I gave up in a week and went back to writing. It's more my style, ya know?

writing >>>>>>> drawing
all day every day

Show me what you can write then.

coming along great, keep up the work

Hey you have talent, nice

Hell no. I've only been doing it regularly for a year. Maybe one day I'll write something I don't think is horrendous, but until that day I'm keeping it to myself.

How to perspective? I don't want to keep drawing the same pose forever.

want to draw female torso correctly

have to sit through 200 pages of how to draw 1930s newspaper funnies bullshit

Just tell me what I want to know dammit

Draw things you like while studying in between and eventually you get to that mileage

Just draw a skeleton first. I don't know if that's how you're supposed to do it, but it feels right.

Cute

it took me like 4 years to learn digital (photoshop). now i'm learning oil and its extremely fucking hard and frustrating

Nice picture of Goku

Do something like draw-a-box instead to learn the fundamentals whilst drawing anime titties or whatever, if you hate fun-with-a-pencil that much

Please learn how to draw tits properly

thank you!!

Looking good, great faces

Don't be an Anon Babble fag. At least give the anon insight rather than just complain

I don't remember what Goku looks like so well.

How do you achieve consistency when drawing the same character from different angels with different expressions?
Every time I draw my guys they look like completely different characters

construction

I never really got why FWAP is shilled as the starter drawing book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and Art and Science of Drawing feel more intuitive as a beginner.

71-ON2DWWeS.jpg - 1000x1238, 157.69K

It teaches you construction in a fun way, in my opinion, shit like Right Side is more about unlearning shit like symbol drawing.

practice figure drawing and learn anatomy, ignore loomis caricature bullshit

Don't copy Loomis, apply Loomis

Nigga this tells me nothing

pro tip: just have fun lol

Is that book worth reading?

google it nigga

his tits are fine, fag

Yup. But you should def draw and practice too on top of reading. Japanese artists too recommed Loomis.

that already looks amazing, the one on the right is really cute

i started drawing 2 weeks ago after seeing that pewdiepie video about drawing every day.

anime head.jpg - 783x904, 109.81K

Nice, keep it up. You show talent

Is it fine for me not to give a fuck about perspective and posing if I only need drawing to make references for 3D characters?

No. Loomis is a meme. You learn by just doing it yourself until it clicks.

There's just too much stuff to watch, play, read, and music to listen to
I can't handle another thing occupying space in my mind
I'm going insane

I draw shitposts in mspaint 2-4 times a year so that I never improve and can keep the authentic soul intact.

She's cute but her breasts are too big.

start flipping your canvas so your character keeps symmetry when doing head on profile like that. All in all you have a good grasp of some of the basics, keep it up.

Attempt to learn how to draw.

Suck shit at it and have 0 fun doing it.

Attempt to learn Jap.

Actually have fun until I get to the grammar and kanji.

Slowly end up giving up.

I'm not cut out for anything except being mediocre at vidya.

Your post is too gay so it evens out.

grammar is kino though
it's the only part of the language that makes sense until you learn your radicals

Kek literally me
I've given up drawing too
I started learning JP again for the fifth time last week and I'm going to make it to kanji again and quit by the end of the month

wow, when did I make this post?

Actually have fun until I get to the grammar and kanji.

Wut. So you just did hiragana and katakana?

AI

That's me. I just don't have it in me to draw regularly. I don't enjoy drawing.

I want to draw though, not write a fucking novella of descriptions like I'm tagging a fucking booru post.

Fuck you

Yikes

Oh shit it's the evil girl phenotype
Great work anon

i get the urge to draw but i'm too cheap to buy a tablet, so i just draw with mouse occasionally
have a bing bing
i have no fundies

It's about the concepts, retard. You do the exercises, make the goofy 1930s faces, understand what he's trying to say, then apply it to your own (fun) drawing, then move on to the next lesson.

Game has major update that fixes all the major issues

Soul.

