It's a workflow thing I am trying to figure out. Some people "sketch" in zbrush and skip the 2d part completely. For other people, they spend a long time designing in 2d before going moving on to a 3d version. Or some just use a mood / reference board vs. 2d concept art painting. Hell - more and more people are starting in zbrush and then painting over that for the final image. Good example of going from a 2d illustration to a 3d model. Design by Craola.   Why am I tweaking a painting, when I can make the model and then move a light? Also - a quick flyer. Not sure if I like it. Might be taking the band's name too literally.  sigma 6 fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Aug 17, 2017 |

You still haven't touched any of the issues people brought up last time you posted this sketch though, like how ears and hair are going to come directly out of bone - unless you already have a plan for that it might be too early to jump into 3D. Or not, I'm not sure how you work but there are a lot of areas in the sketch that look to me like you just sort of left as is, even though they don't make a whole lot of sense visually.  I drew these for an upcoming app.

a hole-y ghost posted:In this case, I suggested it because your drawing is from flat profile, which won't translate well to 3D. The example you posted worked well even though it's only one view because it's from an angle. The point of my suggestion is if you're going to spend a lot of time sketching 2D stuff for it, the time might be better spent getting several 2D rough-ish sketches, all from different angles. I totally get what you are saying. This is also what modeling sheets are for. However, if it is going to be rendered at the same angle, it shouldn't matter much. Sorta more feel like I can ideate / concept AND create the final product faster in 3d. Everything 3d except for the initial thumbnails and /or a medium sized value study. I feel like lighting and color are infinitely easier for me to create in 3d vs. repainting something over and over in the concept stage.

I haven't been doing a lot that's interesting, especially since I spent a fortnight knocked out with the flu from hell (get vaccinated folks). But I have been messing around trying to better understand lights and objects.  This was the result of trying to draw a person in very broad strokes.  I did a rough doodle before producing  a rework, however my values went wonky (too dark on the darks by far, hitting black) and by the time I realised that is after I realised I'd merged a bunch of layers and never unmerged them about 100 edits ago. I also noticed I'm moving heaven and hell to avoid drawing a hand, so I'm going to start making myself actually draw hands and arms in poses.

It might be worth making the information (Sept 3rd etc.) more prominent, versus having the big 'The Letters home' taking up all the focus.

Cool lighting effects, looks like a depth map. I would turn the snake's head so the silhouette reads better though.

What's everyone using for drawing here? I got a shiny new Yoga 720 and I love it, but I'm having a hard time finding a program I like. My art is mostly doodles and cartoon-like work. Nothing too detailed, though I want to be. ArtRage: This is what I used when I was trying and failing to use a traditional non-screen drawing tablet years ago. The program hasn't changed much. I dislike how it wants to be a fine-art program and I don't like the UI in general. Sketchable: This was recommended by Microsoft, which is why I tried it out. It was great, but it kept crashing, and after I used other programs I realized how barebones it was. The interface for opening new documents was awful; it used this "journal" system that tried to emulate a real sketchbook, i.e. everything inside it was the same size and couldn't be changed. Krita: I love that it's free, but I hate the UI. Really impressive that it's free, the developer must put their heart and soul into it. Autodesk Sketchbook: This program is fantastic, with one pretty big drawback. In all other programs I've used, I can set it so that using the pen lets me draw, but I can use my fingers to move the canvas around and zoom in and out with pinches. I can't find a setting like this in Sketchbook, and I've found support posts saying to simply to turn off the touch-input hardware-side. There's a Windows 10 Tablet version, but it looks much less feature rich and kind of annoying to use. There are barely any options or customization. It's a shame because the Windows 10 non-tablet version has a nearly perfect un-obtrusive UI. If there was a Pen Mode for the desktop version I'd be in business. Clip Studio/Manga Studio: Great out-of-the-box tools for line work. Autodesk Sketchbook doesn't have nearly this range of options, at least not without making some custom brushes (a daunting task) or finding a set of custom brushes I like (and I haven't found ones that match Clip Studio's yet). Digitally inking a sketch just feels right. The drawbacks are that it's not super-friendly to use and the UI takes up a lot of screen real-estate. I don't need the comic and animation-helping stuff enough to spend an extra $200 on the EX version of it. These are just my opinions, of course. It's a toss-up between Sketchbook and Clip Studio for me. Are there other programs I should give a chance before deciding on learning the ins and outs of Sketchbook or Clip Studio?

