve]

used to paint last semester, these were my last (both unfinished). but yeah... engineering and fine art don’t go together lol

but if anyone wants help with oil painting / realism... i got u 😉

[karmic jay]

very nice job

[wary mauve]

thank you!

[blazing coyote]

you better help me in the future then 😭 🙏 i chose art for my a levels and I'm not all that good at oilpainting

[slender timber]

I feel like engineers are always good at art!

[karmic jay]

sure they are, it's part of their job

[spring ore]

Love this to bits

so cool!

[wary mauve]

sure thing! you can message me anytime on instagram, i just use it more often @collar.ful

also😩 i heard a lot about a level art being so demanding. damn. i admire your passion in wanting to pursue it. best of luck!

[spring ore]

So pretty!!

[spring ore]

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nYkQ4o finished my lamps

[spring ore]

that didnt look dodgy at all lmao

[safe glacier]

hiii does anyone here know any good and free websites/apps to draw 3d-shape products??

[spring ore]

Hey anyone here can give me some advice on learning anatomy

[fringe dagger]

im still learning anatomy so idk if u should use my advice cuz i suck but using reference of a body when drawing is important if u wanna learn, u will then learn to memorise how to draw one i think ? i study visual arts i should actually know this 😭😭

[spring ore]

Np dude you can do it and thank you for your advice

[fringe dagger]

thanks and you’re welcome:’)

[spring ore]

You are the best dude thank you

[delicate bridge]

oooh I'll respond to u later LMAO. I'm also learning anatomy but I have some recommendations 😂 !! I'll respond during my work break

[spring ore]

Thank you

[wary mauve]

i’m not really big on 3d art but i’ve heard of tinkercad @safe glacier

[wary mauve]

woah. these are STUNNING

[wary mauve]

thank you!

[delicate bridge]

AAAAAAAAAAAH Sorry I got so tired from work that I friggin fell asleep after eating. Stupid food coma.

Anyways, when you're starting off in anatomy, you probably shouldn't jump on it immediately unless u're already comfortable with shapes and lines. I know that can sound like it's easy peasy but the more comfortable you are with those, the easier learning anatomy can be since almost every part of anatomy is broken down through said things.

Perspective (to show depth) and form (to create the illusion of 3D) can also help you with anatomy. These 2 basic concepts can be applied while u practice shapes/lines to get comfortable with them. Now to skip some things...

I'm currently learning a pretty simplified version of anatomy with this book: https://www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing-Invention-Michael-Hampton/dp/0615272819 along some other references but let's stick with this one for now. Even though I've studied anatomy before starting again, I don't think I've ever fully focused on the things he talks about in his book. It's perfect for beginners because it's straight forward, simple, and it gets you where you need to be. In his book, he also breaks down shapes and lines to see how it's implemented when learning anatomy.

Besides this book, when I'm trying to get a pose I have in mind, I tend to use myself as a reference because sometimes, despite the vastness of the internet, what you have in mind may not be exactly how you want on those pose references on pinterest, deviantart, etc. If you want to do quick practices, then by all means, find photo references on pinterest or just google images and try to break them down with the knowledge you have in anatomy to see the progress you have when you observe a person (at least in this instance, we are focused on human anatomy rather than animals and plants). Im talking about using actual photos of people rather than already broken-down anatomical drawings. However, trying to imitate those anatomy references can still help!

One more thing: when learning anatomy, don't worry about making the pose perfect. When you start to get conscious of how some parts look, it'll start affecting the way the person is drawn and it can start stiffening the look of their position rather than making it dynamic. You're practicing and learning after all so it's allllll good.

This is long, I know LMAO, but if you need more emphasis, I'm sure others here can chime in or if you want me to look at somethings to give feedback, my PM is open. Hope this helps! If not, then.. oops.

[spring ore]

didnt know you were into novel writing nai 👀

[spring ore]

Btw can I ask a question?

[delicate bridge]

IM SORRY

[delicate bridge]

Yes sir, u can

[spring ore]

As you said learning perspective would make it easy to learn anatomy should I do perspective simultaneously

[delicate bridge]

if you want to! i think it comes in naturally when u learn basics before anatomy tbh but if u want to do it with anatomy already, go for it. I think it's more of a matter of what you're comfortable with right now. You can try it out and see if it feels like you're okay with it. However, if it's overwhelming to learn perspective while learning anatomy, you should hold off and just learn basics of art with perspective, rather than with anatomy. U can learn anatomy without perspective but that lessens more options for you in terms of what you can draw. (Idk if im making sense. Im typing after my 1 round of workout im kinda dying--)

essentially, understand your pacing. I'm not sure what level u're at to tell you a more specific answer but yeah

[safe glacier]

okay thank you so much!!

[astral kernel]

pretty unrelated but do you have any recommendations on how to study perspective and form?

[tepid cove]

i made a shark

[spring ore]

oh very spooky

looks great!

love how he fades into the background

[granite shoal]

this is unbelievably helpful.. tysm!!

[hollow onyx]

did a sketch for like an hour and instantly gave up. opinions?

[scenic tinsel]

Damn, looks good

[hollow onyx]

any improvements i can do?

[true hornet]

right eye is smaller than left , blood from the eye doesnt flow / Look Like that and head is a Bit small compared to the shoulders

nose Looks a Bit weird since you are showing a Front View but the nose kinda Looks Like a 3/4 view because only one nostril is showing really

might be wrong on that tho

[deft citrus]

I really like how the fabric is coloured

[stable coral]

this is sick 👍🏽

[hollow onyx]

the 'blood' isn't blood, it's a red accent i added because i left it on grayscale and had to add contrast to break it up. thanks for the feedback ^^

i was also trying out a death note-esque art style

[tepid cove]

thanks <#