This is good shit anon

Buy a tablet. You deserve it. Wacom One M, standard paper size costs 60-80 bucks and lasts for decades

i like to draw.

drawn for 4 years

managed to get $300-$500 comms at my peak

started pivoting to 3D due to AI bullshit

now AI is catching up in the 3D space

I am this close to killing myself, I dont want to live in a world where the work I do is painting over AI illustrations or cleaning AI topology.

Based. AI is fun

That's sick as hell.

you drew that with a mouse?
get a tablet already anon

i'll look into it if they're that cheap now, i wasn't aware.
ty

Sorry to say it. But it will only get better

The answer always comes down to extremely niche furry fetish art.

I just think people who really know how to draw never properly explain the methodology on purpose because they are bitter and sad against the world

it's more something that you work through rather than read. But yes. You can find out for yourself, just search the title and you'll find free pdfs of it

Should've drawn for the passion and fun of it instead of the profit.

This feels like a personal slight, anon. Are you sure you're not bitter because you didn't understand something that was explained to you a few times?

I dont think it due to diminishing returns and all that shit. Instead, we will be stuck in a hellscape where you are expected to clean the sloppy elements of AI and work for less.
Picking up a trade would have more dignity.
I drew for the end result, and not the process. I enjoy putting stuff in my head on paper, or making money.

you niggers better learn that not a single reply is genuine here but only made to make you mad

nigga above?baiting hard

unironically 100% true. you pretty much have to sift through a lot of tutorials and "steal" only the useful stuff. rinse and repeat

bone.jpg - 503x250, 37.64K

Screen tablets cost more but screenless tablets are cheap and sturdy. If you already draw that well with mouse, you can adapt to screenless tablet easily. Don't fall for cheap chink shit though, Wacom is the top player in market because of consistent quality.

I call bullshit. People that commission you generally do so because they like your work specifically and they like working with you as a client. People that have so little standards that they would proompt for fap material would have already done so and never bothered commissioning people in the first place.

artists intentionally obfuscate how to draw because of reasons

that's why they put tutorials, guides and detail their process on the internet for free

???

I am not a porn artist. My clients were local businesses who wanted mascots in different poses for their ads, and now those boomers are all cranking out chatGPT bullshit.

looks great, very promising stuff

The world is full of free information and tools. If you cannot find what you need or find a person that can tell you what you probanly need, then it's your fault.

Nope. You should def take the money if people are willing to pay for the things you'd draw anyways. It also gives confidence to know someone wants your handcrafted product so much they want to pay you for it.

videogames?
go back to your dead board tourist

it's worth it to get a screen tablet if he has the money, screenless tablets caused me to give up on drawing multiple times because i could never adjust to it, but i was able to adapt to a screen tablet right away.

Oh. It's just another passive aggressive AI thread. Nevermind.

so true /beg/xister

If you want to make a living out of something you enjoy doing then that's completely fine. But if you reach a point where you want to kill yourself -as the other anon said- because you're losing your marketshare then you've long lost the passion you had for it.

The guy already draws with mouse and I doubt he stroked the mouse over his monitor

It wasn't always like this

bery nice

Metal Gear Solid 3 for me.

Let go.
Do only those that bring you joy and fulfillment. For me it was consooming chink portable consoles, bought about 20 of them when half the time I played Slay The Spire on my phone.

Sketchpage from yesterday.

Is it really that much of a stretch to get paid to do what you like?

I say this as a working illustrator, sometimes, yeah it is. Every other working person has to contend with job opportunities based on what others need from them, not what they wish to do with their time. Choosing a vocation that involves personal expression does not make you entitled to be above it all.

If you are willing to lower your standard of living then yeah anything is possible. If you aren't willing to make that sacrifice, other artists are, and you don't deserve the freedom they've earned for themselves.

Dont mind him, hes most likely trying to get even from that time i exposed a tracer/cheater and will call most of my stuff traced just because.

Actually i should probably take the fact he claims my doodle looks good enough to look like a traced piece as a compliment.

Newest one.

amay12.gif - 800x600, 804.73K

Considering the clothes she's wearing, it looks completely fine as is. Unless you're one of those guys that think every tit should be grandma-tier sagging at all times.

Game?

Honestly, I have no real issue with the way you draw other than the weird hair ball bangs that you draw that just look like butts.