I like clip studio when I'm at my desk and procreate when I'm laying around with my iPad, I still like the tools more in clip studio but the ui in procreate is better than any mobile version of an art app I've tried so far. I think you can change the UI in CS to be more mobile friendly but I haven't done it before

I used to use Mischief for drawing on my Surface Pro, but became really bothered by the lack of a few features and the program really seemed to slog along at times. Now I use Leonardo, which more or less has everything exactly how I want.

To poorly paraphrase Orwell: all art is a horrible, exhausting struggle, and the only reason one undertakes it is because one is driven by some inner demon that you can neither resist nor understand.

I've settled on Autodesk SketchBook. The minimalist interface with strong toolsets and excellent control with just the pen (tap the layer palette and swipe up for a new layer, for example) makes up for the fact that I can't scroll the canvas with my finger. I'm interested in your Krita layout if that's a thing that's able to be shared in that program though!

I'm stuck using the ink brushes on it until the day I die, I just love them. You can pay 30 bux to get the pro version if you like, there's a couple of extra things with it. The biggest thing I have to say for it though is this : I have never, ever, not even once lost a piece I was working on to a crash. I've had the program crash several times, but even if you can't save what you were working on, the program remembers what you were doing and asks you if you want it restored when you restart it from a hard crash.

Nothing too detailed, though I want to be. I use SAI, it's pretty simple and easy to use (I find photoshop's ten thousand options overwhelming) and it feels the closest to drawing on paper for me. Only problem is the lack of filters etc. so if you want lens flares, you have to truck it into photoshop or the like in the end.

For the guy drawing 100 hands, if you're not having fun doing it I wouldn't force yourself to do something that dull. You might have more success if you work on finishing pieces, forcing yourself to work through tough spots with a mirror/reference when you need it, but at least ending up with something to show for your efforts (just don't skip/hide stuff you find scary). I always feel like I learn a lot more from a fully finished piece than any number of sketches. Drawing should be fun, I have no clue how anyone would learn it if they wreent having fun Also for hands in particular it can also be good to look at how other people draw them, there's a load to learn about the gestures people use or ways they simplify shapes in hands that goes beyond anatomy

Drawing should be fun, I have no clue how anyone would learn it if they wreent having fun I'm mixing and matching. Drawing 100 straight hands would drive me insane, so I'm just doing a couple in my warm ups! As for skipping/hiding.. A short tale in images. I went to do a big picture for the end of the month, and realised belatedly that I was rendering over massive construction issues, so I went back to the line art and redidt the shading in flats.    Ended up doing a completely flat version which is awful but HONESTLY awful.  and a face practise.

I'm such a nerd that I'm making a fan made Stand and Stand User like from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure   Just a little practice in character design. It's a Russian black market weapons dealer who has a Stand named [MAN ON SILVER MOUNTAIN] (haha get it cus its like that one song ho ho he he chrokle chorkle). It can extend its spine and upper torso really fuckin' high to the point where no one can see it. It also shoots bullets from its right hand that don't drop over time from gravity and hit their targets instantaneously. Plus, the Russian guy is *veeeeery* skeptical about everything in life, so the only people that hear Silver Mountain's shots are those that he trusts (which there aren't many of to begin with). And yes, those are sniper bolts on its shoulders.

I think something's up with his eyes compared to the previous stage. It looks like he's blind or has a lazy eye or something now. Also I'm really liking that cuirass, but I feel like a good amount more contrast would really make it "pop" and scream "metal object" e: like, contrast in limited areas, I mean, not the whole thing. a hole-y ghost fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Oct 5, 2017 |

I'd consider changing the contrast on the gloves, the hands merge into the background/sleeves. The cloak on his shoulders also looks uneven, given it's so built up on the right side with heavily shadowed creases and then almost completely flat on the left.