Jar Jar Binks

If that kind of humor gets you going, you'd love the star wars christmas special

For the lads over at Anon Babble

WOOO! STAR OF PROVIDENCE!

humor

I regret to inform you that's not a joke, I was just listening to Keep Me Satisfied and that drawing came to mind.

No, it doesn’t. Her tits are defying gravity and her left one has no perspective. They should at least look like they’re resting on her chest rather than filled with helium and floating.

Her tits are defying gravity

It's called bras, that's what they do, they pull them upwards.

Yeah the lower half is the part that's fucked I'm gonna redo it

What, i like her asymetrical hair, while it gives me a lot of trouble when adding her on games, i think she looks adorable with those puffy hair bangs.

i love her

Consider using catbox.moe for sharing lewd art. Nice stuff nonetheless

Demoralizing/Bait. That's all every reoccurring thread here is, even experts will tell you not to start with loomis, he's for intermediates at best. You'll learn more by just YouTube searching "drawing fundamentals" and following beginner lessons from there.

no mariel

You sound bit obsessed. I'm the other boogeyman of yours

Never be afraid of using reference anon

It sure is. Coming up with animation ideas and sketching them out is a blast.
But then you're stuck having to draw dozens of pictures to make one finished piece, while making sure that every individual picture looks good and logical in motion.

Also: Audino is so cute and handsome!
An Audino doodle was actually my most recent vidya art.
Some anon was confused over how the TCG card having the "Find a Friend" and "Slap" ability made any logical sense, so I threw it together as an example. But the thread died before I had time to post it.

how do I paint like those chinese gacha artists

Leave animation to AI

It wasn't fear just a test to see if I could without it

draw using a reference

end result ends up looking way too much like the reference

never end up posting it in fear of someone figuring it out and claim it's traced or something similar

yeah, it's mostly a me problem but still.

How do anons give their digital drawings those paper-like textures? Flat colours look much better with them

I kneel

It's easy if you think in 3D, anon!

Ohio.png - 448x454, 110.81K

i havent drawn much today (im currently in the process but procrastinating with 4chinz)

create noise with tiny grains on a new layer or just download a paper texture from google and put it in overlay mode, decrease the opacity to around 10%

draw a circle!

add a line!

draw the rest of the ugly bastard!

Texture overlays, grain, etc.

Being ass at drawing and trying to get better has been a journey

maybe I should try again

Latest finished sprite

Gonna borrow one of those digital drawing tablets and give it a go.
Seems much more convenient

fun art after finishing nocturne

I want to draw more but I just dont. how do I get my mojo back? It doesn't help that when I do draw its mid af.

I hate them but bangin art

Very nice breasts anon

drawing in vr, a bit clunky at times

High sex appeal, but I feel like there would need to be some torso rotation for this to not be uncomfortable. Try doing the pose IRL and see how your neck feels

At first I thought that I'd like to be able to draw.
Then I realized that I don't really like drawing and that I would just like to be someone that can draw out of some sort of egoistical desire. If I really enjoyed drawing I would have naturally done it over my life.

So I gave up, feels great.

you draw wojaks you're not an artist

Depends on how skillful they're drawn, but we don't like 'jaks around here anymore after THE happening

no, stealing a real artist's work and doodling wojaks on it isn't art

PICTURE.jpg - 1200x682, 932.23K

What do you do when you want to try to get a creative outlet but the act of trying doesn't spark ant form of joy.
I don't want to grind just because I can say look at what I can do. I want to feel something when making.
It's why I tried drawing, writing, even a few instruments.
Am I some sort of soulless golem?

I am confused, since when are they ever drawn?
It's always the same copy and paste, zero effort garbage.
Frogjack cancer represents the downfall of meme culture and a lack of creativity or originality.

Is it me, or are they about to be overrun? That harpoon cannon seems like an overkill for those boars, and its firing rate is too slow. They would've been better of with regular guns.

i fucking love these lmao

p-please bring back our board...

There's a threshold of effort when it comes to art. If you exceed the threshold, then people take your art seriously and they'll ignore it if it's unremarkable. If you're below the effort threshold, then they'll treat it either as a joke/shitpost or look down on you to the point of giving insincere positivity. The only thing worse than being ignored is being persecuted for your art.
Also the algorithm will not be in your favor if you draw unpopular characters

Just started drawing daily like a week ago and realized how satisfying it is create an picture that I actually like.

The average social media user stays on a single post for just few seconds, shitty meme is easier to understand and appericate vs an art piece with complexity to it. Also if your not posting contantly the algorythm is barely going to show your shit to people.
Draw for yourself first and foremost, if someone else sees it then thats just a bonus.

whats the original of this?

This. I've seen many artists I like just burn out because engagement wasn't what they wanted. If you draw solely for clout/attention you will burn out like a candle in a hurricane. Draw for yourself and your own improvement and enjoyment.

Anime is easy mode drawing for plebs. You're no better than lefty modern artists that draw shit proportions and just say "but i did it on purpose because muh heckin style and abstract"

that's really cute, it reminds me of my old ass drawings i used to make when i was starting to draw consistently but yours is much better
keep it up

Anon Babble isnt ready for this truth nuke anon stop.

wojaks are more pleasing to look at than derivative anime garbage. Sincerely

Draw for yourself first and foremost, if someone else sees it then thats just a bonus.

Yeah I get that, It's why I started in the first place, to see art that I wanted to see. But still, it's nice to know that people out there are enjoying the art you make.

You. Don't. Draw. Faggot.

No, Anon Babble and Anon Babble aren't ready for this truke. Anon Babble already well knows this

It is but unfortunately social media doesnt give a shit and will bury unless you create enough engagement. Ton of people out there will not see your shit because the 1s and 0s dont think them seeing your stuff will drive engagement.
I suggest going on Cara, its basicly nothing but artists and your going to have easier time getting attention to your stuff than on places like Twitter.

I don't draw anime so I can't.
the term is d/ic/ks

Bro's I am getting ladder anxiety from art.
I want to draw, but I am terrified of picking up the pen.

Got done with this a bit ago.

file.png - 1081x782, 377.24K

what is there to fear? that your art will be shit? it will be, and there's nothing you can do to remedy that besides picking up that pencil
are you afraid of solving your problem?

afraid of solving your problem

Huh, I guess I am.

it's art because I say so, shut the fuck up tranny

see, you are just being stupid
now go pick up that pencil

realism =/= good
detail =/= good

I want to draw, but I am terrified of picking up the pen.

It will only get worse the longer you wait, grab a pen, start drawing, identify the areas you need improvement in and start studying. Either you start now or you will regret not starting several years in the future.

True art comes from the heart.

I refenced this (croped) image made by GGB/Ketzio of their character named amber. As they have been inactive for over two years now, I hope one day that I might be able to mostly replicate their artstyle, as there are really no other artist like them.

Thank you, glad you like it.

Dont just draw, study how other people draw and WHY they draw the way they do.

You know how you spend half of your day doing nothing but defaulting on a videogame or watching youtube slop, well instead of that you draw and fit in atleast a hour a day , hell you could even have youtube on a 2nd screen and still draw
You will draw nothing but shit for a while but there will be one day, maybe around a few weeks in where you look at what you drew and think "oh shit i made that"
Just be aware of the Dunning Kruger effect

wtf that artist is inactive? that fucking sucks i loved their art
well, good luck in your journey to draw like em it's a worthy pursuit

I thought it looked familiar. based

Just finished these last night

I had a similar experience as that anon, only my folks basically said, "Just turn off your screen next time." Even saw the sticky note that had notes for commissions I was taking at the time that said

vidya character (child porn)

About a day or two later, things went back to normal. I'm uncancellable now.

As long as you understand you aren't making a career out of this its fine

Needs to be fluffier.

they already gave up on you long ago

i'm so glad when my mom found my hentai art it was just a picture of samus

I like this a lot

What is the oldest drawing you still have? I burned just about everything I did in my teens years for some stupid reason and I still regret it to this day.

You did the right thing bro
seeing my old art is like a forced anxiety attack to me

I drew strictly devientart tier fetish shit in my early teens and threw all the drawings out from my disgust and clarity. I still have no regrets about this now at 21, but sometimes I do kinda wish I still had them so I can look at them and cringe

I picked this up recently so I have everything i've drawn up until this point, if we count everything ive ever done I have no idea where the shitty doodles i did in art class or the spaceship battles from my notebooks ended up, probably a landfill
I like looking at it to compare how far i've come, dunno if id feel different if it was art I made in my teens

my mom kept my drawings from when i was like 4ish. iirc its drawings of my family and goku.

I recently found my class scrapbooks from the second grade and it had a bunch of my drawings from then. I honestly never improved.

In didital format it is this one. I have drawn since I was a wee lad and my old paper drawings probably still exist somewhere back at my parents place.

I used to work at a kindergarden a few years ago, where I sometimes played this drawing game with some of the older children where someone would secretly draw a head in the top 1/4 of the paper and then bend the paper to make sure the next one too draw only knew where the neck was and then draw the torso, and then reapet the prosses with the legs and the feet. We sometimes accidentally create some pretty cool/weird looking monstrosities.

Peak.

I burn all my trad art every year on new year too but keep all my digital art neatly organized. This is my oldest sketch

something I've been working on for the past months, I lazy as fuck

My old deviant art has the oldest stuff left I drew. But I deleted half of it back when I was still using it
deviantart.com/karameruart

Thinking for a while now to use it again just archive my new stuff

can i just trace over the ocs i make i want to animate them sometime this century

Cool style

motorboating those pillows

You could try to look at animations or any videos really and trace over those, frame by frame.

i think this is the oldest drawing i have
it's from when i basically started drawing, i mean i've doodled before it when i was a kid obviously but this is when i started drawing consistently and actually tried to git gud

Finish it

not now, here a finished one.

who this character?

Finger doodle on phone. How over is it for me?

Keep at it fellas. I recommend learnin to doodle on your phone with the iPhone notes app. The marker tool always goes underneath the pencil/pen tools so you can use object eraser to get rid a the under drawin after makin your cleaning doodle. You’ll need to use your finger and that takes practice but it feels so stress free on your hand once you get it with practice. Double tap with three fingers and scroll up or down to zoom in and out. Pic related, a Sagat doodle I made in just minutes.

no, he sticks it in Tails

Did doodling with my phone a few times and I kinda don't want to do more.
Pic related.
It's very tedious for me because I draw it twice, once on paper and then on my phone
Spoiler because I fear the moderation

i'll draw it

I never really went far in my art endeavors, but this is the oldest one I actually put some effort into.

what
why do you do that?

Millions of hours in paint

i never get a shred of feedback when i post on Anon Babble. kind of seems like a dead board or they just don't like me.

raymoo2.png - 1200x1530, 351.01K

my sister always drew anime and likely porn so it would be a double standard if they said i couldn't do the same.

Did someone post Howie yet?

It made you seethe, so it's good art.

why does he look so evil?

low IQ reductionism

hammer ass, chicken pluck legs, cromagnon brow, distended gut

maybe if they didnt draw nucaitlyn with covered up cleavage people would respect the art more.

AI toddler reuses the same descriptive word because he's lost all his creativity prompting

Soul.

if you dont like an abstract picture run it through the ai and have it make a realistic version. its in your hands now.

I sate my appetite for anime by trying to draw cosplayers. That way I'm practicing realism and drawing what interests me at the same time.

fennec.jpg - 600x800, 94.34K

lately I found myself just doodling random transformers fitting to(?) beast wars, be it just random designs that comes to my mind or just cop- I mean taking "inspiration" from original designs.
Nothing too serious since I doodle them when I am loading a game.

This has been a surprisingly nice weekday thread, nice drawings everyone.

Funnily enough, my older brother also drew a lot when I was growing up. Dude was way, way more into cartoons and Anon Babbleshit though, while I ended up getting more into anime and manga and stuff.

Keep doing it anon

Personally I think it's a bit flat. Few cloth creases, values are very flat, the hair is a solid shape and doesn't really looks like hair. I know it's a standing pose but it could be much more expressive and detailed. I also think you forgot to draw her hand holding the stick

She looks cute and anatomically correct, and props for not drawing her in 3/4@ looking at the viewer.

Been quite a while since I've drawn, but here's my fav character from a game I've never played

Dora Ghosta.png - 2000x1636, 340.79K

my problem is that there are too fucking many tutorials and I have zero clue which ones are legit

Wait a second, I recognize that chubby Amy! I thought you were dead, man.

It's probably uncommon for one sibling to be into art and the other not be.
The lack of detail might be partly due to the small size of the drawing. It was drawn on 8.5x11" with rollerball. I didn't do any real gesture or construction so that's probably why it's flat and stiff and I don't know how to paint at all.

I keep putting off anatomy and gesture because it's out of my comfort zone. Drawing on 11x17" might be worth trying. Thank you for your review.

i posted it on Anon Babble earlier. not vidya though, but man, comic authors and mangaka have it rough. i rushed it in parts but it still took a long time and it was plenty exhausting

imtrcx.png - 1331x1856, 1.72M

lmao

neato. are you gonig to make a boob mousepad?

I have to be perfectly honest, your post is the first time that thought has even crossed my mind. It's not a bad idea.

we all gotta start somewhere, the more tutorials you watch the better you'll discern which ones are more effective.

yeah, you'll probably be re-learning a lot of "wrong" or unoptimal stuff along the way, but it's not wasted time, it just means you'll be avoiding those pitfalls in the future. but again, you gotta start somewhere.

Just draw, anon.

Watching tutorials is generally a waste of time. Every one minute of watching someone else draw should be replaced by 15 minutes of you drawing. Yes tutorials can be helpful, but they only show processes, you need to internalize the processes yourself by applying it

too busy to justify finishing this yet but here, a sketch I started

file.png - 511x723, 255.22K

I have no issues drawing every day but your post just reminded me I nearly forgot to do my calisthenics

why the fuck did these images load from right to left?

The key to drawing is to be extremely observant of the things you want to draw.
Want to draw an apple?
Take an apple and look at it very closely.
Soak in the shape the details and it's texture.
Remember these mental notes while using that reference.
You'll eventually get the looks of an apple ingrained into your mind over time from drawing many apples.

Yes
A huge chunk of drawing is just attention to detail

want to draw an anthro girl

Yeah and the process of doing that is like building up assets for video games, except the assets are all the details in your brain that you remember.

interesting

Just look at both female human body anatomy and whatever the anthro it is.
Like look at the anatomy of a fox for example.
Study them both very carefully and figure how to combine what you mentally noted from them.

Bruh there are brand new wacoms for 60 70 dollars on Amazon. Drawing tablets are very cheap nowadays.

Do you ever have that time period where you start drawing get really into it and then all of a sudden lose all will to draw or start drawing terribly all of a sudden relative to what you used to output? I should review material but I just dont have the time nor the focus, how do I convince myself to review fundies often?

all i have recently is this fucked up manul while trying out brush pen again

most tutorials feel like they're way above my nonexistent skill level
idk the worry of doing something wrong refuses to go away

You're absolutely right. Fun with a pencil is the worst teaching book, there are many better books that teach you the fundamentals. Even draw a box is a lot instructive

Still around, doin better than ever. Went from 297 to 217 in five months, have way more energy so I’m doodlin and studying new subjects like never before. I got so many that I just might go back to Shitter to dump my doodles so people quit buggin me about it.

image.png - 2001x1599, 715.38K

Anybody have tutorials on how to render like this?

Brad

draw from references and paint each layer over a couple of weeks

Does this book work on somebody with shaky hands?

idk the worry of doing something wrong refuses to go away

It only goes away by doing
trust me on this, condition yourself to not think, just do
I am also plagued by the paralyzing pre-action dread, there's no cure other than powering through it until you're too busy to remember it exists

I don't have to outside of pixel art. Ai amd photoshop can do any character designs I need now

Loomis is a book made for people who already know how to draw, dude already expects you can bring a drawing out of a basic shape when one is struggling to do a proper line.

loomis.png - 798x598, 96.26K

A source that I swear by to get people started that's a lot a fun is that Famous Artists Cartoon Course. It's in the public domain so it's fuckin FREE. And the best part is that it don't mold ya to draw one style, there's examples from at least a dozen prominent cartoonists from the period it was published so ya realize just how much creative expression there is even when followin the fundamentals.

archive.org/details/famous-artists-cartooning-course

309 pages, in its entirety, right here, in browser, an art resource handed to you on a silver platter. And by the way, all the fundamentals in this book can just as easily be applied to Japanese cartoon styles, too.

pyw or stfu

imagine how silly it would be if a person cut their veins open over not being able to draw well.

These remind me more of the beast machines run

Estrela Noche

Well they are 16 mb, maybe that has something to do with it

Good perspective not just from the angle of the body but the face as well

Couldn't think of a staff that wasn't boring.

thanks nigga, looks dope.

Based thank you.

bros i hate doing commissions i just want to draw my vidya fanfic

I saw a guy that did a render of meta knight where he slapped straight up a rust texture on it and then blended it in with the colors it looked really professional
Use a very blocky brush in general is all I really see off the bat

get a bunch of paper and ballpoint pens, you have basic aesthetic sense and colour use, now dedicate yourself to actually learning. suggesting paper and ballpoint pens rather than pencils or a tablet because beginners often become too anxiously perfectionist, erasing and redoing details over and over, and using a pen will force you to just make mistakes and move on instead of trying to polish things

Why not. I got nothing to lose.

Just do it? Or you need the money to survive?

So easy!

thank you anon, I've been trying to break the "character standing at 3/4ths" by at least varying the angle

starts simple enough

suddenly skips multiple in-between steps

that's an art tutorial alright..........

the owl.png - 530x453, 149.18K

Just switch to a money begging platform instead of doing commissions then. You'll get money on a monthly bases, it's easypeasy.

beginners often become too anxiously perfectionist, erasing and redoing details over and over

NTA but that's actually my problem right now, my brain just keeps begging me to skip the sketching phase and do the line-art phase from the start, because since the initial sketches are supposed to look rough and kinda crappy my brain keeps rejecting it. And obviously when I'm finished, the line art has a lot of these "small" problems all over, like it just looks wrong in some places. Been trying to slowly remedy this however but it's still rough.

Hahahahaha AI is going to destroy you

and that’s a good thing!

Hahahaha you’re seething!!! Lol lmao

Then take the schizo starving artist pill then anon.
Plenty of artist in history that just made art for themselves while barely making it by.

nsfw concept art for my weg game idea

I don't think I can join today. I had to fry today and the oil fumes fuck me up.

used to draw

now just do blacked edits and get paid for it

Uhhhh?

Again, my suggestion is get paper, just stock like, printer paper, the sort where you spend like 30 bucks and get a massive amount, and get ballpoint pens. Make it so the means you're using to draw feel inherently disposable, and that might force you to stop feeling so precious about every little detail. No guarantees it works for you, but it did for me and a few other artists I know.

what do you do when you're unsure what to draw?

Anons, I am currently making an erotic dialogue game (visual novel sorta) and am looking for a talented artist to make all of the character sprites and other sexual related stuff to go with it. Anyone have any recommendations on where to find starving artists to do this work for commission? I’ve looked at Fivrr but was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with this.

a bunch of random circles and lines for warm up

start with what you like, it helps to have a really specific autistic interest eg. cars, guns, sexy girls, videogames, genre fiction etc you get the picture.

everyone ITT is able to draw shit like this

Meanwhile I can barely hack out a coherent scribble

No wonder AIfags are so spiteful towards talented artists this shit is so demotivating.

i'll get around to it, i'm running out of excuses

i've a fulltime job

my room has no ac

i have no desk space

Do you have the 30 years of doodling and practicing before reaching those posts? If not, then no point beating yourself over not being at that level

study to understand it
copy it, trace it, put a layer over it and try to reverse-engineer the construction
